Ward vs Cathayans
This ritual is similar to Ward Vs Ghouls, and provides the Kindred with some protection from their rivals. Since it requires a half-pint of Kuei-jin blood (one point of chi), the ritual is costly and not performed casually. The caster mixes the Cathayan blood with a small measure (one blood point) of his own before pouring it over the object in question or marking the borders of the affected area while reciting the appropriate incantation.
In the early-to-mid 21st century, almost all Tremere who know this ritual are veterans of the San Francisco chantry. The Tremere try limiting the Cathayans' potential exposure to anyone familiar with the ward.
