Cloak of Blood(Diablerie Britain pg. 9)
Time Required: Two nights less than the total number Blood Traits that the ritualist possesses.
Duration: Variable - see below.
Components: An innocent mortal's blood.
Availability: Rogue
Prerequisites: Thaumaturgy: Primary Path - Basic
Ability: Occult - 1.
Many licks would give much for a way to conceal the black stains left on their auras by diablerie. Fortunately, there is a ritual to accomplish this effect: the Cloak of Blood.
Mechanics: Before this ritual's casting, the Diabolist must fast until she has only two remaining Blood Traits in her system, minimally fasting for three nights. During this time the Diabolist must not drink any blood, for the Diabolist's heart must be cleansed of tainted vitae. After the (last) night, the Diabolist inscribes a rune on her chest; in her own blood (the Diabolist or another may perform the actual ritual).
Then the Diabolist must take blood from an innocent mortal. The blood must be freely given and not taken through violence, force or coercion. Deception is the usual method. This can be very difficult, for the Diabolist is extremely low on blood at this point and is likely to go into frenzy, drinking her fill by force rather than guile. Depending upon how the aforementioned is accomplished, the use of this ritual itself often causes Humanity loss, as the deception and possible death of an innocent are always involved.
Once the vampire drinks the mortal s blood, the black lines in the Diabolist's aura are hidden for a number of nights equal to... the number of successes the Thaumaturgest wins in an Extended Challenge, minimally one night. Needless to say, if diablerie is committed after the ritual is cast, all benefits are lost and the black lines are more visible than ever. Also, if any Blood Points are spent prematurely (to heal or to enhance attributes), the duration of the concealment of Diablerie will be reduced by one evening. If the Diabolist drinks from another source, the spell's effect is diminished again by one evening per Blood Trait consumed.
Counting Coup (Anarchist Cookbook pg. 60)
Time Required: 15 minutes.
Duration: Length of the message.
Components: A piece of chalk.
Availability: Anarch
Prerequisites: Thaumaturgy: Primary Path - Basic
Ability: Occult - 1.
This allows the caster to leave a prerecorded message at the scene of her crime, for the eyes of the prince or his brood only.
Mechanics: The Thaumaturgist must spend a Mental Trait to record this message and may then have up to 15 minutes, which they must act out, of sounds and moving images visually displayed when triggered. During the casting the Thaumaturgist inscribes the area with chalk markings. These markings determine when and how the ritual will trigger and deliver its message. But, if erased in any way, before properly triggered, the ritual is destroyed. The Thaumaturgist may have the ritual trigger when anyone enters the room or only if a certain individual or individuals, whom the Thaumaturgist must have at least seen in the past, come across the ritual site.
Craft Blood Stone - As per Craft Blood Stone
Detect Authority (Anarchist Cookbook pg. 61)
Time Required: Two minutes.
Duration: Instantaneous.
Components: None.
Availability: Anarch
Prerequisites: Thaumaturgy: Primary Path - Basic
Ability: Occult - 1.
This is a testing ritual; the caster cuts his palm, and does the same to the young neonate. They clasp hands mixing their blood while the caster stares into the eyes of the neonate searching for any mystical sign of Blood Bonds or any vampiric control (disciplines)...
Mechanics: In order to determine if the target of this ritual is under another s influence, whether from a Blood Bond, Dominate, Presence or other effect, the Thaumaturgist must succeed in a Static Challenge versus the influencing individual s Mental Traits. Note this is against the influencing individual, i.e. the individual exerting vampiric control, not the influenced target of this ritual.
Each influence over the individual requires a separate test to determine. Therefore, some influences on the target may be missed by the Thaumaturgist while others are discovered. However, vampiric control from individuals of lower generation, with respect to the Thaumaturgist, is increasingly more difficult to discover. Thus, for each two generations difference, the Thaumaturgist is faced with an additional retest she must overcome to succeed in the Static Mental Challenge.
If successful, the general effect is determined (Blood Bond, Dominate, Presence, etc.) but the Thaumaturgist must succeed in an additional Static Mental Test, with the same number of retests as before, to determine the exact identity of the influencer, but only by how the influenced individual knows them.
If unsuccessful, the Thaumaturgist knows nothing of that influence or influencer. Note - to reduce the Out of Character inference of the existence or non-existence of influences based upon the number of challenges and/or the number of retests, it is suggested to engage in more challenges than are actually necessary for determinations sake. Besides not truly knowing Out of Character if there are any influences at all, you may, for example, take five retests in one challenge just to make the player very nervous The Thaumaturgist may at most attempt this ritual once per day on any one single individual. And the target of this ritual may not use Soul Mask to cover up another's influence upon them.

Time Required: One minute.
Duration: One hour.
Components: A piece of cowhide.
Availability: Sabbat
Prerequisites: Thaumaturgy: Primary Path - Intermediate
Ability: Occult - 2.
By blowing on a piece of cowhide and concentrating for one full minute the ritualist may establish an invisible kinetic shield. The shield extends approximately one inch around the caster and visibly deflects all inanimate mundane missile projectiles - including bullets, thrown knives, etc.
Mechanics: Projectiles visibly deflect from the shield; those in close proximity receive a Mental Challenge versus 8 to notice the deflection. This shield cannot stop a character--mortal or Kindred--from closing and entering melee with the caster, nor has it any effect on a melee weapon (a spear, perhaps) in the grip of an attacker. Neither will it stop the effects of Thaumaturgy or other Disciplines. Fire, air, sunlight, water, etc. will all pass unaffected through the shield.
Establishing the shield requires the expenditure of a Mental Trait and one minute of concentration while the caster blows on a strip of cowhide. The effect lasts for one hour. Multiple shields may not be activated. The ritualist may only start casting a second shield when the first is no longer active.
