Ghostly Prison

Sorcerer Quietus 5, Spirit Manipulation 4 (10xp)

The deathly nature of vampiric vitae is a powerful force of entropy throughout the many realms of existence. When coupled with the sorcerous ability to entrap disembodied entities in physical forms, it was simply a matter of time before this technique was developed by enterprising Assamites of the sorcerer caste, who were already accustomed to using their blood as weapons against the immaterial.

System: The Sorcerer spends 1 Blood Trait and makes a declaration that they are spitting at the dematerialized spirit or similar creature (Abyssal, Astral, Bygones, Daeva (Creatures of Smoke and Shadow), Demons, Djinn, Fallen without a Host, Umbral and Wraiths). The sorcerer engages the entity in a contested Mental Challenge, retest Occult. This can affect the entity even while it exists in another realm, though the user must be able to perceive such an entity before they can target it.

If successful, the entity calcifies into an obsidian statue resembling its former self and falls through the barrier between worlds to land at the sorcerer's feet. In this state, the sorcerer can question the entity within, though only they can hear it's answers.  This doesn't mean they are forced to answer the sorcerer's questions either and can indeed lie. It's up to the sorcerer to come up with their own means to discern the truth.

The entity remains suspended in this state either for a scene or hour, until the sorcerer releases it, or until the statue is broken. If the statue is broken the entity is forcefully returned to its realm of origin, regardless of where it was when it was captured.

At the storyteller's discretion, the powerlevel of the trapped Entity could cause the amount of time trapped to be adjusted
