Abyssal Reflection
This ritual allows the kiasyd to create a mystical mirror that reveals a target’s true nature or deepest hidden secret. By gazing into the enchanted mirror, the subject’s reflection betrays aspects of their soul that they may not wish to reveal.
System: The caster must prepare the mirror by mixing their Vitae, mercury(quicksilver), and blackened glass shards, arranged in a precise lunar pattern. This process takes one hour, after which the mixture is poured onto a mirror. The mirror becomes enchanted for a single use. Once completed, the ritual mirror can be presented to a target. When the target looks into the mirror, they must make a Willpower roll (Difficulty 8). If they fail, their reflection reveals a hidden aspect of their true self—a deep secret, a suppressed emotion, or their true nature. The caster can perceive this revelation, though it may be metaphorical or abstract.
The mirror shatters immediately after use, leaving only shards of glass behind.
Side Effect: After using the mirror, the caster experiences vivid, disturbing nightmares for three consecutive nights. These nightmares are often tied to the secrets revealed through the mirror, leaving the caster feeling restless and uneasy.
