Ritual:Imbuing the Artifact
Imbuing the Artifact (3)
| Requirements: | Faith Numina |
| Components: | Target prop, participants per level of item |
| Cost: | (1 Willpower and 1 Essence) per level of the created Item until End of Game. 2 Energy per participant. |
| Cast Time: | 4 minutes |
| Purpose: | Creation of Faith Fetish items. |
To perform this ritual: Gather as many people together as the Item Level you wish to create. You may not create an Item with a level above your current level of the Faith Numina. Place the prop you wish to turn into a Fetish in a reliquary or other place of veneration. The congregation of participants should gather around the item. Once they are all standing around proselytize for 5 minutes about your faith and the item itself. In doing so, describe what the item will do (you need not use power names, but should describe what it will allow you to do). Complete the ritual by asking each participant: "I ask you to show your Faith in [patron]. Allow [him/her/them/it] to empower this item for the greater good." If they answer Yes, notify the player with an out of game hand gesture that in order to complete the ritual they need to donate 2 Energy to the item. If any member fails to donate the 2 Energy or answers No, then the ritual fails.
Once you have addressed each character with this, notify the players that all who donated Energy will have their Patron changed to your Patron for at least the next 6 hours. If they wish to revert to their normal Patron at that time, they may, or they may keep the new Patron permanently if they wish. Keeping this Patron will break any current spirit bond (Totem/Familiar) for this character. This effect takes place regardless of successful ritual completion.
Upon successful completion of this ritual, visit ST camp and ask for help creating your new Fetish. Fetishes created this way may only be used by characters with the Numina: Faith merit.
