At least that's the way I'd rule it - no dodging the Vaulderie by holding blood in your mouth and spitting.įurthermore, erasing blood bonds requires special conditions and is implied to be a voluntary process - no forcing. So giving someone L10 vinculum would also leave you with L10 vinculum. I can only assume that everyone who donated must also drink or the rite doesn't work. The vessel is then passed around the pack until everyone has poured their blood in, before the priest recites an incantation over it, consecrating it as a terrible sacrament before every member of the pack draws a draught. The priest then bleeds into a vessel and passes the cutting device to each Sabbat member present, who pierces his own flesh and bleeds into the chalice.
To impart more gravity to the rite, many packs use elaborate ritual bloodletters decorated with engraved swirls, spirals, or blood droplets. The ritual cutting tool could be a small knife, silver straight razor, or awl. To start the ritual, the priest takes a tool used specifically for the Vaulderie and nothing else and cuts her wrist. In truth, the matter is far more mystical.
Those who are ignorant of the Vaulderie’s finer details believe it to be a simple commingling of vampire vitae in a vessel and the subsequent drinking of it.
