Like many cultures, the ancient Egyptians believed that a picture captured the magical essence of what it portrayed. This Akhu ritual exploits that magical connection. The magician sketches a portrait of her subject from life (or unlife, as the case may be). She then engraves that picture into a stone tablet along with various magic words and the subject's name in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Henceforth, the sorcerer can use the portrait as a sympathetic link to that person. The magician adds the portrait plaque to any other ritual and washes it in beer and her own vitae. That ritual may now affect the subject at any distance.
System: Enchanting the portrait costs the magician two points of Willpower. Using it costs one blood point. Engraving the portrait requires a Dexterity + Crafts roll (difficulty 6) in addition to the normal Intelligence + Rituals roll to make it work.
