Dark Thaumaturgy
Dark Thaumaturgy is Thaumaturgy gained from Demons. Only some Paths can be learned this way and they are 1/ per level cheaper than an out of clan should be.
Pact Magic Ritual Level 2 *This ritual can be derived by anyone with occult of 5 or anyone with Daimonion*
Using this ritual summons a Demon who will agree to teach the kindred magic in exchange for part of their Soul.
There will always be a price to learning Dark Thaumaturgy, each path learned with Dark Thaumaturgy makes the Kindred take on another Price:
Prices-
Sacrifice: Must sacrifice 2 healthy humans each month. If you stop the power stops (Humanity Loss each month, this may show up in the news)
Soul Stain: Permanently stains the user's soul marking them as an internalist.
Nightmares: Target enters play down 2 willpower each month as the demon in their head whispers of the end times.
Boon You owe a major Boon to a Demon. If you fail to pay if off when called in, they take back their magic and Burn you.
Servant You swear yourself to a Demonic lord. You can learn all the dark Thaum you want. They have the effects of a level 2 blood bond on you.
Dark Thaums revised
Dark themes are those taught by demons. Each has a level (or several) empowered by the forces of Hell. The practitioner may use the normal effect, or they may use the dark thaum variant. However, it requires saying:" Grant me power, my Demonic Lord." As a part of the casting, if they want to use the variant. They may use the normal version just fine, and disguise it as any casting style they wish, so long as they have at least 2 occult.
