This forbidden rite is known only to the Eaters of the Dead. The practitioner and his aides may gain the knowledge and memories of a dead person by ritually devouring the deceased's brain.
System
Those participating in the rite must roll Intelligence+Occult (difficulty 9). The number of successes determines how complete the memory transference is. No special abilities (Disciplines, Gifts or the like) can be learned from this rite, but the Eaters may learn any number of passwords or occult knowledge. If the rite is practiced more times than the character has Gnosis, then the character will become wholly of the Wyrm. A botch will also destroy the character's mind. If the ritemaster and his aides each spend a permanent Gnosis point, they may perform this rite on a Garou or mummy. The rite also works on immobilized or torporous vampires, although cutting into a Leech's cranium will certainly awaken it.
