Level 3.

This insidious power requires some personal possession of the subject's to be burned when the ritual is enacted. As the object burns, the subject is immediately overcome with a feeling of Rotschreck, regardless of where he is, what he's doing or even whether or not any flame is present. Clever anarchs have used this power to spite rivals, break the spirits of enemies and even humiliate princes by forcing them to act irrationally before the Kindred of their domains.

System: Upon this ritual's completion, the subject is immediately gripped by Rotschreck, and he must check to see if he enters the fear frenzy as per page 229 of Vampire: The Masquerade (difficulty 6). This fear may be overcome by spending a Willpower point, as well. If the character fails the Courage roll, he immediately flees the vicinity in terror, although terror of what eludes the character. For this reason, the Rotschreck doesn't last as long as the read fear normally does. When the character thinks to ask himself what he's afraid of, the effect ends. Usually, however, this is too late to prevent the shock and incredulity of any company the Kindred was keeping at the time.

It takes 30 minutes to perform this ritual.
