Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

This ritual is a way of modifying the effect of path magic the user possesses. The practitioner offers prayers to the goddess Kali, entreating her to aid them in the alteration of the magics they intend to enact.  While reciting these prayers, the caster must spill their blood, mixing it with that of goats sacrificed in her name.  The blood is then collected and then used to anoint the flesh of the caster while enacting the magics he wishes to alter.  It is said that Kali’s nature sometimes causes her to alter these castings, should the sadhu attempt to further alter the blessings she bestows.

System: The Storyteller has the final decision on the effects of this ritual. This ritual can be used to modify the outcome or duration of path magic.  It can not be used to remove components necessary to enact some magic, such as sympathetic links.  This ritual may only be used on path magic that targets the caster only. It may not be used to change the target of the power to be enacted. Regarding the duration of effects, they may be doubled. Any attempt to further alter this ritual, or delay the casting (i.e. via Trigger or Vires) will result in an equally significant negative effect befalling the caster.  It is encouraged that the caster not be made aware of this consequence until the path magic is cast.  The cost of the subsequent use of magic is increased by three traits of the casters blood.
