The Crucible

The Crucible is the name of an unique Thaumaturgical ritual developed by the Tzimisce Stéphanie L'Heureux of Montreal.

Overview
The ritual requires a cup of her own refined Vitae. Those who drink the mixture temporarily gain subconscious use of Vicissitude and find their bodies transforming to match their self-images. This rite is performed when a vampire enters the Wretched pack and whenever a member feels ready to "evolve".

This unique ritual has gained Stéphanie the respect of the city's other Tzimisce and has given her opinions weight.
