Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

The Houngan or Mambo must place nine purple candles around an open grave directly after sunset.  They must light the candles and invoke Baron Samedi for the embrace of the grave.  They must lie bare naked with a nine of clubs playing card clutched in their hands for an entire night.  If the Baron accepts the offerings of the candles and the card the grave earth slowly seeps into the priest throughout the evening as the candle wax infuses with the grave earth.

Game Mechanics:

This rite allows a Voudon practitioner to infuse themselves with the power to utilize the Ash Path Power Ex Nihilo much easier. To enact Embrace of Grave, the subject must lie naked in the bare earth of a grave. This takes an entire night.  The grave soil infuses itself into the Houngan and its effects last for one week. An individual affected by Embrace of the Grave may use Ex Nihilo as per Laws of the Night Revised Page 154-55. While under Embrace of the Grave, the Houngan suffers from the flaw Smell of the Grave.  This ritual has no effect, other than to give the recipient the flaw Smell of the Grave for a week, unless the recipient has the Ash Path Power Ex Nihilo.
