Level 5 RitaE

Brotherly Love

Cainites love to fool the mortal authorities. Many an unsolved case has existed where it is due to Cainite interference. The ability to kill a mortal with a single blow is an impressive feat. The death can manifest in many ways; sometimes an exploded heart, sometimes a ruptured appendix, always something violent and always something critical. Still the very impact which causes such an impressive death will never be discovered by mortals, with their narrow world view.

"I love my brother
For he is my rock
My gift to my lord is his sacrifice
The gift of murder will make my name known forever
For I am a child of God and my brother’s blood is my gift."

Effect: The next successful brawl or melee attack that wounds instantly kills a mortal target.

Tracing the Other Side

Cainites are always looking for ways to emulate the powers of their foes. The Werewolf ability to step ‘sideways’ has always been something which Cainites have always been jealous of. This Ritual was developed by a Werewolf scholar so he could track his foes when they attempted to escape his wrath. It allows a Cainite to step into the Umbra, but without any knowledge of spiritual matters it is almost impossible to navigate.

"The dogs will try to escape
The mongrels will run
They fear our strength
They hate our ways
The wretches are not deserving of our mercy
We will follow them everywhere until they fall at our feet."

Effect: Allows the participants to step into the Umbra. Test vs. 10 plus Gauntlet Rating to pass into the Umbra.

Pack Mentality

The Pack must act as one to be most effective. The higher the Vinculum the more benefits the Pack receives. Overuse of this ritual though has been known to cause addiction to its effects. The Priest must be strong-willed to avoid having to perform the ritual nightly due to its intoxicating effect. Though when used sensibly, this Ritual can make the difference between life and Final Death.

"The pack is first
Together we are stronger
The night holds no fear for those who are joined
We run together
We hunt together
We know how to win and we shall do so!"

Effect: Gain a bonus for all Pack members involved in the Ritual, dependant on Vinculum rating. (1-4: sense of strong feelings, 5-8: location of a pack member, 9-10 pack Telepathy).

Taste of Power

Sometimes the need of one can outweigh the need of many. This Ritual allows a Pack to choose a vessel and they may each donate a piece of themselves to that vessel. This is often used for champions and monomancy challenges. It is a difficult Ritual to enact, and the challenge is easier if the Priest has more contributors. Whilst the donated part is with the vessel, the donor loses the ability and risks losing it forever if the vessel dies. It is a risk but when necessary it is an awesome sight to behold.

"We will spend our will as one
We will gift our life to the one
We will show that we are as one
We will know the price of being whole."

Effect: The Ritual contributors may loan one Ability, Discipline, Trait, Merit, Gen or Willpower (they will not stack). These are subject to generation limits. If the transferee dies all loaned attributes are lost. If a transferrer is killed loaned attributes are lost. The Priest must make a test vs. 13 minus ritual group size.
