Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Similar to a Diabloist or a Kindred who makes a pact with a Yama King to become an Akums, this Abyss Mystic allows the vampire to contact the dark gods of the Abyss who rule this alien realm. By learning the name of the Lord of Darkness one wishes to summon, creating a prepared circle in blood and an altar made of Obsidian; the Abyss Mystic may call them out to grant them power. Once complete the Abyss Mystics falls into a slumber similar to that caused by daylight. As they do they commune with the called Lord of Darkness. There a great negotiation occurs between the mystic and the alien god. Once agreed upon the Abyss Mystic awakens and finds new power gifted to them by their liege.
System: The Abyss Mystic summons forth one of the Lords of Darkness, a ruler of the Abyss to enter into an agreement with them for dark power. The Abyss Mystic may summon a specific Lord of Darkness if they so desire to bargain with. Once complete the Abyss Mystic must agree to whatever terms and services the Lord of Darkness and themselves have negotiated to. Usually the Lord of Darkness requires a specific service, but also require specific things or force the vampire to suffer some sort of flaw or penalty. This pact should be written on the characters sheet for whatever the agreement was. Once the agreement has been reached the character may purchase one path of Dark Thaumaturgy or Investment per agreement/use of this ritual. The Paths available through Dark Thaumaturgy in this method are listed below. Dark Thaumaturgy Rituals are also available but are learned by normal Blood Magic Ritual rules. The ones available are listed below as well. The rules for this pact are presented in the Brotherhood of Rafazi packet under Soul Arts.

Additionally, if the character ever violated her pacts, they character loses access to their Dark Thaumaturgy and/or Investments and may only may gain it back by making amends with the Lords of Darkness. All Paths and Rituals are Demon Coordinator Approval. The character may not get other Investments from this ritual, and would need to become a normal infernalist to do so.
