Fire in the Blood
Level 3
Blood Sorcery — Rituals
The ritualist understands how to turn a victim's own Vitae against them using Sorcery to superheat the blood within. The victim feels like her blood is boiling inside of her.
System
After burning the visual depiction of her target, the ritualist must succeed in an opposed challenge. If successful, the target victim must immediately make a non-beneficial Rouse Check and suffers the Weakened Condition for 5 minutes as her body is racked by pain as if her vitae is on fire. The ritualist does not require line of sight to her target to utilize this ritual, but the target must be within 50 miles as the ritualist. If they are not within 50 miles, the ritual automatically fails. The ritualist does not learn that the target is outside of this radius by having this failure occur. They simply know that the ritual failed.
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.
Ingredients
A visual depiction of the target, either a photo, painting, or video recording.
Process
The ritualist must bleed 1 Hunger worth of blood (satisfying the normal cost of a Blood Sorcery ritual) on a visual depiction of her target victim, who must be a vampire. In the next hour, before the blood fully dries, she must then light the visual depiction on fire by spending a standard action.
Duration: 5 minutes.
