Fontal Ritual
Effect: To make use of the spiritual powers contained
in the Wyrm’s Nests called wellheads or fontal nests, a
Dragon must know an arcane ritual capable of harnessing
and channeling that power into a medium suitable
for vampires: blood. Before a vampire can learn those
abstruse rituals, however, she must be trained in the ways
of blood attunement and ritual memorization. Learning
rituals is demanding — it requires the Dragon to develop
a sort of psychic muscle memory for the words,
behaviors and acts of will necessary to invoke a ritual’s
power. But before the Dragon can “train her blood” to
perform a ritual, she must learn how to learn, in a sense.
A character with this Merit can purchase and perform
fontal rituals (described on p. 209). In addition, this
Merit grants the character a +2 bonus on Wits-based
dice pools to investigate or locate nearby fontal nests.
This Merit grants no bonus on dice pool for mystic extrapolation,
but does aid in dousing (see p. 42).
