Custom Sabbat Ritae

The standard path of Metamorphosis looks at the next level of evolution for the individual organism. The belief behind this ritual is that true evolution does not happen at the level of a singular organism but at the level of a species as a whole. Azhi Dahaka will be found by moving Cainites as a whole to their next step. In order to take that next step Cainites must understand all the myriad ways that they currently view themselves and the different ways they connect with the world around them. This will facilitate the necessary adaptability required of everyone involved, and a better understanding of the different roles required of each individual to make such a visionary change happen.  It is never entered into lightly, as it intimately bares the world view of each participant to the other.

System:

In order for this ritual to work, each participant must already have a viniculum rating of at least 5 to each other and must either be on a Path of enlightenment or if on Humanity have a rating of 2 or less. The officiating priest starts off by removing his or her own eye (dealing themselves 1 level of aggravated damage) and mashes it to a pulp in a vaulderie cup. Each participant then bleeds into the cup and drinks from it like a standard vaulderie. Instead of receiving a new viniculum rating, however, each participant instead receives a newfound understanding of how the others' view the world and their place in it. This is represented by each participant sharing their path name and rating, and their Conscience/Conviction rating with the pack priest. From this point forward, whenever the pack priest casting the ritual witnesses another participant violate one of their path tenets, or if they themselves violate a Path tenet on behalf of one of the other participants, they may add +1 to all virtue and path checks. This is to represent the priests new understanding of the others beliefs. Also If the priest is in line of sight of his packmates, he may spend a Willpower to give them a retest on any non-supernatural frenzy test, This represents the voice of priest, the calming effect of his presence.

This effect last for 6 months, at any point during the duration the priest may make a Static Empathy challenge against any participant to get their current path rating, so the priest may monitor gains and losses.
