Requirements: Caster must be either Philodox Werewolf, any Corax, or any Bastet
Components: 1 present Target, and 1 glass of water
Cost: 1 Willpower
Cast Time: 1 minute
May contribute to: Wisdom
Purpose: Determine Breed, Auspice, Tribe, Full shifter/kinfolk about the target character.

The target must be present for this Ritual to commence. If the target leaves during the Ritual, the ritual fails. Recite: "[target name], You stand before me to test your lineage. With the help of the Spirits, we will learn your true nature."

Prepare the glass of water and hold it before the target. While waving your hand in a circle motion above the glass, palm down, recite: "Mother of all, Father in the Sky, we petition you for your child's parentage. We wish to know whether [he/she] is of the Folk, and what folk they are of. As I am [shifter name][, tribe if appropriate],[ auspice if appropriate], of the [shifter type] I drink of this cup that we may know your true nature."

Drink the water and breathe deeply to a silent 30 count, eyes closed, then spend the willpower.

Out of Game, you may ask any/all of the following questions. The target must answer (show them this paper if they don't believe you) as written on their sheet. The Impostor power will overcome this Ritual.
