Lightning Rod
Description
In ancient history, the effects of lighting were seen as so devastating yet seemingly so random that they must surely be the work of the gods. It is no wonder that early thaumaturges sought to harness its power for their own. This ritual allows you to create a powerful tool to enhance your abilities, channeling electricity with even greater effect.
System
To cast this ritual, you must obtain a piece of wood from a tree struck by lightning that must then be fashioned into a rod. Thereafter, whenever you hold the rod and use it with the Path of Weather Control: Lightning, your bolt does aggravated damage.
In addition, if you have successfully struck a character with your lightning bolt, you may cause it to arc and attack a second character within 3 steps of the first. This does not require any additional Blood or actions. To do so, you must immediately initiate a second opposed challenge with your new target. If you succeed, apply the regular effects of Path of Weather Control: Lightning, but your target will take 1 fewer point of damage. You may use this ability only once per turn.
Only you may use your own Lightning Rod and you may only have one at a time. Creating an additional rod causes the previous rod to become inert.
