By Alejandro Melchor, for the Mictlan bloodline.
The Sun's Mantle (Level 3): Jealous of the Huitzilopochtli's resistance, the Tezcatlipoca devised this ritual. In a stone recipient, the vampire burns a bunch of eagle feathers along a coup of blood. The resulting residue is mixed with copal and lit again. the vampire must breathe the smoke and bath herself on it. Roll Willpower; each success means 10 minutes of resistance to the Sun.
Passage into the Living Spirit (Level 3): Created by the Tlaloc, this ritual allows them to travel from the Shadowlands to the Life Umbra. The ritual must be enacted in the Shadowlands and, by the conclusion, the vampire finds herself turned into a spirit. In this guise, she cannot affect the physical world and can only use her Disciplines to affect others. Neither Mictlampa nor Arcanoi work. The vampire can travel to any Umbral Realm and needs no sustenance; however, she is vulnerable to everything a normal spirit can be subjected to: being turned into a fetish, summoned (consider her a jaggling), trapped in the Pattern Web, attacked by banes, etc. Each sunrise, the vampire must roll Willpower (diff.6) or be forced back into the Shadowlands; each following day, the difficulty of the roll increases by 1. However, if the Umbral Sun touches the vampire's spirit body, she is returned to the Shadowlands without rolling.
Chain of Return (Level 1): By drinking a mixture of blood and powdered bone, the vampire ensures that, if reduced to 0 Corpus while in the Tempest or the Far Shores, she will reform in her haven. Also allows for immediate transportation if she succeeds a Sta+Occult roll (diff. the Shroud) and burns both a Pathos/Blood Point and a Corpus/Health.
Ancestral Memory (Level 4): If this ritual succeeds, the vampire will lower her generation by 1. Requires the sacrifice of a living animal. A human sacrifice will lower the generation by 2. All Disciplines and Arcanoi are available for the duration of the effect. This enhancement lasts as many days as the vampire's Stamina score.
