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.
The Heavens see all and judge all. With this ritual, the Masters of Heaven and Earth may tap into a fraction of that power. With knowledge of the ritual Eyes of the Past, this ritual, and the knowledge of Ascension, the Ashipu may take advantage of the Ascended state to gather more information than Eyes of the Past alone. The Ashipu does whatever they do normally to enter an Ascended state for the Ladder of Heaven, where their mind enters a dreamlike state and may view a past time of the area they are in at their leisure.
The Ashipu must already know Eyes of the Past and have this ritual on their sheet to learn this ritual. It works as per Eyes of the Past with the following differences:
The Ashipu must spend a Willpower along with the two Mental Traits required.
The Ashipu views a moment in time in which they may interact with the environment. No living beings (undead, spiritual, or otherwise) that were there at that time are visible, but the Ashipu may inspect and use powers of the blood on objects in the area.
The Heavens see all and are not limited to enclosed spaces. If this ritual is cast outside or in an incomplete room, the effects of the ritual work and the Ashipu may view the past of an area within a ten foot radius that his body is in reality.
Instead of a five minute time frame, the ritual may last as long as an entire scene unless their body is disturbed, in which case they snap back into consciousness.
An example use of this power would be the Ashipu going to the location of a burned down home and reading books or notes that existed at the time they selected before fire consumed them.
For reference, this is the write up for Eyes of the Past, Laws of Elysium page 83:
Eyes of the Past (Intermediate)
By expending two Mental Traits and casting this ritual, you are able to view events at the location of the casting, up to five years prior. A specific time and date must be chosen. Up to a five-minute time span can be watched, and during this full sensory enchantment, you will be unaware of your physical surroundings. This ritual may only affect one room.
