  1. The Greatest Trick of the Devil (Ritual Rank ••):
  2. The greatest trick of the devil was convincing the world he never existed, so is the practitioner of this ritual.
  3. The damned gains full control over the very essence of their infernal features, both in visual effect and resonance. The practitioner may reshape their infernal features in any way they desire. Black foul flames may appear and feel divine or pink and mysterious as the mysteries of the Dreaming, hellish fear induction may bear the resonance of Dementation, Cloaks of darkness may appear as a shiny armor of a white knight, Devilish horns may appear as girlish cat ears, and so forth.
  4.  
  5. Systems:
  6. The damned surrounds themselves with 6 candles, one of them is black and the rest must be in different colors, resembling the variations the infernalist can imbue into their darkness. The damned mutters their blasphemous prayers and accesses the Outer Dark; a realm of Chaos, torment, and nothingness. The damned then manipulate these chaotic forces to reshape their infernal features in any way that they desire. Intelligence + Occult roll has to be made against difficulty 5 and a blood point must be spent for each feature reshaped through this ritual. Each success reshapes the damned's features further, makes it harder to reach the source of its true nature. This ritual may be continued as an extended action until the candles completely melt down, however, each attempt takes a full hour to perform and requires an additional blood point per reshaped feature.
  7.  
  8. * Botching this roll will not only ruin the ritual but also drain a temporary willpower point per reshaped feature. If the infernalist's willpower drops below 0, they enter a coma state for the rest of the night.

  19. Example:
  20. Camila would like to reshape her Conflagration power (Daimoinon •••) into aweing divine flames, her Obsidian Skin (Path of Gehenna ••) into a blush of health, and her dark robes (Armor empowerment) into royal clothing. She surrounds herself with 5 colorful candles and sits in the middle of the circle with the black candle in her hands. She mutters her prayers, spends 3 blood points in the process, and rolls Intelligence + Occult at difficulty 5... By the end of the hour, Camila has scored only 3 successes and decides this isn't enough. She continues with another ritual hour, spends another 3 blood points, and rolls Intelligence + Occult at difficulty 6.
