The Ivory Claws are the pioneers of this ritual, which gives the subject more power when performing other rites by virtue of his obedience to Silver Wolf's decrees (specifically, the orthodox laws listed on p. 69 of The Pure). Some Fire-Touched and Predator Kings know their own variants, which require obedience to a similarly restrictive law chosen by their Firstborn patron. Few werewolves of any ilk are able to obey these laws for a long time, but some Ivory Claw ritualists and hermits are able to hold to them for months if not years.

Performing the Rite

The subject of the rite -- who can be the ritualist, or can be another werewolf -- declares that she is an obedient child of Father Wolf. She then announces one of Silver Wolf's laws of purity that she intends to obey. The ritualist anoints the rite's subject with ritually blessed pure water and commands the subject to obey the laws of the great father. Note that this ritual can "stack" with itself. If the subject of the rite obeys two or three of Silver Wolf's laws of purity, she gains two or three bonus dice. She cannot exceed three bonus dice, however.

[*]The rite takes five minutes to perform, but a single die roll determines success
