Serenading the Kami

Level 1.

Through invocations and smudging with incense, the ritualist gains the temporary support of spirits known as kami, "highly placed beings" that are found in all things. Developed by a traditional Japanese Kindred to aid in a duel, this ritual is used prior to a major feat of strength. The thaumaturge must burn a stick of incense to invoke this ritual.

System: This half-hour ritual allows the thaumaturge to reduce the difficulty of any single physical action by two immediately following the completion of the ritual. This may be and extended action such as digging a ditch, or it may be as brief as guiding a deadly blow.
