This Ceremony allows the Oblivion user to snuff out small fires and deaden himself to the effects of Terror Frenzy.

Ingredients: A one-foot cube of ice 

Process: The necromancer must first open her rib cage and expose her heart, causing one point of Aggravated Damage to herself in the process. She must then lie upon bare earth with the cube of ice on her chest and let it melt. Her heart slowly becomes encased in ice over the next 15 minutes. She must then Rouse the Blood to keep it from freezing solid. 

System: A necromancer benefitting from Chill of the Oblivion adds +2 to her pools to resist Terror Frenzy when caused by the presence of fire. She can also make a Rouse check and use her standard action to extinguish an area of fire, up to 250 cubic feet (roughly the size of a medium closet) within five steps of her, by exhaling a visible cloud of freezing air. This requires no challenge. 

While under the effects of Chill of Oblivion, she draws in heat from her immediate environment, making others noticeably and unnaturally cold while within one step of her. In addition, the taint of the dead makes her an easy target for malevolent wraiths who receive a +1 bonus to their test pools when targeting an individual affected by this Ceremony.

Duration: Until dawn
