Pavis of Foul Presence

Any active Presence power used against the caster in the caster's presence instead affects the user of that power. Thus, if a vampire used Entrancement against the caster, she would find herself rolling the power against herself. As this is a level 3 ritual, it only affects Presence levels 1 - 3 - level 4 (Summon) and level 5 (Majesty) are unaffected. Yes, this is an adjustment from the book's language to reflect (a) the uncertainty of the original language, (b) the surprising number of non-Tremere with the ritual (the Viennese Council is getting prissy about it), and (c) the fact that it's only a level 3 ritual. System: The ritual requires one hour to cast, and the material component is a blue silken cord which is worn around the neck of the caster. The effects last until sunrise.
