Opening the Darkened Ways

Category

This rite must be used on a Darkened Mirror, and allows the connection of two known Darkened Mirrors. The ritualist must use this on a Darkened Mirror, created by the Ritual of the Darkened Mirror, and they must know the location and information about the Darkened Mirror they wish to connect to. The mirror has it be in the same general location as expected, not in a precise spot. After opening a connection, the ritualist can scry between both mirrors to listen and see what the mirror sees. After more time spent conducting the ritual, the Dancer is able to appear in the mirror itself if they wish, and communicate through it, as well as use some abilities. Continued use allows the Dancer to open a hidden Moon Bridge between the mirrors.

System

The rite master must perform this in his reflection on a Darkened Mirror, and it takes five minutes to open the connection, and five minutes for each stage afterwards. The ritualist rolls Gnosis to pierce the Gauntlet, then rolls Wits+Rituals vs 6, and on 3 successes or more, the connection is opened. When the connection is opened, both Mirrors will darken slightly. (Perception+Alertness vs 6-9, depending on mirror size and light.) Any extra successes can be used in further stages of opening the connection, and each stage requires 3 successes on a Wits+Rituals vs 7, and 8 respectively. The Moon Bridge opened can only be used by the rite master, and he can bring 1 person per point of Gnosis spent, and any gifts pertaining to Umbral travel can be used to cross the Moon Bridge.
