Essence of Rom
This ritual is Proposed at lvl 3
This ritual binds the caster to a family, for better or for worse. It means the caster will be subject to any family wide benifits, but also any family wide curses. it does allow the vamipire to recognize a member of her family for protection.
System: the caster bonds her blood with that of a rom family. She gathers some of their blood, Nail (or bone), hair, and saliva. Each from a different member of the family (not the caster). Each sample must be from a different generation, child, mother, uncle father, or grandfather. All comers must be related for the ritual to work. The caster mixes all of these in a specially prepared urn made of iron, chanting as they commingle, under a full moon. Once complete the caster will become as if one of their blood. She will be a full family member and gain all benefits and drawbacks that are inherent. In addition she will gain a small awareness of the family, and know if a person is of her blood or not. This ritual is permanent as long as two things remain. First there has to be a living member of the family for the ritual to gain ahold of. And second the urn must remain intact with the components inside it. If either one of these is no longer true the ritual dissolves. (Note if any of the members who donate to the urn are related to the caster it will lower the difficulty of the ritual by one. This is not cumulative, so only one member need be related.)
