Shroud of Day
Revision as of 11:52, 15 April 2014 by Shadow Cat (talk | contribs)
Developed so the besieged Tlacique might move or otherwise make use of captured foes without their knowledge, Shroud of Day is cast upon a sharp wooden implement of sufficient size to stake a vampire. The ritual requires the sacrifice of two small animals, one nocturnal, one diurnal. Their blood is mixed with a single point of the caster's own vitae, and the stake is soaked in this mixture for two hours. The next vampire staked with that particular weapon is put to sleep (as though the sun was up) in addition to being paralyzed. This prevents the victim from seeing or hearing what is happening around him; he is not aware that the time has elapsed at all. This ritual does not grant any other special powers or qualities to the weapon.
