Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

This token passively tells if the target has died, or met final death if Cainite. Once crafted the tie can be used to detect any non-native afflictions affecting the individual the tie is bound to. The caster can make a number of Death Ties equal to double their thanatology or occult rating (Whichever is higher). Creating any beyond the limit causes others to no longer function in a first in- first out method.

System: The necromancer must secure a item to use as a focus for the token (ring, bracelet, gem, glass bead, etc.) and 1 point of the intended targets blood. While performing the Death Tie the necromancer must submerge the item to be tied within the blood of the intended target. With the item submerged the necromancer must spend 1 WP and make a mental challenge (retest thanatology) vs. the targets current WP. (reduce this by 2 if the target is willing). Once a target is linked to a Death Tie the item is bound to that individual regardless of distance. Should the individual linked to a particular death tie meet death (Final death if a vampire) the item will break with an audible crack.

Additionally: while focusing on the Death Tie and examining the individual in your presence, the necromancer can spend 1 mental trait to see if there are any semi-permanent afflictions affecting the individual. (Derangements, flaws, negatives, taint, etc. that are not native to the character sheet and have a duration of longer than 1 scene/hour are considered semi-permanent for the purposes of this)
