Lilith smiles kindly at the new member of her Family. Piercing both of her own and her partner’s palm, she interlocks their fingers into hers. On the Family Member’s palm appears a small blister that quickly callouses over and disappears beneath their skin
Should the Family Member decide to remove the Mark, they will find that they must dig deep underneath their flesh, and will pull out a veiny, arm-length clot of solidified blood… followed quickly by a liter of their own essence.
Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: Link hands with the target and share blood from an incision made in the palm. Select a Animate target within arm's reach. You must use up 1 Liter of Blood in order to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted. The target may Resist.
Your target is marked with blood blister just underneath the skin.. The mark can only be discovered with a deep medical inspection or Effect. Removal inflicts a Severity 1 Injury on the target.
You are aware of the marked target's vital status, injuries, direction and distance from you. This lasts for the next month, or until either the mark is removed, or you choose to end the Effect. You can have up to 8 marks active.
You receive +2 dice to any rolls made against a marked target.
Marked targets leave a trail wherever they go that is visible only to you and those you teach to see it. This trail shows how long ago the target was there and is followable even when they are in a vehicle.

Restricted targets may escape their binding by spending an Action and taking a Severity-1 Injury. Their movement is reduced by 10 feet until the Injury heals.
