Soul Disjunction

Level 8.

Legend has it that the ancient magician Julianus the Chaldean could make people's souls leave and rejoin their bodies. This ritual duplicates that effect and uses it as an attack. In the course of the ritual, the magician appeals to Hermes, the conductor of souls, and infernal gods such as Hecate and Hades, to rip the soul from the victim's body and hurl it into the outer darkness. The magician then completes the spell some time later that night by pointing at the victim and saying the final magic word. If the ritual succeeds, the victim falls into torpor while his soul whirls away.

System: This curse duplicates the effect of the Auspex power Anima Walk on the victim - and breaks the silver cord that normally links the soul to the body. The victim's soul is lost in some distant part of Earth or in the spirit realm. Finding his way home to his body is left as a challenge for the victim's player... assuming no one destroyed the victim's body.
