Woad

Category
A Black Spiral casting this rite reveals the hidden Sacred Tattoos (another rite) worn by a Black Spiral. Even if those present are wearing clothing, the sigils and glyphs become visible, glowing with an unnatural blue tinge. The rite also has a curious effect on bastards of the Hidden Foe, Kirijama. Their glyphs shine on the wall where their shadows are projected. As a side effect, the rite may reverse the Doppelganger gift, the Obfuscation of any vampires present, and so on with similar powers. (Compare the number of successes against the level of the gift or discipline used.)
System
The rite requires one point of Gnosis and a Manipulation+Occult roll. The mystic calls for the names of the various Bane-Totems he believes are present. Just to be safe, he usually chants as many as he can name. The beliefs of the mystic may influence the nature of the ceremony. It can range from the somber proceedings of neo-Druidic affair to the high rituals of an ancient (pre-90s) heavy metal concert.
