Utilizing material links via genetics sources (blood links) are strongest via
familial ties. Mother is First, Father is Second. Siblings third, with
cousins and uncles/aunt's following fourth. Say, a +8 for the first stage
(mom), +4 for the second stage (dad), +2 for the third (siblings) and +1 at
the fouth. There really wouldn't be anything beyond that level, unless
inbreeding has occurred, and then the chances of Ritual Misfiring are
increased by 200% to 300%.
