Whips of the Erinyes

Level 7.

This curse torments its victims with guilt for past crimes. Once per night, the curse forces the victim to relive a memory that fills her with shame. This happens every night until the victim no longer feels shame for what she did. Then the curse brings up another shameful memory, and the cycle starts again.

System: For vampires, the curse dredges up events that led to Conscience or Conviction rolls. For each night of the curse's effect, the victim's player must roll that Conscience or Conviction check all over again. The torment continues until the player fails the Virtue roll and the character loses a point of Path rating: The victim no longer cares about what she did. The cycle of shame wearing down to apathy continues until the victim loses one point of Humanity or Path rating for every success the magician's player rolled when he levied the curse.

The victim can abort the Whips of the Erinyes by spending a year in torpor. Countermagic or the Healer Valeren power of The Ailing Spirit can also remove the curse.
