Bottled Voice

Level 4.

The Thaumaturgist draws out an individual's ability to make any sound with the voice. The victim remains mute for as long as the vampire has the voice in his possession. The voice is removed with a verbal incantation and forced into a bottle with somatic signs. The bottle must then have a wax seal placed upon it. The victim is then unable to speak, but otherwise unaffected. The vampire employing this ritual can keep the victim's voice as long as the seal and the bottle itself remain unbroken.
