Demonic Charms

Airt Sense: Most spirits have a natural sense of the airts (directions) of the spirit world and are able to travel about without much difficulty. It costs one Essence to find any particular thing.

Amplification: The Decani spirit can increase the virulence and vector of its plague or even other plagues in its immediate vicinity.

Essence Cost Trait

2 Add Addition Vector (method of transmission)

5 Increase Virulence (Stamina difficulty increases by one to resist infection)

5 Advance Infection Progression (One stage of infection is bypassed for each additional five Essence expended by the disease spirit, this is cumulative.)

Note: Despite rumors to the contrary, not very many Decani have this Charm.

Awareness: The demon may project its senses through the infected to perceive events in faraway locations.

Dematerialize: When the spirit is materialized it spends a point of Essence and phases thru any sold object.

Fever Detection: Perception + Medicine=6 to determine if a subject is sick, its cause and which Decani, if any to which the disease belongs.

Incite Frenzy: The spirit can cause a single target to enter frenzy. Roll the spirit’s Rage (difficulty is the target’s willpower). The essence cost is three.

Incubus Voice: The spirit with this charm can drain the Willpower from mortals and Awakened alike, converting it for his own use, either immediately or in refreshing its Temporary Willpower Pool. The spirit must speak to the target, expend two points of Essence and roll Manipulation + Empathy = Conscience/Conviction + 3. Successes equal Willpower drained from the target and gained by the spirit. Once a target reaches zero Willpower, he or she becomes an automaton under the sway of the spirit until they do something according to their nature to regain Willpower.

Infection: Decani with this power can infect any target with its plague by spending a point of Essence and touching a target. The target rolls stamina at difficulty 8. Progression of the Illness: Stage One (-2 to Stamina, -1 to Strength and Dexterity; 2 levels aggravated damage), Stage Two (-2 to Strength, Dexterity and Stamina; 4 levels of aggravated damage), Stage Three (-3 to Strength, Dexterity and Stamina; Supernaturals cannot change form, 5 levels of aggravated damage), Stage Four (Strength, Dexterity and Stamina reduced to 1; The supernatural is incapacitated), Stage Five (Death and transformation into a Bane-Wind).

Agreements
Agreement #1: Marius agrees to set Metathiax free from the curse that binds it to Montreal in return for the freedom of Mai Akiyama from incarceration by the Sabbat Inquisition and the Island of Montreal. Agreement #2: Marius agrees to act as Metathiax's vessel from the mountain on Montreal to Varvara Castle in Gabrovo; in return the Decani demon answers questions about ancient vampires. The caveat added by Marius is that in his performance as vessel to the decani Metathiax, he remain in control of his own body and that his position as vessel end when they reach the castle doors. So far, Marius has asked about the following vampires: Tiamat (4th generation Ventrue diablerist and infernalist), Azaneal (5th generation Baali-Lasombra hybrid infernalist), Petaniqua (5th generation Malkavian), Valerius Maior (5th generation Tremere-Antitribu infernalist), the Founder of the Baali bloodline - Saulot.
