Deflection of Wooden Doom

Rituel de niveau Un de Thaumaturgy

Devil’s Touch

Rituel de niveau Un de Thaumaturgy

?

The victim of this ritual must be carrying the enchanted coin on his person somewhere, which might require the vampire’s player to succeed on a Dexterity + Larceny roll to plant it on him. In any case, once afflicted with the curse, the victim suffers a –4 penalty to all Social rolls for the remainder of the night. This also applies to any attempt to use the Status Merit. This ritual does not work on supernatural beings, though at the Storyteller’s discretion there might be a higher-level version that does.

Wake with Evening’s Freshness

Rituel de niveau Un de Thaumaturgy

Wake at the first sign of trouble

The thaumaturgist wakes automatically at the first sign of trouble during the day, and can ignore the Humanity roll to stay active (see p. 184 of Vampire: The Requiem) for two turns. The player must still spend one Vitae for the character to awaken.

Principal Focus of Vitae Infusion

Rituel de niveau Deux de Thaumaturgy

Store one normal Vitae in object

This ritual is similar to the level-one Theban Sorcery ritual Vitae Reliquary, but note the differences: The Thaumaturgy ritual can be used on smaller objects, it only holds one point of Vitae, and the blood is not “neutral” but can be used to create a Vinculum.

Ward vs. Ghouls

Rituel de niveau Deux de Thaumaturgy

Inflict lethal damage to ghoul that touches the object

Once cast, this spell inflicts three points of lethal damage on any ghoul that touches the object. A ward can be placed on a bullet or other missile, but the vampire must ward each bullet separately. If the bullet hits, add three successes to the roll. If the bullet misses, the effort is wasted.

Blood Contract

Rituel de niveau Cinq de Thaumaturgy

?

Enforcement of the contract is left to the Storyteller. If she wishes to be subtle about it, oath-breakers might suffer runs of horrible bad luck as long as they fail to uphold the contract (which might be represented by dice pool penalties). If she wishes to be more overt, demon hounds might manifest and rend the character’s undead flesh until he complies (use the dog statistics on p. 203 of the World of Darkness Rulebook).
