This ritual is suggested, but not written up, in The Shadow of Hands That Serve. It follows the same rules for casting, except that they require three blood points to manifest.

A single caster cannot have more shadow creatures summoned with The Shadow of Hands that Serve and/or The Heart That Beats in Silence than her Occult rating.

HEART OF SILENCE
Attributes: Strength 2, Dexterity 5, Stamina 1, Charisma 1, Manipulation 3, Appearance 0, Perception 3, Intelligence 2, Wits 3
Abilities: Alertness 3, Athletics 3, Brawl 3, Dodge 3, Intimidation 2, Stealth 5 (In Shadows +1)
Disciplines: Obtenebration 3
Willpower: 5, Health Levels: 5

Other Notes: Hearts of Silence may freely invoke their Obtenebration without spending blood, although they must spend Willpower in place of blood to enhance a power (such as lengthening a tentacle grown with Arms of Ahriman). They can fly at 30 yards per turn and are always assumed to be in shadow form as per Tenebrous Avatar (Dark Ages: Vampire, p. 200). They suffer no wound penalties, but the touch of fire or sunlight instantly destroys these creatures. Communicating with a material being requires contact and a successful Wits roll. Each success transfers one set of related images or one emotion directly into the target’s psyche.
