Custom Kuei-jin: Ritual

Borrowing from the Bakemono Rite, this is a much less wicked form of application. Utilizing the
stories of Nuwa to fill an empty vessel of clay with the semblance of life, creating loyal soldiers
that are not corruptions of the flesh.
System: The ritualist must first shape an appropriate vessel of clay (Crafts 4 minimum), no other
can shape it for them as they must show the same care as Nuwa. After it is shaped it must be
fired, and a corrupted spirit called to be bound to the vessel. The ritualist must then go to a
Dragon Nest and make a Social Chop vs 15 Socials, retest Rituals with a success binding the
spirit while a failure leaves the spirit unbound and shatters the clay; the spirit will also attack you
immediately. The vessel retains the shape, though altered to look like flesh and fabric, as they
were formed by the ritualist and looks like a living being for all intents and purposes.
In combat, though, they will either warp into a manifestation of their true form or they will fight
while looking human with their body warping to accommodate weaponry. Damage inflicted
against the vessel causes them to crack like porcelain and to bleed muddy ichor.
Spirit Vessels can only bind corrupted spirits who have fallen from their purpose, with the
process slowly cleansing them and working to realign their purpose with Heaven. A Bane will
never be able to be bound to a Spirit vessel, unless that Bane is a Corrupted Wyld or Weaver
spirit. At the end of the term of service set by the Kuei-Jin (no more than 1 year and 1 day) the
spirit is freed and the ritualist must make a similar chop of Socials vs 15 with a Retest of rituals
to see if the spirit has been properly cleansed. If it fails the spirit is still corrupted and can be
rebound to a Spirit Vessel.
You are limited to a number of Spirit Vessels equal to your Occult Rating.
Spirit Vessels have the following stats, able to be modified by the Spirit bound to them.
Physicals: 12
Mentals: 5
Socials: 5
Abilities: Based entirely on the spirit bound to the vessel.
Form abilities: Use Fomori powers as a guideline.
Every 10 points of power a spirit had upon being bound equates to 1 Upgrade Point. Upgrade
points can be spent in the following ways:
Increase Physical, Mental, or Social Traits by 2 for every 1 point spent to a maximum of 14.
Increase two Abilities by 1 for every 1 point spent to a maximum of 5.
Gain 1 Fomori power for every 1 point spent.
