MET LARP SRD

With careful practice and manipulation, the threads of one fate may be intertwined with another in a solemn act of binding. In this ritual, the fate of one becomes the fate of the other, ensuring mutual destruction or survival. While this is rarely a choice one would make for combat, a thaumaturge may invoke this binding over a pair of distrusting vampires to ensure peaceful negotiations. 

To learn this ritual you must be skilled in the Path of Caelestinikenesis. To cast this ritual,  you must first ritually bind the hands of two willing vampires together, one of which can be yours. The two participants must each spend 1 point of their own Blood to spill on the binding as you speak the words and finalize the magic with a point of your own Blood. From the moment you untie their hands, the pair remains mystically connected, each sharing the other's condition. As the caster of the ritual, unless you participate in the binding as one of the two ritual participants, you remain unaffected. 

Any post-Fortitude damage, healing, or effects that happen to one party will also manifest on the other party who cannot mitigate or negate the damage. Should one party enter torpor, the other does as well. Similarly, any positive effects applied after the casting are mirrored, but existing conditions from before the ritual was enacted do not transfer across. In addition, a character’s pre-existing derangement will not be mirrored, but a new derangement caused by Dementation inflicted on one party will affect the other party in the same way. 

You may choose to end the effects of this ritual early, but not instantaneously. Both parties must agree to end it, just as they agreed to start it. To do so, you must re-tie the pair’s hands with the same binding you used to enact the ritual and sever the cord. No one can be under the effects of more than one application of Conduit of Fate; if they attempt to participate in a second ritual casting while the first is active, the second will fail and the original will remain active. If not voluntarily severed, this ritual ends in 30 days.
