Blood Sorcery Ritual •••

With this ritual, the sorcerer conjures an eerie flame in her palm that sheds light but offers no warmth and does not provoke frenzy in other vampires. When she releases it at a target within sight, however, it burns like any ordinary fire and is beyond her control.

  • Cost: 1 Rouse Check
  • Dice Pool: Intelligence + Blood Sorcery
  • System: Lure of Flames uses the following system:
    • Ingredients: A pound of charcoal dust.
    • Process: The caster mixes the charcoal dust with his own Vitae in a bowl while chanting during sunrise (which usually require a roll to avoid falling asleep), then she lets a single ray of sunlight in, which ignites the contents of the bowl and forces a Terror Frenzy roll (Difficulty 3). If the caster fails the Frenzy roll, the Ritual ends. If the caster does not enter Frenzy, they make the Ritual roll and continue chanting until the fire dies. The resulting ashes can be collected. Upon necessity, the vampire cuts her palm and grabs a fistful of ashes, concentrating on the fire that once was, calling back its spirit.
