Level: 1st Level Comments: Nielson/NetRatings has issued a study showing that the top 10 social networking sites saw traffic grow 47% over the last year, with MySpace seeing the biggest growth (367% increase) and MSN Spaces (286%) seeing the biggest growth.

One thing to note about those numbers is that while Classmates had one of the lowest positive growth rates at 10%, they spend loads on advertising while MySpace, Youtube, and Facebook haven't spent a penny.

Level: 1st Level Comments: Time Required: 30 minutes Duration: until staff is broken Components: Any wooden staff, 1 blood point, 1 temporary willpower point
You enchant a wooden staff so that any supernatural power (including thaumaturgical effects) which normally have a range of 'touch' can be targetted by touching the target with the staff.
Your target cannot use their 'touch' powers through your staff to affect you unless they too have cast this ritual on that particular staff.

Level: 1st Level Comments: Time Required: 15 minutes Duration: Until use Components: Knowledge of Engaging the Vessel of Transference, an ice cube
Because too much people become blood bond to Daniel Kreisky, he decide to altered his basic ritual, Engaging the Vessel of Transference. After many years of research (and many blood bond by the side) he finally come to this advanced version of the ritual.
System:
Engaging the Vessel of Gio work exactly as Engaging the Vessel of Transference. You still need a bowl, or any thing that can contain blood (e.g. a small tube in the center of your hand, for handshakes !) You put a blood point in it (wich will be absorbed by the object) and the ice cube (for the chilling sensation). Then you perform the ceremonial text, wich end by Mundus vult decipi, ergo decepiatur (he world wants to be fooled, thus it is fooled)
Now, the item is enchanted. The first person who touch it will give a blood point, and then the ritual will end. The bad news is that the victim will not be blood bond to the caster, but the victim can't know what juste happens, the chilling sensation is dispelled. You can now take the item because the spell is no more. But you still can recast it at will.
Nota : You can just cast the ritual on a vial, wich is attached to a tube. Just change the vial aud the ritual continue... So you can have many vials with the rituals in your pocket and change it in 5 minutes. Juste make shure you don't touch it with your bare hands.

Level: 1st Level Comments: Time Required: 30 min Duration: 72 hours Components: a small cauldron, some spider's blood
With this ritual a Thaumaturgist can see the traces left by a mortal, a ghoul or another kindred. These traces are represented visually as bright color spots, the color being the respective color of the individual’s aura visible only to the vampire. In this way tracking of a subject can become much easier since these traces can be easily singled out even at places of concentrated activity such as a large building or even a much trodden avenue. For the ritual to take place the Thaumaturgist must posses the subjects secretions: seat, semen or any other bodily fluid. He then boils the secretion with a small amount of his own vitae and washes his eyes with the mixture while chanting the appropriate words. In order this ritual to work with another kindred as a subject, the subject must first be touched with the mixture, then add some vitae of his own in the mixture. That way for the duration of the ritual’s effects, the vampire secrets pheromones as a mortal would. That makes him subject to common investigation as well as his fingerprints stay on surfaces like a mortal’s would. This ability can be passed to another but then the other kindred must use his blood in the mixture and wash his eyes with it. The duration of the ritual is until the pheromones dissapear in the environment usually 72 hours after the ritual. While being able to see the traces of another the Thaumaturgist may not repeat the ritual.
System:
The investigator makes an investigation + perception roll :
1 success :The Investigator sees the traces faintly in empty spaces
2 successes: The investigator sees the traces in a room full of people
3 successes: The investigator can follow the traces in empty streets
4 successes: The investigator can follow the traces under normal conditions in streets with much traffic and circulation.
5 + successes: The investigator senses the traces even if they are accidentally or purposefully hidden from him.
If the subject realizes that he is leaving these traces he can make an attempt t conceal them. In this case an extended opposed check is made (the subject rolls intelligence + stealth). The target number of successes is 15. A botched attempt removes five successes from the total.

