Aportation
Example - Ritual Description: This ritual is a thaumaturgic form of aportation or summoning an item from a distant location to the caster's person. It was created by Zahira of Cairo, a Dur-An-Ki master who saw the potential of being able to enchant items with a bit of her identity so that those items were essentially one with her spiritually and materially. Thus the lesser principle of identity is primary to this enchantment.
The ritual begins with the caster sitting in the lotus position and holding the object in both hands. Then she begins a low meditative chant, and with each utterance, she inscribes a personal sigil upon the item and passes it through the smoke of smoldering incense. With the final repetition, the blood sigils are absorbed by the item, giving it a faintly rosy hue when viewed in bright lights.
Example of System: The player makes an Intelligence + Rituals roll at a difficulty of four (4) and expends a temporary willpower point. A single success is all that is required to enchant the item properly. The effects of the ritual lay dormant until a preordained command word is spoken by the caster, at which point the item dissolves into smoke and reappears in the caster's hand. The ritual's enchantment is now consumed, as is the willpower and blood used in the casting, though the item can be enchanted again at a later date. The caster can have as many items enchanted with this ritual equal to her permanent willpower rating. The sigils are undetectable without the aid of sorcery, but the item will smell faintly of vampire blood and incense and only animals or supernaturals will be able to detect it as such.
Old Ritual Description: Caster needs to inscribe Runes into the Object. Runes must be imbued with pure Silver (with either thread, or powder, or some other method) Need to get a minimum of 5 successes at 8 on a Crafts roll. Once the Runes have been inscribed and the ritual has been cast, they “soak” into the item, and are no longer visible. Silver is lost on failure, and you need to redo the Crafts roll
Effect: At will the Caster can call the object to her, distance does not matter. This can only be used once, and then the ritual needs to be recast on the item.
Errata - This is a pass/fail? What tools are used to inscribe the rune? In converstion the rune was destroyable, does that mean you can see it? How many can you have active at any point?
An interesting writeup, Bruce, but this ritual pre-dates Kate's foray into Dur'An'Ki. It is Tremere Thaumaturgy. -Jamie
