Prepare your necromantic foci.

Place the mask and set up your paint and painting tools in front of you. Pantomime mixing a measure of your blood into the paints. Spend 5 blood. Then, speak the following incantation over the materials:

“Corpse switches kind,<br>
Blood becomes Passion,<br>
Truth hides behind,<br>
This mask I Fashion.”

Use the blood and paint mixture to decorate the mask; either pantomime (if using a pre-designed mas) or actually paint/ draw on a mask. As you create your mask, consider Wraiths and what sort of personality want to portray. Once you are satisfied with the decorations, speak the following incantation over the mask:

“With fresh paint I go,<br>
Where colors all fade,<br>
Into the shadow;<br>
a new Masquerade.”

Put on the mask, activating the ritual effect. 

'''EFFECTS'''<br>
As soon as the mask is equipped, also equip a white headband and enter the Umbra. For the next 4 hours or until you remove the mask, your native realm becomes the Umbra, and you gain the following powers: {{PowerTip|Impostor}}: Wraith, {{PowerTip|Convert Pathos}}, and {{PowerTip|Immunity}}: Frenzy. For the duration, you lose vulnerability to sunlight as well as the following Vampire Built-ins powers: Initiate {{PowerTip|Blood Bond}}, {{PowerTip|Blood Healing}}, {{PowerTip|Blood Feeding}}, {{PowerTip|The Kiss}}, {{PowerTip|Diablerie}}, and {{PowerTip|Enrage}}.

This mask counts as a ‘Mask’ power. Due to the nature of Mask powers, you are not recognizable as your character for the duration of the ritual, though iconic clothes or personality may give you away.

When the mask is removed or the duration expires, the effect ends and the mask breaks.

If you are interrupted while painting, or fail to equip mask within a minute of completing the final incantation, the ritual fails.
