Creatio Ignis
Level 5
Blood Sorcery — Rituals
The Ritualist coats her arms in enchanted blood. For the remainder of the night, she may ignite this blood, safe from the Bane effects of the fire, and strike her enemies with fiery blows.
System
At any point in the night, the ritualist may spend a simple action to expose her arms to a source of fire, igniting them for the rest of the scene. Once ignited, the user may attack targets with an opposed challenge (using Dexterity instead of Strength), dealing 1 aggravated damage per hit. These attacks cannot benefit from exceptional successes, but can be used to ignite flammable objects. In addition, the mere sight of the ritualist's arms bursting into flame causes all vampires within 6 steps of the ritualist to make a Terror Frenzy test versus a difficulty 3 immediately.
To learn this Blood Sorcery Ritual, a character requires three dots in the Church of Caine Loresheet or instruction from a character who possesses the ritual.
