Setite Sorcery

Level 2

• Milk of Set

The Milk of Set is said to attract spirits of chaos and confusion. This Ritual concocts a salve from the Vitae of a Setite Vampire swprn to the Lord of Chaos offered in addition to the rituals basic cost, oil, animal- or sometimes human fat and certain herbs sympathetic to the desired effect. The Milk of Set is applied to an object that becomes cursed by it for a brief time. Each additional Vitae spent in addition to the one to activate the ritual produces one batch of salve of the desired effect. Any Vitae must be invested before the casting roll of the ritual is made. The ritual cannot create more batches of salve than successes were rolled, even if more Vitae was spent. The excess Vitae is lost. All batches made in one ritual casting must be of the same effect. Possible effects include: Altering a lock, so that it does not accept its regular key, or altering a computer so that it does not accept its regular password; Make an automaton refuse cash or credit cards; Corrode the Durability of an object by one point; Corrupt data recorded on any kind of media; Making a drug more addictive (-1 additional penalty when resisting addiction).

• Prepare Canopic Jars

The Setite takes bodily tissue or sympathetic replacements once in the possession of the desired victim and places them in four canopic jars used in ancient egyptian funeral practices. These jars correspond to the four cardinal directions. The south or north jar represent the stomach and guts of the target. Bits of a half-eaten meal may work as a substitude for original tissue. The east jar is meant for the targets heart and lungs. Heart pills or asthma inhalers, breath mints or a small measure of the targets blood work as acceptible substitutes. The western jar is reserved for the targets liver or gall bladder. Drugs or alcohol once in the posession of the target may be used as replacements. The setite then performs an inverted ritual designed to ensure speedy passage to the lands of the dead, cursing the fate of the target. Each success on the rituals casting roll imposes a -2 penalty one one specific instant or extended action roll of the target within the next 24 hours.
