	This ritual allows the caster to summon Barliagus. Barliagus does not like to appear in person, so it is very likely that it will attack the caster unless the Infernalist has something to offer it.

	This ritual transfers the Infernalist's soul, Mental Attributes, Charisma, Manipulation and vampiric Disciplines into a new body. The body must be that of a freshly killed human. The old body crumbles to dust. This ritual requires a Stamina + Medicine roll (difficulty of the number of hours the new body has been dead). This ritual cannot be cast on a body that has been dead for more than 10 hours.

	The Infernalist with this power can draw souls out of the recently deceased with a successful Wits + Intimidation roll (difficulty of the soul's Willpower). The Infernalist cannot retain the souls, and drawing them out with this ritual destroys them while replenishing the Infernalist. Each soul thus absorbed gives the Infernalist five Blood Points and heals one wound. The Infernalist also receives a rush, stronger than any blood drinking could give. Souls go through complete agony during these few moments. They appear as vaporish clouds of swirling light wisping around the Infernalist, making terrible moaning sounds for the entire duration. The faces of the dead can be seen in the vapor.

	This extremely potent ritual may only be used against humans. The ritual causes a single victim to self-combust and burn to death in his own flames. The Infernalist must be able to see the victim and succeed in a Manipulation + Demon Lore roll (difficulty of the victim's Willpower). Every success causes a level of damage that may not be soaked.

This ritual wards only one object - if inscribed on the side of a car, the ward affects only that door or fender, not the whole car. Wards may be placed on weapons, even bullets, though this usually works best on small-caliber weapons. Bullets often warp upon firing, however, and for a ward to remain intact on a fired round, the player needs five successes on the Firearms roll.

	System: If the infernalist uses Felis Negrum on herself, she can change back into a vampire at will. If used on a ghoul, the spell lasts only 24 hours. If used on another vampire, the spell lasts for 12 nights minus one per permanent point of Willpower the victim possessed at the time of the transformation. A target may resist the effects of Felis Negrum either consciously or subconsciously, by winning a resisted roll against the dark thaumaturge's Willpower. This ritual requires the caster to spend one blood point. The subject acquires all Traits - including Mental Attributes - of a cat for the duration of the transformation.
