Fount of Wisdom

(Level-Four Crúac Ritual)

Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Circle of the Crone
When this ritual is activated, the sorceress must specify a target from which she intends to feed that same night. For every Vitae she would normally gain when feeding from the target, she instead gains one dot in a Skill possessed by the subject. The subject loses Vitae as normal. The ritualist cannot drain more dots than the vessel possesses, but also cannot drain more than the amount of remaining blood. Drained dots are not added to the ritualist’s own score; instead, she can use the drained ability if it exceeds her own rating in the Skill.
The ritualist may choose to specify a particular Skill to drain, in which case she gains nothing if the vessel has fewer dots in that Skill than she does. Alternatively, she may choose to drain the vessel’s highest Skill.
One of the stolen dots fades every time the sun rises. As long as the ritualist has at least one stolen dot, she has access to the vessel’s Specialties in that Skill, as well, and may apply them to her own score in the Skill or to a stolen score.
The roll to activate this power is penalized by the target’s Resolve.
