Ahlat's Shaping Rituals


Ahlat offers her power in exchange for the traditional sacrifice of cattle, savoring their spilled blood and rewarding her with glory. The sorcerer may make a prayer roll (Charisma + Performance, difficulty 3 minus the Size of the herd of cattle sacrificed. Note that Ahlat does not reward simple prayers, the blood of cattle must flow to gain his favor.) seeking power from her patron. Success grants her sorcerous motes equal to (her Essence + extra successes on the roll). These motes last for the duration of the story, and can be spent towards any spell she casts. She cannot pray for power more than once a day, and receiving new motes replaces any granted by past prayers.


Ahlat delights in the clash of arms and the din of fighting. The sorcerer may pay a point of Willpower whenever she makes an Awareness roll to Join Battle. She gains one sorcerous mote for every two successes on this roll. These motes last for the duration of the scene, and can be spent towards any spell she casts. If she is joining battle for the purpose of stealing cattle, or as part of a Battle Group of at least Size 4, she also adds her Occult in bonus dice to the roll.
