History: Curaferrum, the Castellan of Ceoris devised this ritual to alert him to signs of disorder in his chantry. The castellan used this strategically by placing dust on certain doors to know when unwanted intrusions occurred. He also sometimes made petty use of it. He would place the dust in linen closets to catch out the mortal servants, or on a tapestry depicting Etrius, to see who had been splattering it with paint.
Description: To perform this ritual, the thaumaturge severs one of her fingers, allowing it to crumble to corpse-dust as she grows a new one. She combines the dust with Myrrh, wine dregs, silver powder and salt extracted from the tears of a child, allows the mixture to dry and then performs a series of incantations. The result is several drams of whitish powder. The thaumaturge sprinkles the powder on an object of interest to her. If the object is moved while she is not in its presence, the thaumaturge feels a sharp pain in her regrown finger.
System: The ritualist may sprinkle the dust on up to twenty objects during the ritual. She can tell which of them is being interfered with, if the player passes an Intelligence + Occult roll. The connection with prepared objects lasts for one lunar month per success on the ritual roll.
