Dismembering the God
The Setite removes from a canopic jar a tissue sample taken from the chosen victim; the sample must have steeped in the urine of a jackal, hyena or other scavenging predator for at least 24 hours. She brews an unguent in which the tissue sample, vitae and papyrus are ingredients, then covers her genitals with this unguent. The Setite completes the ritual by coming into skin contact with the victim before the next sunrise.
The victim may resist the ritual on a Willpower roll (difficulty 9) if he accumulates more successes than the Setite had on the ritual roll. If the ritual succeeds, the victim loses both a number of Willpower points and a number of blood points equal to twice the caster’s number of successes. Further, the victim can’t refresh either pool for one night. Note that a significant blood loss (3 or more points) may very well kill a mortal, or at least require medical attention.
