Path of Father's Vengeance

Father's Vengeance is more akin to a series of interconnected rituals than it is a path of thaumaturgy. Each level takes an action to cast and requires that the ritualist burn a possession of their targets as part of the casting. It must be an object owned by the character that they understand is theirs. Transient items ( ammunition, food wrappers, receipts) do not work. Ie a Pen they carry for a night will count, but a spent bullet casing fired through their gun will not, the gun itself would, but the cardboard box the gun came in would not. Staff will make the chops with the target at the start of game. With the exception of the last power, it is impossible to figure out who cast these powers on you through magical means. All magical means of detection will simply say "the Father" did it. The item burned to cast the power is destroyed as part of the casting. Path of Father's Vengeance uses the sabbat casting style and cannot be cast in any other casting style.
