Custom Blood Magic: Ritual
Some chronicles allow for their players to develop customized powers for their characters. The following is a compilation of player created custom content in OWBN. At this time, custom content that is created and/or used by vampire PC's is required to be listed.
Summon Lamashtu (intermediate Abyss Mysticism Ritual)
In Mesopotamian mythology, Lamashtu was a female demon, monster, malevolent goddess or demigoddess who menaced women during childbirth and, if possible, kidnapped their children while they were breastfeeding. She would gnaw on their bones and suck their blood, as well as being charged with a number of other evil deeds. She was a daughter of the Sky God Anu.
Lamashtu is depicted as a mythological hybrid, with a hairy body, a lioness' head with donkey's teeth and ears, long fingers and fingernails, and the feet of a bird with sharp talons. She is often shown standing or kneeling on a donkey, nursing a pig and a dog, and holding snakes. She thus bears some functions and resemblance to the Mesopotamian demon Lilith.
Among the Abyss the Lamashtu are the servants of Ereshkigal. They are her personal creatures of the Abyss. The Priestesses of Ereshkigal learn to summon these creatures and command them for a time. The Abyss Mystic speaks in the ancient forgotten Sumerian tongue and evokes their loyalty to Ereshkigal and using her name to command them.
System: This ritual costs 1 Blood trait to cast. Once summoned the Lamashtu will perform 1 task. After either the task is performed the Lamashtu will depart. Should stats for a Lamashtu be needed use the Demon creation rules from Laws of the Night Sabbat Guide page 108 using the stats for Fiends. The Lamashtu are not demons. Rather they are Abyss Spirits entities but are not vulnerable to the power Spirit Manipulation.
Side Effect: For a month after the Lamashtu has been summoned the caster must spend 1 additional blood trait to awaken for the evening.
