Ritual:Burning Blade

Burning Blade (2)

Requirements:	Thaumaturgy, Rituals 2
Components:	A candle, a red ribbon long enough to tie around a weapon, something to mark the ribbon with
Target:	A weapon
Cost:	1 blood
Cast Time:	3 minutes

Create a level 2 Thaumaturgy Circle.

Sit in one half of the circle, with the candle and weapon in the other half.

Recite the following:

"Let my blood and my will conspire
to set the edge of my blade to fire."

Mark the ribbon with iconography of fire.

Pantomime cutting yourself and allowing your blood to spill onto the ribbon.

Spend one blood.

On a white 3x5 card, write the following:

Ritual: Burning Blade
Caster: (Your name)
Begin Time: (Current time and date)
Duration: 24 hours or until its effect is used.
Effect: At any time, you may call out "En Fuego!" and tie the ribbon around any weapon you are holding. This grants you the ability to use Burning Blade, No Cost, Self, 10 minutes once. The ritual then expires.

Writing the 3x5 card is part of casting the ritual, and it should not be made in advance. Carry the 3x5 with you while the ritual is in effect. This ritual will end immediately if you do not carry the ribbon focus on your person.
