Unearth the Hidden Corpse

Level II Rituals

Description: After tying a human finger bone to a blood-soaked leather thong, a vampire who knows this ritual may speak the name of a deceased individual. If the ritual succeeds, the bone becomes as a lodestone, pointing infallibly to the spot where the greatest quantity of the target’s physical remains lie. If no such place exists, such as in the case of someone who was cremated and her ashes scattered, the bone simply twirls in place aimlessly. As many nigrimancy powers function more effectively if a vampire has part of the ghost’s corpse in addition to her name, this ritual sees frequent use among the Giovanni.

System: This ritual functions exactly as described above. Failure has no effect, while a botch shatters the bone.
