Cat's Paw

Draba

This magical sigil must be worked into the Rom's skin by a skilled drabarne using needles and dyes to create a tattoo in the shape of a cat's paw. The tattoo may be placed anywhere on the Rom's body, although most such tattoos are placed on the Gypsy's chest or arm.
The cat's paw takes one point of Willpower to activate. When activated, the tattoo grants the Rom cat-like reflexes and magical speed. The character's Dexterity increases by two dots and the character's Speed doubles, allowing her to double her number of physical attacks.
The effects of the cat's paw last for one scene, and the bearer may use the cat's paw a number of times equal to the Draba skill of the drabarne creator. When the cat's paw has been used for the final time, the tattoo will burn momentarily and then fade, leaving only a slight discoloration of the skin that vanishes altogether in a few weeks time.
