After imbibing trima, a victim must make a successful Willpower roll (difficulty 8) to take any action, as they are overcome with artificially induced lethargy.

Cainites and other supernatural creatures are unaffected by Trima, as their blood is too potent to be overpowered by this concoction.

Rituals
Rank 1
• Defense of the Sacred Haven - This ritual requires one hour to perform, during which the thaumaturge recites incantations and inscribes glyphs. One blood point is required for this ritual to work. (VTM: pg. 183)
Rank 2
• Trima - The caster mixes at least one point of her vitae with the desired wine and spices. Once completed, the trima must be ingested to take effect. After imbibing trima, a victim must make a successful Willpower roll (difficulty 8) to take any action, as they are overcome with artificially induced lethargy. This effect lasts a number of hours equal to the number of blood points the caster uses to create the ritual. Subjects may resist this effect by scoring at least three successes on a Stamina roll (difficulty 8). Cainites and other supernatural creatures are unaffected by Trima, as their blood is too potent to be overpowered by this concoction. (BMSoT: pg. 93)
Rank 3
• Shaft of Belated Quiescence -
Rank 4
• Warding Circle Versus Kindred - Ward versus Kindred behaves exactly as Ward versus Ghouls, but it effects vampires rather than ghouls. The ritual requires a blood point of the caster's own blood and does not affect the caster. As noted above, this ritual does not harm Kuei-Jin, and there is currently no "Ward versus Cathayans" in existence. (TGttC: pg. 113)
Rank 5
• Blood Contract - The ritual is best handled by the storyteller, who may bring those who sign the blood contract into compliance by whatever means necessary (it is not unknown for demons to materialize and enforce adherence to certain blood contracts). The only way to terminate the ritual is to complete the terms of the contract or to burn the document itself. One blood point is consumed in the creation of the document, and an additional blood point is consumed by those who sign it. (VTM: pg. 185)
