Stolen Kisses

Back to Level 4.

Thaumaturges cast this ritual when they do not wish to feed by mouth. Instead, Stolen Kisses allows them to drain small portions of vitae through other parts of a vessel's body. Some vampires prefer the strong handshake. Others enjoy choking vessels, a double pleasure of asphyxia and the flush of new vitae coursing through cold veins. Others "get off" by draining blood from a vessel during sex. In any case, a vessel is usually not immediately aware that blood is sucked out of his body, though he will experience a slight sensation of dizziness and light-headedness. This ritual requires the caster to carry a "witch's kiss" - a thistle steeped in the blood of a vampire - somewhere on her person.
System: The magus must first make a small incision on his body where he intends to make physical contact with a vessel. The ritual is then cast; once complete, the wound knits itself closed. However, it opens to create a lip-and-mouth-type orifice when continually pressed against a vessel's flesh, which mystically sucks out one blood point every other turn as long as contact persists. After the second point of vitae is consumed, a vessel is likely to feel woozy, while taking five blood points probably causes the victim to black out from the substantial lack of blood in his body. Stolen Kisses remains active for one night.
A Warlock does not cause ecstasy or rapture when taking blood in this manner, as he would were he to feed upon a vessel by mouth.
