Keening of the Banshee

Level 4.

The vampire makes a horrific sound so loud as to be deafening. The person closest to the vampire when this ritual is used suffers the full brunt of the assault. His hair turns white and he ages somewhere between 1 -10 years (if mortal). The ritual's effects are instantaneous. The material component for this ritual is a necklace bearing a pendant carved from an old tombstone. For obvious reasons, this ritual has little effect on Kindred, but Lupines are affected normally.
