Allah's Blessing

Sihr

This ritual allows the caster to reinforce a subject's faith, allowing them to enter the holy places of Islam. The ritual involves vocal prayer by both caster and subject, confirming their faith and devotion to Allah. Any lapse of concentration by either participant during this period causes the ritual to fail. If successful, the ritual remains in effect until the next dawn, allowing the subject to freely enter buildings with high True Faith ratings (see page 183). Only a few Hajj - most notably Tarique al-Hajji and Mazen ibn Tarique - know this ritual, and they guard its use jealously. They use it to grant access to the holiest sights to those who have proven their faith.
System: The ritual takes four hours to enact, during each of which both players must make a Willpower roll against a difficulty of 6. If any one of these rolls fails, the ritual is not completed and cannot be attempted again until the next night. If all eight Willpower rolls succeed, the caster's player rolls Intelligence + Theology against a difficulty equal to 10 - the target's Willpower. Success indicates Allah grants the blessing and the Ashirra may enter the holy place unhindered. Failure indicates the normal True Faith and Keening rules apply. Of course, Storytellers may wish to keep the exact result of this last roll hidden from the players.
