Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

This ritual creates an alchemical paste resembling body paint, which may be prepared in advance of applying the war paint. The ritually created war paint must be used the same evening it is created, and as a basic ritual, requires 10 minutes to cast/prepare. Once applied, the paste remains active for the scene/hour. If the paste has not been used the night it was created, the magic fades and must be recast.

By applying this alchemical paste as war paint when preparing for combat, the character becomes a fearsome sight that can be used to taunt or incite rage in a target.

While under the effects of this ritual, as an action you may choose to incite rage in target. If you best the target in a social challenge, they must target you with all their attacks that round. If the target is unable to target you, (being out of range or engaged with another person) they must bid an additional trait to attack another. They do not need to bid an additional trait when focusing their attacks at you. The war paint must be visible to your enemy, but does not require eye contact. Example: if you are blinded, you can still shout at your target, but if they are blinded/unable to see you, they cannot be affected by this.
