MET LARP SRD

Life and death are two sides of the same coin; an unending cycle that powers itself. The curse of vampirism preserves life somewhere in between. By manipulating and harnessing the energy released by the dead, the necromancer crafts a powerful weapon hungry for the lifeblood of vampires. 

To cast this ritual, you must first unearth a body that was buried within the past lunar cycle. Nine white oak tree seeds and 1 point of your Blood must be forced into the throat of the body, which is then buried in the light of a full moon at its apex. The tree grows with supernatural rapidity, and on the next full moon, it has matured into what seems to be a twisted sapling. You may cut a number of stakes from the roots of the tree equal to your Morality rating. Rather than suffering a -3 penalty when attempting to stake another, wielding a stake made from the roots only imposes a -1 penalty to your attack pool. All other conditions must be met in order to successfully stake another vampire.

Once the stake has been cut and infused with power, anyone can use it. Any stakes enhanced by this ritual must be used within one month, or the power within them fades. Once this stake pierces a heart, it reverts to a normal stake.
