This Ritual allows the caster to ensorcel a bladed weapon to steal blood from its victims, storing it for later consumption or other uses by the ritualist.
Ingredients: A dagger carved from a human bone and three Rouse checks worth of the caster’s Blood
Process: The caster must submerge the bone dagger in a pool of his own Blood for one hour.
System: Once the Ritual is complete, any time the bladed Melee weapon successfully strikes an enemy, the blade consumes enough blood to raise the victim’s Hunger by one. The blood consumed is magically preserved inside the weapon.
A Blade of Eternal Thirst can store enough blood to Slake up to three Hunger, which will retain all supernatural properties. By spending a simple action while wielding the weapon, the caster can feed from the stored blood, lowering his Hunger by one (to the minimum allowed by his Blood Potency without draining a human). However, the caster is subject to any effects the blood has, such as drugs, toxins, or powers such as Cobra’s Favor. You may force the blood out of the blade to and into a container if so desired by spending a standard action.
You may only create one Blade of Eternal Thirst. If you create another, the previous one is destroyed along with any blood it contains. Only the creator of a given Blade can utilize its benefits. A Blade of Eternal Thirst remains enchanted for one month, but, each month after its creation, you may soak it in one Rouse check’s worth of Blood to extend its enchantment by another 30 days. If a Blade of Eternal Thirst loses its enchantment for any reason, or the weapon is broken, any blood stored within it is destroyed and cannot be recovered.
Duration: Thirty days or until destroyed
