Ritual Variation: Mononoke
(Level-Two Crúac Ritual)
This ritual is identical in its mechanics and effects to Cheval (see Vampire: The Requiem, p. 143). The ritualist need not be able to see the target when activating the ritual, but must have at least one Vitae from the target in his system.
The ritualist writes a symbolic name for the target in Vitae on a strip of paper. This may be the target’s actual name, or something that strikes the ritualist as appropriate. He then prays over the paper, and hangs it beside the mirror in a shrine. The name fades over the duration of the ritual, so that when it finishes, the paper is blank. If the paper is removed from the shrine, the effect of the ritual ends immediately.
