| |
− | Entropic Guard (Death ••)
| |
− | By stealing vigor from incoming attacks, a mage guards himself
| |
− | against harm. Effectively, the mage’s shield attacks the vitality of
| |
− | an incoming assault, eroding its forcefulness with a primal decay.
| |
− | Practice: Shielding
| |
− | Action: Instant
| |
− | Duration: Prolonged (one scene)
| |
− | Aspect: Covert
| |
− | Cost: 1 Mana (optional)
| |
− | The mage gains one point of armor per dot he possesses in the
| |
− | Death Arcanum. By spending one Mana, the Duration can be
| |
− | made one day. Most mages cast such a shielding spell at the
| |
− | beginning of the day, as part of their morning rituals. Successes
| |
− | are used to combat attempts to dispel the ward. Note that this
| |
− | magical armor does not apply against an opponent’s attempts to
| |
− | achieve a grappling hold on the mage (Fate, Mind, Space and
| |
− | Time Arcana provide shielding spells to accomplish that). This
| |
− | spell will, however, work to steal vigor from a grappler’s Strength
| |
− | + Brawl rolls to overpower the mage.
| |
− |
| |
− | Devouring the Slain (Death •••)
| |
− | While any mage can commit a living sacrifice to gain Mana (see
| |
− | p. 78), this spell is an act of sorcerous cannibalism that allows a
| |
− | willworker to regain strength from the souls of the dying without
| |
− | necessarily killing them (although it certainly harms them). A
| |
− | mage can restore her resolve or “burn out” a living human Pattern
| |
− | for its Mana, drawing this energy directly into her own stores to
| |
− | use as she will. The spell does not work if cast upon an animal; if
| |
− | it is, nothing happens. If used on a vampire or other form of
| |
− | walking dead, the spell provides no benefit to the mage. In
| |
− | general, the spell is meant for use upon a normal human being,
| |
− | and any attempt to diverge from that procedure is not apt to go
| |
− | well for the caster.
| |
− | Practice: Fraying
| |
− | Action: Instant; subtract target’s Stamina
| |
− | Duration: Lasting
| |
− | Aspect: Vulgar
| |
− | Cost: 1 Mana
| |
− | The mage must first grab hold of the target, with a Strength +
| |
− | Brawl roll, subtracting the target’s Defense. If successful, he can
| |
− | cast this spell as an instant action in the following turn. (With
| |
− | Death 4, he can cast this spell at sensory range as an instant
| |
− | action. He needs Death 5 before he can add Space 2 for a
| |
− | sympathetic casting.) Each success allows the mage to replenish
| |
− | one of his spent Willpower points by harvesting it from a person
| |
− | who has suffered at least one aggravated wound during the
| |
− | current scene (including one who has lost all of his Health to
| |
− | lethal damage and now suffers aggravated damage as his body
| |
− | dies), up to a maximum of the victim’s remaining Willpower
| |
− | points. Alternatively, the mage may burn out a person’s Pattern
| |
− | for points of Mana, converting the ephemeral energies that make
| |
− | up his idealized form into raw power. Each success inflicts one
| |
− | lethal Health wound onto the victim and gives the caster one
| |
− | Mana point. If the victim is a mage, his own Mana points are
| |
− | unaffected; this spell steals energy directly from his Pattern.
| |
− | The caster must use the Prime 5 “Siphon Mana” spell (see p. 231) to
| |
− | directly tap an Awakened person’s Mana. Direct siphoning
| |
− | requires a separate casting from the Willpower-harvesting version
| |
− | of this spell, although both effects can be combined using the
| |
− | normal rules for combining spells (see “Combined Spells,” p.
| |
− | 128). Devouring the Slain can be used only on a given individual
| |
− | once, after which a new level of aggravated damage must be
| |
− | inflicted upon him before he can again be a target.
| |
− |
| |
− | Ghost Gate (Death •••)
| |
− | The mage creates a gateway that transforms anyone who steps
| |
− | through it into a Twilight state of existence. They become
| |
− | Twilight beings until they exit the gateway. While Twilight, they
| |
− | can touch ghosts, pick up ghostly objects or read tomes hidden
| |
− | there. They can also engage in physical or magical combat with
| |
− | ghosts, damaging their Corpus. Conversely, wrathful shades
| |
− | might physically lash out at visitors, causing them harm.
