Purpose:

There are no Siliti anymore and BMs CAN learn these rites. All original wording has been copypasted, only the section name has been changed because Moroi are not Siliti. All the stuff below should replace where the Siliti stuff currently is.

 

Moroi Rites

◈     Reflection, Revealing and Revival. Three crimson rites intertwined with the Signate; the written form of the Soul Blueprint through the Material Alphabet’s mortal script for the purposes of ritual identification in blood magic. These Rites may be shared between and led by blood magi with or without the vampiric curses, and become inherent to moroi at the relevant tier.

 

◇     The Vampiric Rites can only be led by characters with an accepted Blood Magic [MA] or become inherently known by and useable with a Moroi [CA] of the appropriate tier.  Characters with the Corcitură [FA] must still be taught the Rites and may only lead or assist in them with an accepted Blood Magic [MA]. 

 

 

[T1] Rite of Reflection - Noncombative

This rite requires [1] unit of genus to conduct and requires [1] blood mage or moroi to perform.

 

Spoiler

◈     A stolen rite from the siliti of yore applicable to all vampires, the Archon Cadmium developed the Speaking Glass as a lesser version of the blood rift; an ethereal window through which a vampire might see and be seen.

 

◈     A Speaking Glass is any solid reflective surface marked with Ethereal, Transcendence, Sound, and Light Runes etched in each corner.  In the centre there must be drawn the signate of the corcitură or moroi they wish to contact which will promptly vanish.

 

◈     At this point the blood mage or moroi conducting the Rite will lose their reflection on whatever surface is being used and contact can be attempted with the vampiric addressee.  At this point the vampire player can be notified of a sound akin to windchimes, urging them toward a reflective surface.

 

◈     Should the Rite be answered, the recipient will appear on the Speaking Glass as shall the blood mage or moroi leading the Rite appear to the recipient on any and all reflective surfaces for the duration.  This link is personal to the two characters, who cannot be seen or heard at the opposing end by others nearby. Similarly, these characters are ignorant to the sights and sounds surrounding the other end of the speaking glass not produced by or carried on the other person. Though the magical link is personal to the two characters, it is not telepathic; both participants must speak or whisper aloud to be heard by the other.

 

◇     Rite of Reflection can only succeed if both players are online and is conducted through emotes as well as the /msg command on the live server.

◇     Only corcituri or moroi can be invoked via the Rite of Reflection, though when cast successfully the Rite will allow for a two-way conversation regardless of the caster is themselves a vampire or ordinary blood mage.

◇     The Rite cannot be conducted without [3] emotes of preparation, following the same ruling on all other forms of long distance communication (i.e. ‘birds’).

◇     A vampire contacted by the Rite can choose to ignore or dismiss the attempt, and will inherently do so in combat. 

◇     When a sender uses the Rite of Reflection to contact a moroi who is dead (regardless of if the player is online), the attempt fails and reveals them as such as the reflective surface becomes awash with putrid black blood as described by the Wither Bane. 

 

 

[T2] Rite of Revealing - Combative

This rite requires [1] unit of genus to conduct and requires [1] blood mage or moroi to perform.

 

 

Spoiler

◈     Commonly a rite used by vampire hunters, the rite of revealing forces a corcitură to reveal their Signate appear upon their forehead as though it were just cut into their skin. A corcitură must be living in order for the ritual to work and therefore requires for them to be restrained or willing to undergo the rite lest they resist it. 

 

◈     The rite of revealing requires the practitioner to create a [3x3] ritual circle of Light, Flesh, Ethereal, Binding, and Life Runes with the blood of the corcitură in question, they must then be laid or caged within. In combat this requires [6] emotes to perform, the latter [3] of which require the corcitură to be kept in the circle. An additional [2] emotes are required each time the circle is disrupted or damaged, as well as [2] emotes per emote in which the corcitură has escaped from the circle. must be kept ritual practitioner then commits 2 units of genus to the circle which then triggers it, yielding the corcitură’s signate upon their forehead.

