Transubstantiation of Humors
This insidious ritual serves as a cunning defense against diablerie. Until the next sunset, any blood drawn from the thaumaturge's veins mystically transmutes into black bile. Anyone attempting to consume this unpalatable ichor suffers intense nausea.
System: The caster prepares and drinks a foul concoction of clotted blood and snake venom. If the ritual succeeds, the caster's vitae changes into black bile whenever it leaves her body. Victims who drink this sludge or eat a gobbet of the sorcerer's bilious flesh must make a Stamina roll (difficulty 7 + the number of blood points or health levels ingested). Failure indicates the character spends a full tu8rn vomiting the tainted humors. This roll must be made each turn until the character purges his system of the bile. Vampires whose players botch this roll also vomit a number of extra blood points equal to the 1s rolled. Obviously, thaumaturges cannot grant the Embrace, create ghouls, nourish other vampires, establish the blood oath or perform any other feat that requires actual blood taken from their veins while employing this ritual. Blood may be used for internal purposes such as healing or powering Disciplines. Characters using this ritual smell faintly of bile, increasing the difficulty of applicable Social rolls by one.
