System

Blood Contract creates an unbreakable agreement between two parties who sign it of their own free will. The contract must be written in your blood. All clauses in the contract must be understood by all parties and responsibilities must be listed explicitly. Each party referenced directly in the contract must sign her agreement to the stipulations in her own blood.

A Blood Contract must include the following three clauses: • A clear description of the service or favor provided by the individual who is being contracted. • A clear description of the payment provided by the individual doing the contracting. • The terms under which the Blood Contract can be terminated. These clauses do not have to be fair, but they must exist for the Blood Contract to function. Attempts to add clauses that forbid the destroying of the contract, override the required clauses, or absolve an individual from the consequences of breaching the contract, cause the ritual to immediately fail. Anyone who signs said contract is now mystically bound and must follow it to the letter, including the thaumaturge, if she is one of the signing parties. Violators automatically suffer enough damage to cause them to enter into torpor. Should someone be foolish enough to violate the contract, both parties sense it immediately.

The Blood Contract lasts until one party dies, until its completion cause is triggered, or until the document itself is destroyed. It is possible to coerce an individual into signing a Blood Contract with threats, but if a character is compelled to sign a contract with a supernatural power, the ritual fails.

Sample Blood Contract: Percival (the target) must do his best to ensure that no one discovers that Dominic (the caster) killed Prince Leon. In return, Dominic will teach Percival four powers of Dominate over the next six months. This contract shall be nullified if the circumstances of Prince Leon’s death become publicly known without Percival’s involvement.
