This allows the ritualist to cause the blood vessels of a character who has been exposed to her Blood that night to rupture from afar.

Ingredients: A Ritual dagger inlaid with gold leaf

Process: Before enacting this Ritual, the intended target must be exposed to some of the caster’s Blood during the same night this Ritual is cast. This is easiest to accomplish by successfully affecting the intended target with the effects of either Scorpion’s Touch or Baal’s Caress. The caster may also unnoticeably touch the bare skin of their target by making a Dexterity + Larceny check vs. the target’s Wits + Awareness. If successful, the target doesn’t notice being touched and the caster is able to smear a minuscule amount of Blood on her. The same check can be utilized to disguise the transfer of blood even if the touching was obvious such as from a handshake. If the caster fails this challenge, her target notices the attempt to transfer blood in time to prevent it.  Once the target has been exposed to the caster’s Blood (even if the Blood is removed), the caster can cast this Ritual by plunging the ceremonial dagger into her own body and concentrating on her target for five minutes.

Challenge Pool: Resolve + Occult vs. Stamina + Resolve

System: After five minutes of concentration, at any time during the remainder of the night that the Ritual was cast, the ritualist may spend a Standard action to make a contested challenge against his target. He may repeat this action once a turn for a number of turns equal to his dots in the Occult Skill. These turns do not have to happen immediately and consecutively. Each successful challenge inflicts one Normal Damage to a vampire and one Aggravated Damage to a mortal or ghoul. A character can only be affected by one casting of Dagon’s Call per night.

Duration: One night
