Fire in the Blood

Level 3.

This ritual allows the vampire to cause the victim's body to become extremely warm. The victim can feel the heat from her blood as it passes through her body. The effects of this ritual are extremely painful. The heat starts slowly, but as the victim becomes more and more active, the blood becomes hotter and hotter. The victim suffers an aggravated wound every time she does something which involves rolling a Physical Attribute, unless she can make a simple roll using Wits + Medicine (difficulty 7) in order to calm down enough for the blood to cool. The victim is thus forced to remain inactive or face extreme pain and injury. No material components are required for this ritual.
