Eyes of the Dead
Description: The caster may see through the eyes (and hear through the ears) of a corpse. The body can have been dead any length of time if the caster wishes to see through its eyes (or sockets), but it must retain at least the inner mechanisms of its ears if the magician also wishes to hear. while chanting, the caster sheds a point of her own blood (for sight or hearing, two points to use both) over either a piece of anatomy taken from the corpse or a possession of great importance to the individual in life, such as a wedding ring or family heirloom. The magician must be able to see the corpse while casting, though it need not be close enough to touch. The ritual lasts for a number of nights equal to the necromancer's successes on her Intelligence + Occult roll, and she may switch back and forth from her own senses to those of the corpse at will. This ritual functions on corpses made animate through other uses of Necromancy (or other Disciplines), but the duration decreases to one scene per success. Eyes of the Dead does not require a complete corpse - only a relatively intact head is needed - but the difficulty of the ritual increases by 1 if a partial corpse is used.
