Assamite Sorcery

Assamite Sorcery is a form of blood magic. Mechanically, it works the same as Thaumaturgy in that it has individual paths and rituals.

The paths and rituals available to Assamite sorcerors are different than those availabel with Thaumaturgy. While many Thaumaturgy paths and rituals are also available as Assamite Sorcery paths and rituals, not all of them are. There are also several paths and rituals that are unique to Assamite Sorcery.

Assamite sorcery is sometimes referred to as Dur-An-Ki. Technically this is a form of Mesopotamian magic and is not confined to Assamites. However, the vast majority of practitioners of Dur-An-Ki are Assamites sorcerors, and Assamite Sorcery encorporates many of the paths and rituals of Dur-An-Ki.

Assamite sorcery generally requires the sorceror to enter some kind of altered state. This may involved taking drugs, whirling themselves into a state ecstasy, meditation, ritual sex, causing severe pain to themselves, or virtually any practice that will produce an altered state of consciousness.
