Shiva's Tattoo Rituals

Basic

Casting Time: 30 minutes

Requirements: 1 trait of Kindred blood. Tattoo Craft ability.

During this ritual, a tattoo placed upon target's body just like a normal tattoo. The tattoo must be performed by the caster and requires a test for crafts: tattoo as well as occult (both vs. 6 traits). The recipient of the tattoo must be voluntary if of magical nature. On magical creatures the tattoo and all effects will dissappear over a period of time, permanent on non-magical creatures.

During the ritual the caster decides what effect he/she would like the tattoo to have. This intended effect doesn't have to be possible (though characters with Occult may make a test to see if it is possible).

The effects of the tattoo are random and not more powerful than any basic ritual and are totally at Storyteller discretion. No secondary effects should continue to be present after 3 months.
