Description: By chanting and soaking a fine burial shroud in her own vitae, a Cainite may enchant the cloth with a measure of her own immortality. This cloth can then be placed over a corpse to suspend decomposition. Rumors persist of powerful Cappadocians with huge underground caverns filled to bursting with human corpses, all carefully preserved against a time when the Graverobber will need to retreat from the world for hundreds of years.
System: The player spends 3 blood points in addition to making the standard roll. If the ritual succeeds, the shroud retains a faint red hue long after the blood dries and flakes away. Placed over a corpse, the shroud suspends all decay. The body remains indefinitely frozen in time as surely as a vampire. Once the shroud is removed, time affects the cadaver normally and the shroud loses its magic. This ritual is often used to keep a well stocked larder of food and fresh material for experimentation.
