Incorporeal Passage

From The World Is A Vampire

Level 3.

Use of this ritual allows the thaumaturge to make herself insubstantial. The caster becomes completely immaterial and thus is able to walk through walls, pass through closed doors, escape manacles, etc. The caster also becomes invulnerable to physical attacks for the duration of the ritual. The caster must follow a straight path through any physical objects, and may not draw back. Thus, a Kindred may walk through a solid wall, but may not walk down through the earth (as it would be impossible to reach the other side before the ritual lapsed.) This ritual requires that the caster carry a shard from a shattered mirror to hold her image as she moves insubstantially.

System: This ritual lasts a number of hours equal to the number of successes scored on a Wits + Survival roll (difficulty 6). The thaumaturge may prematurely end the ritual (and, thus, her incorporeality) by turning the mirror shard away so that it no longer reflects her image.

Errata: (Based on previous rulings) This ritual is not ended by darkness, Obtenebration, other effects that would obscure the mirror. If the mirror remains pointed toward the caster's face, the ritual remains in effect. Otherwise, it would lapse as soon as the caster entered a solid object that blocked light.
