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.
Level: Intermediate
Objective of the Ritual:
This ritual causes a mystical plant to rapidly grow from a previously prepared Blood Seed. The plant spreads across the stone surface where the Gargoyle has merged through Visceratika, forcing it to be expelled abruptly.
Knowledge Used for Creation:
Occult Level 5
Academics (Chemistry) Level 4
Academics (Biology) Level 5
Academics (Architecture) Level 3
Lore (Gargoyle) Level 1 (Packet Custom)
Lore (Kindred) Level 5
Medicine Level 3
Required Materials:
A Blood Seed
Limestone Powder
Gardening Tools
Blood (Vitae) of the ritual performer
A vial of witch's herb essence (Aconitum)
Steps of the Ritual:
To prepare the Blood Seed, open a hole in the center of the triskelion using gardening tools, and sprinkle the limestone powder over the seed while reciting: "Terra Mater, Petra Pater, Visceratika Evomit." Visualize the plant's roots breaking through the structures around the Gargoyle. Pour seven drops of your Vitae over the seed. Then, add seven drops of the witch's herb essence into the vessel. The essence will strengthen the plant's mystical nature. Recite: "Vitae et Herba, Coniunge et Cresce. Visceratika Obruta, Planta Emergit!" At this moment, touch the vessel with both hands, transferring mystical energy through desire and seeking harmony with your Vitae previously deposited in the Blood Seed to accelerate the plant's growth. Finally, bury the prepared Blood Seed near the structure where the Gargoyle is immersed, touch the soil, and finalize the enchantment: "Expulsio Petra Viva."
Result:
A mystical plant will rapidly grow from the Blood Seed, taking about 7 minutes to cover the entire area and settle on the surface. If a Gargoyle is merged with the stone using Visceratika, it will be forced to separate, being abruptly expelled from the surface immediately. The plant makes the area hostile to Gargoyles, preventing them from using Visceratika to merge with the stone in that area for 1 week, the duration of this mystical plant's life cycle. This ritual is effective within a radius of up to 5 meters from the point where the seed was buried.
