Should the mystic botch the ritual, then he or she gains the Darksight flaw for a scene for each botch rolled; only through a catastrophic botch (three or more botched dice) can the flaw become permanent and then only if the mystic should slumber for the day or enter torpor. A failure means the Cainite fails to comprehend the lesson and must try again, although at a higher level of difficulty which gradually increases with each failure. Each success equates to a specific period of time during which the mystic can at will, reverse his sight requirements and see through darkness rather than light.