| |
− | Death ••• Disciple of Death 15/228
| |
− | Practice: Weaving
| |
− | Action: Extended (target number = local Gauntlet strength)
| |
− | Duration: Prolonged (one scene)
| |
− | Aspect: Vulgar
| |
− | Cost: None
| |
− | One person of Size 5 or less can pass through the gate per turn
| |
− | (larger people can spend two turns squeezing through). Each
| |
− | success on the casting allows the mage to widen the gate so that
| |
− | one additional person can pass through per turn. W i t h Death 4,
| |
− | the mage can cast this spell as an instant action and can also limit
| |
− | who can enter (or exit) the gate.
| |
− |
| |
− | Summon Shadows (Death •••)
| |
− | As with “Shadow Sculpting,” p. 135, and “Animate Shadows,” p.
| |
− | 136, but the mage now creates darkness from nothing.
| |
− | In addition, he gives it a semi-substantial form so that it can touch
| |
− | things and even provide a weak barrier.
| |
− | Practice: Weaving
| |
− | Action: Instant
| |
− | Duration: Prolonged (one scene)
| |
− | Death ••• Disciple of Death
| |
− | Aspect: Vulgar
| |
− | Cost: None
| |
− | The mage creates a one-yard radius patch of darkness or fivecubic
| |
− | yard volume of darkness. Each success gives the shadow
| |
− | Strength 1 (used to lift objects) or Durability 1. It is not a material
| |
− | object, so it has no Structure. Attacks directed through it (if it is
| |
− | being used for cover) must deal with its Durability, but they don’t
| |
− | damage the shadow barrier.
| |
− |
| |
− | Quicken Corpse (Death •••)
| |
− | Sometimes, it isn’t enough to have loyal and steadfast living
| |
− | servants. A normal human being, no matter how trustworthy, has
| |
− | the capacity for betrayal. Whether his lips are loosened by
| |
− | seemingly sincere companionship, mystic compulsion or even
| |
− | torture, he can be induced to fail his master’s trust. Where, then,
| |
− | does an enterprising necromancer turn for assistance? Quicken
| |
− | Corpse animates one or more corpses to serve as unfailing,
| |
− | devoted slaves. What such servants lack in wits and motivation,
| |
− | they more than make up for in dogged determination and sheer,
| |
− | tireless pursuit of the tasks they are set. Generally speaking, such
| |
− | ambulatory corpses possess a level of reasoning just above that of
| |
− | a rather intelligent dog. They understand certain visual cues (such
| |
− | as the opening of the door they are meant to guard) and auditory
| |
− | commands (“Defend me!”), but cannot perform feats requiring
| |
− | abstract intellect. They have a limited memory, but cannot make
| |
− | even basic correlations or inferences. (While they can, for
| |
− | example, dimly recall that their master has changed their clothes
| |
− | once a day, they cannot determine that he is likely to do so again
| |
− | tomorrow.) They have no individual initiative. These corpseslaves
| |
− | are not really any stronger than they were in life, but they
| |
− | are tireless and completely without the ability to sense or respond
| |
− | to pain. They need not eat or sleep and do whatever chore they
| |
− | are set to until told otherwise, even if it requires them to tear their
| |
− | own bodies apart in the attempt. They experience neither fear nor
| |
− | the desire for self-preservation and have no minds, per se, for
| |
− | others to control. They can, however, be wrested away from their
| |
− | master through the casting of this spell by another necromancer.
| |
− | Practice: Weaving
| |
− | Action: Instant
| |
− | Duration: Prolonged (one scene)
| |
− | Aspect: Vulgar
| |
− | Cost: None
| |
− | Only one success is required to animate a corpse. Additional
| |
− | successes determine the strength of the mage’s control. Someone
| |
− | attempting to wrest control of the walking dead with another
| |
− | casting of this spell must exceed the original caster’s successes.
| |
− | Additional success can instead be used to boost the corpse’s
| |
− | Physical (but not Mental or Social) traits, at a rate of one success
| |
− | per additional dot in any trait.
