Purify Another's Flesh
Level 2 Thaumaturgy, based on purely Hermetic Principles.
This ritual works exactly as Purity of Flesh, except that it is cast by a Thaumaturge upon another character. The caster must stand in the direction of magnetic north from the circle, and perform the chant while the subject remains at the center of the circle.
- Purity of Flesh, quoted.
- The caster cleanses her body of all foreign material with this ritual. To perform it, she meditates on bare earth or stone while surrounded by a circle of 13 sharp stones. Over the course of the ritual, the caster is slowly purged of all physical impurities: dirt, alcohol, drugs, poison, bullets lodged in the flesh and tattoo ink are all equally affected, slowly rising to the surface of the caster's skin and flaking away as a gritty gray film that settles within the circle. Any jewelry, makeup or clothes that the caster is wearing are also dissolved.
- System: The player spends one blood point before rolling. Purity of Flesh removes all physical items from the caster's body, but does not remove enchantments, mind control or diseases of the blood.
This is the first ritual I ever created.
Reply: Fantastic, but doesn't it deserve a bit more detail? - Bruce (06/01/12) The description relies on that in Purity of Flesh. Only the changes are outlined here.
