Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

The varying defenses of a well protected Haven most often require copious amounts of ritual components, time and blood for them to be cast upon the location. Frequently, the casting of these rituals also only ever takes into account the original targets of who are participating at the time. Usually these are just the residents of said location and no one else. To add others so they may pass through the defenses of a location, one must ordinarily destroy all their hard work and start from scratch once again. There are two versions of this ritual. The basic version allows for temporary access through such defenses, while the advanced version makes such access permanent.

System:

The thaumaturge casting this ritual must either be the original caster of the ritual that is being affected or have taken them over through the use of the combination discipline Theft of Will.

Basic: The target of this ritual must be bled and a single trait of blood taken to be used in a small inscription within the Haven’s main ritual chamber wall. This will grant the individual access through the various defenses that the location has for 1 to 3 nights, depending on the temporary mental traits spent at the time of the casting. This inscription fades away after the designated amount of time.

Adv: The target of this ritual must be bled and a single trait of blood for each ritual affected must be taken to be used in an intricate inscription upon the Haven’s main ritual chamber walls. This will grant the individual access through the various defenses that the location has until the inscription is removed from the walls. A willpower must be spent at the time of this casting by both the caster and targeted individual.
