Feast of Blood

Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Ordo Dracul

Effect

This ritual multiplies the power of the vessel’s Vitae, so that several Kindred may slake their thirsts on a single victim. While the ritual is being performed, the ritualist recites an ancient Sumerian lyric describing a crop’s growth into bounty and fall into harvest. When the ritual is completed, a number of Kindred equal to the vessel’s Stamina can feed simultaneously upon the vessel as though each were the only one drinking from him. Each drinker receives an amount of Vitae equal to 10 plus the vessel’s Stamina. Thus, a vessel with Stamina 3 would provide 13 Vitae to as many as three different vampires. The magic of the ritual does not actually create Vitae, however; instead, it explodes the Vitae’s power within the body of the consuming Kindred. If only two Kindred were present to feed on the example victim above, they would each receive 13 Vitae and the third “seat at the table” would be wasted. Kindred unable to store all the Vitae they receive from the vessel do not benefit from the surplus — excess Vitae is wasted. The victim of this ritual is completely drained of blood by this ritual.
