Plant Venomous Bite
Level-Two Mérges Sorcery ritual
An Iltani may plant her venom within a snake, spider, insect, scorpion or other stinging or biting creature. Many Vipers make use of Plant Venomous Bite to attack their victims from a safe distance, or to store their poisons for future use.
An Iltani can produce a number of venom doses per day equal to her Blood Potency. Rather than using Venomous Bite to immediately deliver her poison, she may choose to plant some, or all, of her daily doses within living creatures. Only insects and animals that naturally have a poisonous bite or sting may be used in this ritual. Once the venom has been planted, an Iltani may use the Animalism Discipline to further instruct the host. A single creature can hold one dose of venom, and the poison remains useable within it for a number of nights equal to the Iltani’s Blood Potency + Mérges Sorcery, after which the creature dies. The poison begins to take effect once the victim has been stung or bitten. Immediately after the creature has delivered its venom, it crumbles to ash. Once poisoned, the victim receives the usual chance to resist (Stamina + Resolve – Toxicity Rating). If the victim’s resistance fails, the poison automatically takes effect. Poisons administered using Plant Venomous Bite may be compounded as described in Venomous Bite (above).
