As astounding as a werewolf’s supernatural recuperative powers are, they’re not infallible. Some wounds, such as those inflicted by silver, simply inflict too much damage to be regenerated at any speed. The Rite of Healing is the Uratha’s answer to this need. With it, the ritemaster can increase a subject’s regenerative powers until they can overcome even the most severe wounds. This rite is certainly potent, but it’s hardly an ironclad guarantee. The most grievously wounded werewolves might not survive the time required to complete the rite.

Performing the Rite

The ritemaster must gather any subjects to be healed around herself, evenly spaced about her like the points of a compass or spokes of a wheel. As she chants or sings an invocation to ancestor-spirits and spirits of strength and mercy, she ritually cleans the wounds of each subject in turn. Some ritemasters wash the wounds in pure water, while others lick the wounds clean. Unlike many other rites, the Rite of Healing doesn’t involve howls. It’s a quiet, intense ceremony usually performed between packmates.
