Infuse the Focus with Lifeblood (3)

Requirements: Thaumaturgy, Rituals equal to the level of the fetish you wish to create
Cost: per level of fetish: 1 BP during casting, 1 vial unique blood*, 1 max BP from receipt of tag until EOG
Cast Time: 7 minutes
Notes: intended fetish object, pen & paper, prop candle, bowl, vials
Purpose: Allows the binding of a power into an object.

On the back of a 3x5 card, detail the fetish: Name, level, power, target, cost, duration, and cooldown (if any). On the front write the caster name.

Create a Thaumaturgy ritual circle appropriate to the proposed Fetish level. Place the object to become the Fetish into the center of the circle, with the card under it. Light the candle and place it next to the fetish object. Place the bowl on the other side of the fetish object. Place the vials of blood in the bowl.

On the paper draw a sigil representing the power you wish to imbue into the object. Incant “By the power of blood I will it be, that this power come to me."

Empty the vials of blood into the bowl. Incant with each vial "Into this blood the power go, by the power of blood I will it so.”

Pantomime lighting the sigil on fire with the candle, and place the sigil paper into the bowl of blood while saying again: “With the power of blood I will it be, that this power come to me. Into this object the power go, by the power of blood I will it so.”

Touch the fetish object in the center of the circle, and spend the designated blood cost. Roleplay the effects of receiving the power, such as being damaged, being under the status effect, being healed, etc. (no actual damage taken or healed) for 60 seconds.

The card should be placed in the checkout box and the caster will receive a tag for the fetish item at the beginning of the next game; the fetish enters game attuned to the caster. When caster receives the fetish tag, their maximum blood pool is reduced by level of fetish until end of game - if this cost would drop the caster's blood pool below 0, the ritual fails. Creating a fetish not available through the ItemMaker requires ST approval. Attempting to proceed without ST pre-approval may cause the ritual to fail.

  • Unique blood is defined as per character type, such as Mortal, Werewolf, Fera, etc. Caster may not use their own blood.

Please Note: All references to flame, fire, candles, weapons, animals, birds, damage, magical components, or small children refers only to the LARP representations thereof and in no way endorses the use of the actual object, item, animal, or person referenced.
