Quenching the Lambent Flame

This ritual was developed by the Wanderer, Mictlantecuhtli, after learning the basics from the Maya priests. It effectively raises a vampire generation making them weaker but more sustainably more useful in a long run. Raising a Vampire's Generaiton to 13 allows the Vampire to remain immortal but sustian themselves with the blood of animals longer. And when you are entombed inside a Ziggarut buried deep in the jungle that would be the most advantageous, waiting until the day your God awakens from his sleep.

The ritual takes one hour during which the subject must be motionless - or to be immobilized 0 in the center of a circle drawn in his own blood. If the subject is willing then there is no roll necessary. However, if this ritual were to be used as a weapon, the caster must roll Intelligence + Thaumaturgy versus the subjects Willpower.

Snippets of this ritual have made their way into Kindred society through the Codex of the Damned.
