Imbue with Blood Ability (Priest Spell)

This spell allows a priest to grant a blooded or unblooded individual the use of one blood ability for a limited time. The priest casts the spell and invokes the name of his or her god while holding the individual with one hand and his or her holy symbol with the other.
The priest has no control over the blood ability conferred on the individual. The recipient rolls for a blood ability as if rolling up a new blooded char­acter, using Tables 12 and 13 in the Birthright Rulebook. The bloodline derivation of this tempo­rary ability depends on the caster's faith, not the subject's nature.
Priest's Faith 	Derivation Granted
Haelyn, Cuiraccen	Anduiras
Erik 	Reynir
Nesirie 	Masela
Ruornil 	Vorynn
Sera, Eloeie 	Brenna
Avani, Laerme 	Basaiua
Kriesha, Belinik 	Azrai
Nonhuman priests roll on Table 11: Bloodline Derivation when they cast this spell to determine the bloodline derivation of the ability they confer.
The strength of the blood ability is determined by the priest's level. If the priest is 5th-8th level. the blood ability granted is a minor one. A priest of 9th-11th level confers a major ability, and a priest who is 12th level or higher grants a great ability.
The individual instantly knows the blood abil­ity gained and how to use it. An individual who receives a blood ability already possessed has the ability improved by one level, if applicable. Other­wise, the spell is wasted.
The material components are the priest's holy symbol and a few strands of hair pulled (not cut) from the subject's head.
Notes: Uncommon for priests from Cerilia, the Birthright setting; virtually unknown elsewhere.
