Level One: Bind the Children The Horned Society is sworn to seek dominion and mastery over the infernal so that they might better combat infernalism wherever it may be found. Bind the Children fulfills their goal of dominion by allowing them to summon and bind the demonic. System: Necessitating a full scene of uninterrupted focus and the expenditure of one blood point to enact, the Thaumaturge performs a long series of incantations while tracing glyphs surrounding a circle in his own blood around the entrance to his Infernal Nexion. The power and strength of a demon the Thaumaturge is capable of summoning rises proportionate to the level of his advancement in the Path. As the Thaumaturge’s skill in the Path rises, so, too, does his ability to invoke demons of increasing power. Over the course of the scene he makes an extended invocation roll, requiring an amount of successes equal to the number listed for the level of the demon summoned to ensure that the demon is properly summoned and bound.

New Ritual(s):
-Usurp Hell’s Essence (Level 5 Thaumaturgy Ritual)
It is through this ritual that the Horned Society is able to lay claim to the power of Investments and Dark Thaumaturgy. After having gained a Demon’s True Name and having them summoned and bound, the Thaumaturge engages in a contest of wills as he dominates the summoned fiend and tears away at its essence. System: The summoner engages in an extended willpower roll with the demon. Each success will grant the summoner one point of Essence, while a failure will return one to the demon. On a botch the ritual automatically fails and all Essence is returned to the Demon. Each Demon is capable of granting points of Essence equal to their Willpower. The Thaumaturge must gain Essence equal to the XP cost of the Investment/Dark Thaumaturgy they desire before they can spend XP to purchase it.
