> What about those who have the god particle from the vampire spell or who are kept as a "force of nature"? Will they die too if they are 0% ritual or go "full retard" (whatever that means)?
Yokai: Iie. That would be impossible. A force of nature has a hardwired natural state of ritual. It cannot change. This is not a restriction, a wind spirit for example can learn anything above the standard for a wind spirit, but cannot fall below it. This also means one cannot be a wind spirit if one's true nature has desire-bound things below wind spirit standards. A vampire is also hardwired as a predator of some kind. This predator will prey on other desire-bounds in ways that trumps them, like nature giving the trolls the middle finger. Vampires are very uneven and live lives like that. They can be very ethereal and go in retreat for long periods, then suddenly flip and go on a spree. A vampire going full retard cannot actually go full retard in the same ways as a non vampire, they are blocked from harming themselves that way and have a minimum level of ritual. Wouldn't you say their obsessions and neurotic OCD behaviour is very ritualistic? Vampires, (no matter which kind) are perfect yokai in a sense. They can't avoid turning everything into rituals. Why do spirits come when you draw or burn a sigil? Because they are obsessed with seeing patterns everywhere. Someone drawing strange shapes? It has to have a meaning, they can't let it go.
