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.
Casting time: 1 hour
Cost: 1 Willpower point + 1 blood point for each influence moved.
"Where there's fame, there are eyes. Where there are eyes, there's power."
Description:
Inspired by the ancient Expedited Papers ritual, this modern version was developed for mages connected to global and digital structures. Instead of traditional bureaucratic documents, the ritual anchors itself in highly visible international NGOs, using their networks and reputation to generate "living paths" of influence between cities and countries.
By activating this ritual, the Tremere can transfer, borrow, or use Influence linked to the NGO without the use of Fame. The NGO functions as a symbolic anchor, a living body of public reputation that makes spiritual roles dynamic, flexible, and transitory.
Components: A printed or digital dossier with seals from the NGO involved, a lit candle with black wax (or digitally symbolized by a flashing light on a dark screen), and a symbol of the destination location (a currency from the country, soil, a local newspaper, or even a geographic IP address).
Effect: Allows you to temporarily transfer/borrow/use up to 3 types of Influence from one location to another for one night.
The destination must be within the network of the symbolic NGO used in the ritual, and its use is equivalent to the fame level of the magi linked to the NGO.
Additional Notes:
If a Tremere dies, their Influence points automatically go to a Magi in their city, also linked to the NGO.
The affiliated NGO can also assist those who wish to return to humanity/reclaim humanity or simply want to engage with mortals. To do this, the ST must use the NGO's practical area of activity to interact with Magi (since helping others is a virtue).
