Harai
(Level-Two Crúac Ritual)
The target of the ritual, who must be a mortal (not a ghoul, vampire or other supernatural creature) from whom the Kindred has drunk since sunset the previous night, is mystically cleansed of his Impurity. There are several forms of this ritual, almost identical in performance, but each applying to a different form of Impurity, and having slightly different wording in the prayer. In all cases, the ritual grants the target peace of mind.
The ritual can only be used once on a given source of Impurity, and only once per night on a given target. Harai cannot be used if the Kindred has spent all of the Vitae he drew from the target.
Injury: The target heals two points of bashing damage or one point of lethal damage per success on the ritual.
Disease: The target gets an additional roll to overcome the disease, with a number of bonus dice equal to the number of successes on the ritual.
Crime: The target may roll again to avoid Morality loss. If the re-roll is successful, the Morality point is regained. (This has no effect if the target did not lose Morality.) Successes on the ritual roll do not grant any bonus to this roll.
Other forms of the ritual may well exist where some Amanotsukai has wandered far both physically and philosophically.
If the Crúac ritual is performed, the offered blood is consumed in magical fire, leaving no remnant. The ritual automatically fails if the flames provoke a frenzy in the ritualist, regardless of the number of successes gained on the Crúac roll.
Some Amanotsukai perform the Crúac version of the ritual even if they have killed the target. They claim that it helps purify the soul of the victim, but there is no evidence for that.
