Life Leech

A character with a Life Leech Ritual may choose to activate it on a single weapon blow (once per Logistics period per charge) to siphon foul energies from their opponent's wounds. The Ritual may be activated immediately after a single damaging attack made with the Weapon qualifier which strikes the Target and is not prevented or altered via a defensive call. When activated, the wielder will regain Body Points equal to the damage called in the attack. The wielder may not go over their normal Body Point maximum.

The character need not make any verbal declaration that they are utilizing this Ritual.

For Example: Dante has a sword with the Life Leech Ritual cast upon it. He's been heavily injured in a fight with a powerful Ogre and none of his healer friends are around to help. He steels his will and strikes at the Ogre with one of his Slays, calling '30 Normal!'. The blow lands and Dante decides to activate the Ritual. Powerful necromantic energies flow along his weapon and he regains 30 Body Points.

This ritual requires a minimum of 3 reagents to cast. Any additional reagents required by the ritual should be of the same types as listed on the ritual scroll.

• 3:3 Reagents - one charge per Logistics period
• 6:6 Reagents - two charges per Logistics period
• 9:9 Reagents - three charges per Logistics period
