It's a really good update for the rules presented in Sacraments and Blasphemies and it fixes the biggest problem that that book had: Room for abuse and creation of really really broken rituals.

With these updated rules, the authors converted the extended action cast from sacraments and blasphemies into a single roll with bonuses and penalties, which is more similar to what you find in Mage the Awakening.

After playing for a while I think that it might need a few tweaks here and there, especially in the way Risk is weighted and also maybe adding that the rituals start with potency or duration equal to the caster's level on the ritual discipline, which is something mages have...

But still, this is definitely a "must-have" kind of book because just like Sacraments and Blasphemies, it will completely change the way you play Vampire the Requiem!

Creator Reply:
I've pondered giving Risk another pass, to clear it up a bit. Maybe make it a single 'stage' instead of the base pool versus modifier distinction. As for the Potency/Duration thing, though, you DO get free steps equal to the theme, but you can freely split them up, rather than having it be based on the ritual. So, if you have, say, Divination 4, you could add 2 steps to Potency and 1 to Duration, or just add 3 to Potency (putting you at 4), for a Divination ritual. As opposed to Mage, where it would all go to either Potency or Duration. Otherwise, thanks for the feedback!

This is a great streamlined reaource for 2ed. If you enjoyed the original book this covers the important materal, updates whats broken, and gives some great examples of magic out side of the major covens. The book is a fantasic update for Vampire.

Blood Sorcery Rites of Damnation is a well put together book for chronicles of darkness. It does a good job of updating and expanding upon the original Blood Sorcery Sacraments and Blasphemies book. It covers sorcerey from Cruac and Theban Sorcery to Dark packs.

The Tabletop Gaming Club recommends this book for those looking to for an update to original work.
