Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Due to their legacy of mortal magic, many Ashipu are very familiar with mystical talismans and powerful magic weapons.  While many blood sorcerers also benefit from these magical trinkets so too does the Ashipu’s enemies.  As a result some Ashipu developed this ritual as master of heaven and earth to call upon the heavens to intervene for a time and deny such mystical items their properties when around the Ashipu.  To perform this ritual the Ashipu must gather an appropriate offering to whichever deities they may follow and offer a blood sacrifice and prayer to protect them.  After which the Ashipu takes the blood and paints their face ritualistically.  For the next hour the Ashipu is protected from mystical items (though that means they may not use any themselves); as the blood from their face slowly wilts and is consumed over the time of the ritual.

System:  This ritual costs 1 blood to cast, and once cast this ritual lasts a scene or an hour, and may not be ended early.  During that time, any magic item of any type ceases to function in a radius around the caster equal to a number of yards times their Permanent Willpower score.  This ritual affects magic items of all types, and those so affected are unable to call upon their supernatural abilities and qualities while within the radius.  Such items revert to their mundane status while within the confines of this ritual.  The caster and his allies are not immune to the effects of this ritual; and thus are also unable to call upon magic items of any kind.  Once the magic item leaves the radius of the caster they return to their normal function.  This ritual affects any and all magic items from Fetishes, to Treasures, to Wonders, or anything else that is not a mundane item.  This ritual has no effects on item benefits from the Crafts Ability.
