Jade,
I really like this.
But man an artifact like this in the hands of say, TNI, is an absolutely 
terrifying prospect.  What about some kind of tweak, like a soul stat drain 
to help activate the ritual.  Thoughts?
Other than that , man, nice work.

>dust before they are able to reach even the base of the artifact. The
>5th care can now easily be removed from the base. Written on the face of
>the card (most often a Joker) is the name of the last victim of the
>hand's magic. When first rediscovered the name on the Joker is John

>The blood has a certain number of requirements, all attached to the
>Hand's legacy.
>- The blood must be from a pre-meditated murder victim. The killing
>cannot be accidental, or random. The killing must be in cold-blood.
>- The victim must have been killed because of a misunderstanding. The
>killer will think there is a reason to kill the victim, but that reason
>must be invalid or completely false.
>-  The blood must be from the victim of a revenge killing. In other
>words, it can't be because, 'I think you are going to kill me', but must
>be 'I think he killed my brother'
