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.
Others scoff, and denigrate Hermetic Thaumaturgy as, “Industrial Magic”, but the Tremere of the Pyramid know better. The ability to collaborate, to take apart magic, study it, take the parts you need, and combine it in new ways is what makes the Tremere the premiere blood mages of the Camarilla.
This ritual was developed in response to a collaboration between House Trismegistus and the Josians to create something that would be useful for both. This ritual is intended to facilitate all types of group study and research, especially those involving searches for information about demons carried out by the Josians and Thaumaturgical studies in general carried out by the Tremere.
The thaumaturge creates a paste by mixing a point of his blood with equal portions of rosemary, thyme, and powdered bay leaf. After the mixture takes on the correct consistency, it is necessary to add seven drops of araçá essential oil, a plant native to Brazil. As the paste dries quickly, it must be promptly placed in a mold of the user's choice so that the incense can be shaped soon after being ready.
Mechanical:
When accessing a room with the incense, where a group will participate in a study session, the time required to achieve the study objective is reduced by ⅓ of the original time and the difficulty on rolls related to completing the study in question is reduced by 3 traits. If kept lit, the incense will burn slowly for a month. If it is extinguished earlier, the magical properties of the incense will be lost, and the ritual will need to be performed again, with newly created incense.