 

◈     In a non-combative scenario where the corcitură is giving the signate willingly, they may perform the rite on their own flesh over the course of [3] emotes.

 

◇     The vampire victim to the rite must be bound or otherwise incapable of resistance or offer themselves willingly for the rite to succeed.

◇     Once retrieved, a vampire’s Signate can be shared willingly by the recipient and can be utilised in the Vampiric Rites.

 

 

 

[T3] Rite of Revival - Noncombative

This rite requires [6] units of genus to conduct and requires [3] blood mages or moroi to perform, scaling up each OOC month the moroi has been dead for.

 

Spoiler

◈     Once familiar with a Signate and the vampire it belongs to, select moroi can become acutely aware of their kin’s demise whilst blood magi may be prompted of such by the Rite of Reflection.

 

◈     This ritual requires a runic circle of Flesh, Mortality, Power, Draining, and Life runes, at the centre of which must be one of the following; a moroi’s body, a dismembered part of a moroi’s body or the Signate of a moroi.  Whichever focus is chosen for the ritual, the tattered soul of a moroi who has suffered Bodily Destruction can be resurrected using that focus as an anchor to coax their soul from the tug of the hellish Nexus and back into regenerated undead flesh.

 

◈     A fallen moroi’s feeding timer continues as normal whilst they are dead.  The marrows which bind a moroi’s soul continue thirsting for genus even in death.  When a moroi is reincarnated, they reincarnate in whichever state they would otherwise have been in since their last feeding.  For example, a moroi who fed [3] weeks prior to their reincarnation would be withered, just as if they had been alive during that time.

 

◈    An incapacitated moroi undergoing their Regeneration Boon may also be placed at the centre of the ritual circle to make their recuperation instantaneous.  Non-fatal Minor, Major, Debilitating and Mortal Wounds may also be restored with this rite, superseding the Regeneration Boon.

 

◇    The Rite of Revival may only succeed in restoring a moroi from Bodily Destruction with ST approval after providing sufficient evidence of the ritual's participant, genus unit, character knowledge and time criteria via /sreq, which will result in the moroi's denied Creature Application being reaccepted. ST approval is not required to revive a slain moroi who hasn't undergone Bodily Destruction and still has an accepted Creature Application.

◇    Only moroi who have had the Signate of another moroi and the associated character revealed can be alerted of their fellow vampire’s demise by a revelation of such. This in character notification is not universal and may be shared at the dead moroi player’s discretion. Moroi are encouraged to catalogue which moroi they know the Signates of and how / when they were discovered so that such can be evidenced to the ST if requested.

◇     The moroi’s Signate or corpse is essential to the Rite of Revival.  If no blood mage or moroi possess such or care to perform the Rite, the moroi character remains PK’d.  Bodyparts of a dismembered moroi of sufficient size may also be used, specified as their: skull, heart, head, torso, a hand, a foot, a leg or an arm. Ashes or dust left in the wake of a moroi’s Bodily Destruction would not be sufficient for this rite

◇    This rite may only be used with regards to the Moroi [CA] and has no bearing on the Corcitură [FA].

◇    For each full OOC month that passes since a moroi’s Bodily Destruction (as described under the Regeneration Boon), [2] additional units as well as [1] additional blood mage or moroi participant is required for the Rite to succeed.  For instance, a moroi who had undergone Bodily Destruction 12 OOC months ago would require a momentous coven effort of [28] units of genus and [15] blood mage or moroi participants to be restored with the Rite of Revival.

 

[Islamadon 9159]

This lore has been veto'd . . . Spoke with Loremaster and Moroi loreholder on their thoughts.

He explained that the rites Moroi should have are already on the Moroi page and that having them in 2 places will cause them to inevitably go out of sync. Also explained that:

"Siliti = cosmic super BM event creature that still exists and still has special BM powers
Moroi = player BM + Ibleesian Undead hybrid that can be good at BM but isn't Siliti tier"
