Calix Secretus
Level 2
Blood Sorcery — Rituals
This ritual allows you to infuse objects with your blood and retrieve that blood later.
System
Over the course of 1 week, the blood spent mystically diffuses into the item. Before a game session, make 5 static challenges. For each win or tie, your Calix Secretus contains 1 Rouse Check worth of blood. Once the ritual is complete, whenever the caster chooses, they may hold the object and concentrate to 'feed' from the item. They may consume up to two Rouse Checks' worth of blood with a Standard Action. Each Rouse Check worth of blood consumed reduces the caster's Hunger by 1 to their Blood Potency minimum. Only the caster may retrieve the blood. You may not reduce your Hunger below one with this power. To other characters, the object is mundane. The caster can only enhance one Calix Secretus at a time and may only do so once per game.
Ingredients
An object that can fit inside the caster's hand and a variable amount of the caster's blood.
Process
The process to create a Calix Secretus in a safe and controlled manner takes days of hunting and ritual casting. The ritualist goes through a cycle of drenching an object with their blood and feeding to limit the risk of Hunger Frenzy. Once the object is full, a pinch of fine-grain sand is sprinkled over the object, signifying that the ritual is complete. It takes 1 week to create a Calix Secretus.
Duration: Until all the blood is retrieved.
