Dementation 9

Those few who have heard of this power are baffled by it, for it seems totally at odds with Dementation. this power grants the target total clarity of mind, freed from all derangements and compulsions. The ancients of Clan Malkavian know the truth; Touch of the Saints was an application of Dementation that Malkav himself learned while studying with his brother Saulot, who often soothed Malkav's pains. Because of this noble history, it is seen as the greatest gift a Malkavian Methuselah can bestow on anyone.

System: In order to use this power, the Malkavian places her had upon the face of the target, and the player spends a point of Willpower. Touch of the Saints then washes away any and all derangements and anything else influencing the target's mind at that time: the blood oath, Dominate commands, Presence-induced emotions, drugs - any and every outside influence is gone. The target immediately regains all temporary Willpower and for the next week, she has one additional die to all mental dice pools.

The effect of the Touch is permanent (though new mind-influencing powers can be inflicted). This power can not be used on oneself. The only thing it cannot cure is a Malkavian's clan derangement (though even this may be temporarily subdued).
