Information:

Your character has a ritually prepared location where her body can be made to reappear if it dies. Even if the character’s corpse is largely intact, she must spend five points of Essence to cause her body to vanish from its current location and appear within the ritual crypt. At minimum, this crypt consists of a bed, slab or other surface large enough to hold your character’s body inside a room with doors and windows that close. This location could be anything from a deeply buried stone crypt to an ordinary bedroom. Regardless of the crypt’s appearance or location, the slab, or bed where your character’s body reappears and all of the walls and doors of this room are marked with special sigils. If any of these markings are disturbed, the ritual crypt does not function and the character’s body remains where it was. Your character can only cause her corpse to reappear there; she cannot cause her still-living body to magically appear at this location. Also, even if the character’s corpse is fully intact, it costs five points of Essence to move her body to the ritual crypt, because doing so involves destroying the body at its present location and then restoring her body to the crypt. All purified automatically know how to create a ritual crypt; possessing this Merit only means that your character has taken the time and effort to create one. '''Drawback:''' If any of the sigils on the crypt are erased or damaged, the crypt does not function and the character cannot cause her corpse to reappear there. Destroying a character’s ritual crypt is quite easy for anyone who can gain access to it. Doing so is a standard part of any attack upon one of the purified. Purified usually attempt to keep their ritual crypt secret from everyone and rarely visit it to avoid someone watching them finding it. Of course, this means that it may not be available when they need it. Creating a new ritual crypt requires one day of special preparations and the expenditure of another two Experience Points, to purchase this Merit again. {{characteristics}}
