Warrior Valeren 8

This extension of Purification was preserved from ancient times by Salubri scholars. It was known as one of the Warrior path's most formidable weapons. The Salubri Warrior may use the Purification power to remove the taint from one subject and project it onto another.

System: After Purification is performed (as per the rules, above), the Salubri's player spends a second Willpower point. The vampire thrusts the evil spirit into a nearby object, animal or person. Timing is critical; if the would-be vessel is too far away (outside physical reach), the demon either goes free or finds another vessel to inhabit (mostly likely the Salubri herself). If the Salubri does "bottle" the demon in an object, her Via is unlikely to drop. If she places it in an animal or other living host, however, the player must succeed at a Via roll (difficulty 8) if the Storyteller believes that this is contrary to the vampire's mortality; a botch means that the demon in question may break free.
