Back to Level 7.

This three-night ritual creates an ensorcelled weapon made of bone or ivory. The thaumaturge must carve the weapon himself and then bathe it in the lifeblood of a year-old fledgling each night. All of the blood is absorbed into the weapon and cannot be used for any other purposes. The third "contributor" must be the caster's own childe. The enchanted weapon becomes a powerful tool, able to sever flesh and even bone with ease, draining the strength of those it injures. It is nearly impossible to destroy this weapon.
System: All damage done by this bone-weapon is aggravated. In addition, for each level of damage it does, the weapon "drinks" a point of the victim's blood. The weapon can be destroyed only if it absorbs 20 points of blood from a single victim and is immediately incinerated. Any weapon that can be carved from ivory or bone may be used in this ritual, and does damage per that weapon type - Storytellers, beware of players who would carve bone claymores.
