Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

In Gematria, all things are seen to have a numerical value. It is by this basis that this ritual was
created by members of Subhouse Hashem and Subhouse Wards and Measures in order to reduce the
cost of expensive and rare componants while also making the use of Thaumaturgical Rituals much less
obvious by replacing material components used in Thaumaturgical Rituals with their corresponding
gematria numerical values. These Hebrew numbers should be applied directly to the object or person
the ritual is intended to be cast upon using kosher sofer ink mixed with the casters blood at a ratio of
one drop of blood per ounce of ink. The ink should be applied by a shaped turkey feather or reed known
as a kulmus. The caster spends a blood and applies the gematria sigil onto the recipient object or
person (including oneself) while chanting. The blood in the ink is absorbed by the ritual as the spell is
cast, leaving just the ink sigils. If the numerical sequence is correct, the next ritual applied may be cast
without the need for the componant dictated by the gematria sequence used before casting the
intended ritual. If the gematria numerical value is incorrect in any way when the next ritual is applied, the
ritual will backlash at both the caster and object/person the script is applied to. This ritual Cannot
replace sympathetic links or true name components.
System:
The caster of this ritual must specify the ritual and which specific componant they wish to substitute
before casting.They must then spend one blood and apply the gematria characters with a kulmus and
the prepared sofer ink to a person or object to be enchanted while chanting. The caster must succeed in
a static mental challenge versus ten traits (retest with Kabbalah). If the static succeeds, the blood in the
ink is mystically absorbed by the ritual and the caster may then proceed with the intended ritual minus
the specified material componant substituted with gematria. If the static fails due to the gematria
pattern being wrong, the magic backlashes aggressively and immediately, dealing two aggrevated
damage (can be soaked normally) to both the caster and the recipient of the ritual (if there is one in the
case of the caster enchanting themselves). This ritual may only be used as a substitute for a single
componant per casting. It takes ten minutes per level of the ritual augmented in this way (10 minutes
for a basic, twenty for intermediate, and thirty minutes for an advanced ritual).
