Ritual:Puppet

Puppet (2)

Requirements:	Necromancy, Rituals 2
Components:	A black makeup pencil
Cost:	2 blood
Cast Time:	4 minutes

Prepare your necromantic foci

Using the makeup pencil draw sigils on the backs of the target’s hands and on their forehead.

Recite the following:

"Spirits of the Dead,
You needn’t wrestle
I have prepared for you
This (un)willing vessel!"

Spend 2 blood.

On a white 3x5 card, write the following:

Ritual: Puppet
Caster: (Your name)
Target: (Target’s name)
Begin Time: (Current time and date)
Duration: 1 hour.
Effect: For the duration, the caster can use a special form of the Channelling, No Cost, Other, 10 minutes power. Make the hand sign as normal, but with your left hand, point to the target of the ritual. This allows any umbral target to attempt to possess the target of the ritual.

Writing the 3x5 card is part of casting the ritual; it should either be done at the time of casting, or the caster must silently meditate for 1 minute if a preprinted card is used.

This effect persists for the duration even if the target washes the marks off.

The caster can target themselves with this ritual, in which case the effect is identical to normal Channelling.
