MET LARP SRD

Most consider their shadow a superfluous accompaniment, the byproduct of a strong light source against a canvas of shade. Few understand what it truly represents – repressed impulses, rage, and desires. While it may seem a repository for the undesired aspects of the psyche, it remains a necessary component of the soul. You have the power to sever a victim’s shadow, gaining a measure of power over your target.

You may only perform this ritual on an incapacitated, restrained, or willing target. To cast it, you must prepare a set of silver instruments by ritually cleaning and polishing them before spending 1 point of your Blood to coat them. Once done, you may begin to cut away the target’s shadow. At the will of the ritualist, this process can be painful to the target. Abyss Mystics who revel in cruelty will prolong this shadowy surgery or use dull instruments. At the ritual’s conclusion, the target’s shadow is detached and materializes in the form of a translucent fabric. 

As long as you have this item in your possession, you gain a +3 bonus to use any Dominate and Abyss Mysticism powers against your target. In addition, she cannot use or be affected by any power which requires her to have a shadow, such as Shadow Twin or Shadowy Betrayal. 

After a year-and-a-day have passed, the translucent shadow fabric unravels, and the victim grows a new normal shadow. A victim of this power may prematurely end this ritual and reattach her shadow by wrapping herself in her shadow as she goes to sleep.
