“Sometimes you make, sometimes you just have to break,” is an old saying amongst the Lodge of Metal. Other Iron Masters often look to members of the Lodge of Metal to help them destroy things, from unwelcome buildings to fetishes used by the hosts or the Pure. This rite doesn’t destroy the object, but does highlight and enhance its weaknesses, allowing werewolves to do what they often do best.
Performing the Rite
This rite needs a varying number of participants, depending on how big the object targeted for destruction is. A small, handheld object needs just the ritemaster, while a building will require an entire pack to participate. The werewolves call, howl and chant as they circle the object, attempting to scare or, at least, unsettle the spirits within. Over the course of the rite, the connection between the spirits and the object is slowly worn away, leaving the object more vulnerable to manipulation, without the reinforcing effect of the spirit’s presence.
