More commonly called the Curse of the Jade Turkey, this Ceremony levies a wasting disease on its target.

Ingredients: A dagger made of obsidian or flint, a clay pot of rotting fruit, and an item personal to the target victim

Process: The necromancer cuts themselves, forcing a Rouse check worth of blood over the rotting fruit. The resulting mixture is mashed together into paste, which is used to coat the personal item of a target character. The personal item is then buried at least one foot below ground in natural earth.

System: Once targeted by this Ceremony, the target makes a static test using her Stamina + Resolve with a difficulty equal to Resolve + Occult. If the target fails this challenge, she takes one point of aggravated damage as her flesh rots and falls off in clumps. Repeat this process once per hour until the target either succeeds in a challenge (indicating her body has finally resisted the disease), dies, or she falls into torpor. Until the disease has been resisted, the victim appears grotesque and sickly to onlookers. 

Living characters can die from this Ceremony, but vampires stop taking damage from this power once they fall into torpor. If a vampire voluntarily enters torpor before running out of health levels, this ritual  continues to eat away at her flesh until she runs out of health levels. The personal item used in this ritual is destroyed once the disease is resisted.

Duration: Until resisted
