• • Ascension of the Blood  • •
Casting Time:    10 minutes
Duration:        Instant
Requirements:    Occult ability 2; Latin 
Components:      An ensorcelled chalice
Visible Effects: None
This ritual must be combined with another ritual that would require a Tremere to ingest the blood as part of the ritual. The blood to be ingested must be first passed through the chalice before being consumed. In doing so, the consumption does not form a blood bond. Any blood consumed in such a way provides no sustenance.

 

• • Black Water  • •
Casting Time:    1 hour
Duration:        Lasts 1 week
Requirements:    Occult ability 2; Latin
Components:      A specially prepared dark oil
Visible Effects: See Below
The vampire may create a liquid that, once poured into a body of water the size of a large swimming pool, will turn it opaque black. The liquid will lose its potency in a week, but once used, it lasts until dispelled, diluted, or evaporated.

 

• • Blood Mead  • •
Casting Time:    30 minutes
Duration:        See Below
Requirements:    Occult ability 2; Greek
Components:      vitae and mead
Visible Effects: See Below
It was thought by the cults of Dionysus that super-natural powers could be procured while under the effects of oinos, or any intoxication for that matter. During the Dionysian rites, a special drink combining vitae and mead (a fermented honey drink) might be prepared for favored supplicants. The drink was thought to pass on a powerful resilience, though only under intoxication. Similarly, a thaumaturge casting this ritual will be able to withstand a greater amount of damage than he would normally tolerate.

System: The thaumatruge must ingest this concoction to trigger it's effect. By mingling two points of his own vitae with a honey brew, the magus creates a potent anesthetic and intoxicant. While under this effect, the caster gains an extra bruised health level. However, he suffers the effects of intoxication and, as such, loses one die to all dexterity and intelligence dice pools. The effects from Blood Mead last a number of hours equal to the successes scored after the blood mead is imbibed. At night's end, the vitae within the blood mead dilutes and loses it's mystical properties and, as a result, cannot refill a vampire's blood pool. The mead may, however, continue to act as an intoxicant, depending on how much the vampire consumed.

 

• • Blood Walk  • •
Casting Time:    1 hour
Duration:        Instant
Requirements:    Occult ability 2; Latin
Components:      1 Blood Trait of the subject
Visible Effects: None

The caster may drink the blood at the climax of the ritual. If they do so they automatically become aware of the subject’s clan; generation; and the most powerful Blood Bonds the subject has, as both Regnant and Thrall. Specific knowledge of each blood-bonded vampire is also obtained, including the vampire's true name. If they do not consume the blood it evaporates.

The next three times the blade is used to successfully inflict damage on a supernatural creature it’s base damage is two aggravated, rather than two normal. Once it has inflicted it’s third set of damage, the flame sputters and dies.

Casting Time:    1 hour
Duration:        Varies
Requirements:    Occult ability 2
Components:      A piece of mail delivered to the victim or a sample of their writing; a document related to the endeavour
Visible Effects: None
The antithesis of expedient paperwork, when cast upon a rival’s efforts, it causes them to become mired in red tape, lost in the post and so forth. In game terms, the caster must know about an individual’s efforts to employ influence, and possess a document related to the effort. Any paperwork related to this endeavour takes three times as much work as it would to process, or reach the intended recipient. This will increase the difficulty of appropriate downtime actions by two.

Duration:        1 Year
Requirements:    Occult ability 2; Latin
Components:      None
Visible Effects: None
Designed to maintain the masquerade, Deny the Intruder ensures that those who make the chantry their home are never bothered by unwanted individuals. By casting this night long ritual and renewing it yearly with the sacrifice of a blood trait, the chantry becomes mystically obscured from mortal bureaucracy. It does not appear in records, applications for planning in the area never pass and utility bills never arrive or are chased up. In game terms, relevant downtime actions that attempt to affect the chantry add +5 to their difficulty.

 

• • Detect Authority  • •
Casting Time:    2 minutes
Duration:        instant
Requirements:    Occult ability 2, Perception + intimidation
Components:      None
Visible Effects: None

They then clasp hands, mixing their blood while the caster stares into the eyes of the neonate, searching for any mystical sign of the prince's blood or power.

