Back to Level 6.

Rumors tell of elder vampires requiring the blood of Cainites to sustain their unlives. Even the great fear of Gehenna is based upon the belief that the Antediluvians will one night rise up and consume the blood of all Kindred. This powerful magic makes this Kindred vitae a necessity for a Cainite target; even thin-blooded neonates can be affected. Unable to draw true sustenance from mortals, the Kindred turns to hunting his own kind. Such an effect is almost certainly a death sentence for most vampires.
System: Preparation for this ritual takes three nights and requires five blood points worth of blood from both the victim and from the thaumaturge. Non-Kindred blood is worth only one-third its normal amount (round down) to those inflicted with this curse. This ritual is normally permanent, but the thaumaturge can cancel its power by a reverse incantation requiring an additional five blood from the victim and the sacrifice of a normal mortal.
