The Blessing of Saint Blaise
Ritual · Vampire
Drawing upon Saint Blaise in his capacity as the patron saint of throat ailments, the order uses this ritus to guard against maladies which pass through the throat. The priest begins by consecrating a pair of candles, and presses them in a crossed position to the neck of blessing’s recipient. The priest then recites the blessing, “Through the invocation of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr of the Sword, may Caine deliver you from ailments.” The recipient is then cured of any harmful effects they may be suffering as a result of having ingested something, and further grants a measure of protection against the harmful effects of ingested substances for the next seven days.
System
If the target has been affected by poison, drugs, or any other ingested substance, the effects of those substances are immediately ended. This includes anything which has been poisoned, diseased, chemically altered, or tampered with, provided it was consumed through the throat.
Further, the ritus protects against the next single ingestion of tainted substances within a seven day period. Note this does not remove the Disease Carrier flaw from a vampire with that Flaw (the infection is latent within the Cainite), but could cure someone who has consumed the blood of an individual who possesses that Flaw. This ritus has no effect on the blood bond or the Vaulderie.
