Level 1.

Description: This ritual allows a vampire to preserve blood in a specially enchanted container. This ritual was very useful before refrigeration and it is still used heavily by nomadic Sabbat. The ritual requires a covered earthenware container large enough to contain the amount of blood the vampire wants to store.

Casting: The vampire prepares the container by burying it in the earth for two nights. The following night the container must be dug back up. The container is opened and the blood is poured in with a healthy sprinkling of burdock added. The caster recites a few incantations over the container before sealing it with wax.

System: The player rolls Intelligence + Rituals at a difficulty of five (5). This is obviously a pass or fail ritual, bu the original description doesn't say one way or the other. The container may be carried but, if broken, the blood will spoil at a normal rate. The container may be opened at any time, but may not be resealed containing the same blood. The earthenware container itself can be used again, but the entire ritual must be reenacted.