System: The caster rolls Perception + intimidation (difficulty of the neonates willpower.) Any successes reveal if the neonate is blood bound or under the control of a vampire's Discipilne. The Anarchs will usually refuse to accept anyone who tests positive to this ritual, unless she has a damn good explanation.

Casting Time:    20 Minutes
Duration:        4 Hours

Upon completing the ritual the caster counts as if they are using Unseen Presence. Their effective level in Obfuscate to be perceived by someone with Auspex is 3. Once the caster takes action (or her faux obfuscation is otherwise broken), the ritual ends.

Whilst controlling the bird, the caster does not see or hear their own surroundings. The caster may relinquish control of the bird at any time, once they do so, it automatically returns to the caster, but to see through it’s eyes and ears again would require the ritual to be recast.

When the bird returns to the caster they must ritually remove it’s eyes. If they do not (or the bird is unable to return), then the caster suffers a three night period of blindness.

At least he went out in his sleep’. Upon successful completion of the ritual he places the feather over the subject’s heart and it sinks from view.

• • Inscription  • •
Casting Time:    Same as doing yourself
Duration:        Until Used then based on ritual given
Requirements:    Occult ability 2; Access to the Ritual
Components:    Tremere Blood  
Visible Effects: None
Not everyone can be proficient with Thaumaturgy. Some Tremere build mystic items specifically to aid their subordinates or allies. A neonate with only the rudiments of skill may have need of a specific ritual, or another kindred might desire to purchase the special services of Thaumaturgy but need them for his own later use. Instead of taking the time and risk to instruct someone else in the fine points of the working in question, a proficient thaumaturge can build an annotated version of a ritual, fueled with his blood, to make the formula accessible to someone else.

The inscription ritual allows the thaumaturge to place any other first or second level ritual in a written form. This generally requires the equivalent of a full page of paper. A reader can then unlock the power of that ritual by reading the inscription and following it's instructions. The scribe uses his blood as a base for the ink, and his vitae's power remains in the mixture to help fuel the ritual. An inscribed ritual is in imperfect form - it cannot be used to learn thaumaturgy. It's a simplified set of instructions, with the scribe's vitae empowering the rite so that it overcomes any omissions or sloppiness on part of the practitioner.

System: A thaumaturge who knows the techniques of Inscription can write an abbreviated form for any first or second level ritual that he knows, at a cost of two blood points. Anyone who can read the language may then use the ritual notes later. Actually casting the ritual from the notes requires the use of the usual components and time, as well as the standard intelligence + occult roll, but the caster need not have any knowledge of Thaumaturgy. Once an inscription is complete, the power of the writer's vitae is trapped in the object; his maximum blood pool is effectively reduced by one until the inscription is used. After use, the inscription dries into a fine, illegible ash, with all the power expelled from the vitae-based ink. The scribe can use the scroll himself (which is rather pointless) or give it to someone else. To prevent an inscription from reaching the wrong subject many scribes also use Encrypt Missive with this ritual.

This ritual allows the caster to imbue a physical object with a portion of their blood, creating a convenient means of storing blood for later use. The blood may be consumed at any time in the future by swallowing the infused item. Many Tremere wear several pieces of infused jewellery as a precaution.

The object must be of a size that the vampire can easily hold in both hands, and can be as small as a pea. One of the caster's own Blood Points must be used, and the proper incantations require four hours to complete. Afterward, the object takes on a slightly ruddy hue and is oddly slick to the touch. By touching the object, the original caster (see exception below) may release the blood from its enchantment, causing the object to disintegrate. It then completely breaks down into a puddle of blood (one Blood Point's worth).

Such an "infused focus" can be made for another Kindred, though the other vampire must be present at the initial ritual (the Blood Point must still be the caster's). With this exception to the rule, both the caster and the recipient may release the blood.

The willpower expended in this ritual is ‘invested’.

The ritual requires 4 blood points to complete the ritual, sealing the room for a decade. For every additional blood point spent, the duration is extended by a decade.

The chamber is covered by an air-tight mystically sealed, which will quickly lead to suffocation for anyone living inside and prevent access to the room for most physically. It also prevents mystical access from rituals such as Open Passage; Incorporeal Passage, as well as disciplines such as Mist Form. Psychically projecting forms, ghosts & spirits are not barred from entering

Whilst the seal is firm, the chamber’s security is still limited by the material that forms these temporary walls. They can still be broken down, dug through or otherwise breached by significant physical force.
