Rites of the Blood (V20)
 |
In the deepest crimson depths of their being¸ raw power waits to be brought to the surface. Through their force of will¸ Kindred can drag this power kicking and screaming into the open to perform miraculous feats and twisted blasphemies. These rituals have been developed to direct and focus this new force¸ unconstrained by the structure of the known Disciplines. As such¸ only one word has been seen fit to describe this power that has echoed throughout the ages. Magic.
"Rites of the Blood is a collection of rituals practiced among the various Kindred sects and Clans. This isn't just a collection of powers¸ but an examination of the sects themselves and how they use their eldritch mystical arts: the Thaumaturgy of the Camarilla Tremere¸ the bloody rites and patchwork sorcery of the Sabbat¸ the creepy and alien practices of the Tal'Mahe'Ra¸ 'street' rituals from the Anarch contingent¸ the sorceries of the Assamites and Setites¸ the necromancy of the Giovanni¸ and even some of the mysterious ways of the Inconnu.
