Drink the Resounding Blood

Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Ordo Dracul

Effect

This ritual distills the spiritual resonance of the Wyrm’s Nest into the vessel’s Vitae. As the ritual is performed, the vessel’s mouth is stuffed with material from the site, such as grass, dirt or shavings of linoleum. When the ritual is complete, the vessel’s Vitae is infused with emotional resonance. The vessel’s Vitae retains this quality for the rest of the scene, unless it is consumed by a vampire, in which case it retains its resonance until spent. The vessel does not have to be completely drained for its blood to retain its enhanced property.
Kindred with the blood of the vessel in their bodies have a minor spiritual resonance. As long as this Vitae remains in the vampire’s system, she gains a +2 bonus on all dice pools for actions that correspond with her resonance. A vampire with a resonance of “fear” might gain the bonus on Intimidation dice pools and on activation rolls for Nightmare powers, for example. The Storyteller decides what actions are suited to the vampire’s resonance.