Level: 1st Level Comments: This is a Spirit Thaumathurgy Ritual that can only be used if that path is mastered. Ash Wednesday originated among the anti-tribu. Time Required: 60 min to prepare the ashes, 1 action to annoint on the forehead. Duration: Prepared ashes will last a year under good care. The annointing lasts until it is rubbed off, or 10 combat rounds. Components: Ashes from a burned Vampire.
This description is coupled with an ignoblis rite practiced in the Sabbat Pack
Hatred. A mortal is embraced, and given the creation rites. As soon
as he claws his way out of the ground, he is staked. The newly embraced mortal is brought back
to the communal haven, where he is made a honorary member of the pack (no vaulderie).
The newly embraced vampire is then thrown on a pyre and burned. During the "martyrdom", the
pack members participate in a ghost dance. The spirit thaumathurgist then collects the ashes and anchors the
soul of the vampire into the ashes through the use of this ritual. The collected ashes are saved, to
be "annointed" on the foreheads of the pack members before combat.
System:
When the ashes are annointed, the recipient gains the following abilities
for the duration:
1) the ability to do aggravated damage with his bare hands.
2) the ability to become incorporal for an action (but taking one health level of damage)
3) resistance to pain: unphased by pain until torpor.
The recipient's skin also turns a pale bluish-grey for the duration, and is
icy-cold to the touch.
Level: 1st Level Comments: Time Required: instantaneous Duration: permanent until cleaned up Components: 1 blood point
With a mere fingersnip, the caster can produce quite an amount of dirt of any kind within sight. Possibilities include ketchup, dust, dried mud, cut fingernails, or any combination of any kind of mundane dirt.
This ritual is commonly used to give an apprentice something to do when the caster thinks the individual has too much time.
System:
The stuff created is permanent and absonlutely real, however, it´s quite hard to clean it up. Upon casting, the caster may set up the time it will take to clean the "infected" place, from a minute to an hour, regardless of which method of cleaning is used. Using this ritual does not prevent the use of the ritual "donning the mask of shadows" nor does it prevent obfuscate. It can also be cast from the astral plane (auspex 5) if the caster also spends a point of willpower.

Time Required: 5 minutes Duration: Could be a while, could be a second (or -5 minutes, in one odd case Components: A sheet of plain paper
The ritual lets you perform another ritual (such as Chill of the windsabre....) right up intill the final word. The instead of this word, the holy incantation "And with some sticky backed plastic" must be chanted in a sweet, innocent voice. When this ritual is to be used, merely say "And heres one I made earlier!"
System:
This ritual is automatic to cast, however, due to the numerous problems, it takes about an hour to get ready. An, of course, the other ritual must be cast as well.

Level: 1st Level Comments: A ritual to make the casters blood have similar effects as lupine blood on other Kindred. Time Required: 20 minutes, including time to prepare the components. Duration: Until the next sunset (12-24 hours) Components: A scrap of wolf fur, a pint (1 bp) of the vampires own vitae, the bone of some predatory creature (a human murderer would work as well as a lions)
The vampire takes the scrap of fur, and ties it to the end of the bone. Then dipping it, stirring 3 times widdershins (counterclockwise) he draws it out, and scribes a pentacle on his forehead with the bloodsoaked fur. He then speaks the latin word for rage. The blood in the bowl bursts into flames, and the pentacle on his forehead dissapears. The fur also bursts into flame.
System:
The wizard enacts the movements of the ritual sucessfully by succeeding on a Int+Tha (or Occ, whichever is higher.) Any vampire or ghoul drinking of his blood must first make a Willpower roll (difficulty of the casters sucesses +4, to a maximum of 10.) to avoid going into a frenzy. If he does frenzy, he will most likely leave the prone ritualist alone, as long as he dosn't move. Otherwise, it duplicates the effects of lupine vitae, each point recuding the frenzy difficulty by 1.

This Ritual was Designed to allow research to be unhindered by Day time or need for rest. This rituals main use is to reduce research time.
System:
The ritual lasts one day for each blood trait the casting vampire spends. It allows research to be performed 24 hours a day. The ritual lasts until the vampire has finished their research, has taken damage or has reached the end of the number of days
set by the number of blood traits. The vampire is unaware of any surroundings other than thier research material. At the end of the ritual the vampire automatically looses all blood and enters a blood frenzy. It is a good idea to have a blood source re
ady.
