The stars write the natures of those on earth below them, or perhaps they reflect them. Combining astrology and hematomancy, the sorcerer draws out true information about allies, enemies, and mortals that catch their interest.
Ingredients: The night sky; a silver mirror or platter; the blood, hair, spit, or flesh of the target
Process: In the middle of the night, the caster goes to an area with a clear view of the stars in the sky and places their target’s biological material on the silver surface and spreads a Rouse Check’s worth of blood over the surface. The caster spends up to a half hour watching their blood shape itself into patterns and images regarding the answers they seek about the subject.
System: A win on the Ritual roll reveals the target’s greatest aptitudes (i.e., any Attribute or Skill 4 or higher) and their current Ambition. A critical win also reveals their current Desire and at least one of their Convictions. If the sorcerer knows the correct birth date or Embrace date of the target, they can add one die to the Ritual pool. Knowing both still only adds one die.
