6级灵赋

　6级灵赋是众神赐福和传说之物——即使对那些终生行走于精魂间的存在来说也是如此。此等灵赋仅限一代中最伟大的英雄，这些狼人的传说会被复述至终末之日；而且，也只有英雄能到达一位神灵的王廷，并为神明般的精魂完成一项任务或伟绩后，才能获得——如此不可思议的力量绝不会因响应某个仪式大师的召唤而被赐予。因为它们是如此稀少，于此仅提供一小撮代表范例；它们绝大多数在一个时代里只有一位在世狼人知晓——如果真有。

Introduction

　The following are Level Six Gifts, some of the most powerful known to the Garou. It is exceedingly rare for a Garou to reach Rank Six; those who get there deserve this power. There are no known Gifts higher than Rank Six, although Garou legends tell of heroes of yore possessing many strange powers unknown in modern times.

　Only Incarna can teach these Gifts, Garou must travel to the Incarna's realm in the Umbra and petition it for the Gift. Besides the dangers inherent in such a journey, the Incarna will almost always demand a favor or quest before granting the knowledge.

Another Version:

Garou




Auspice



Ragabash


Firebringer

Version I:

　This amazing Gift allows a Ragabash - the trickster of Garou society - to steal a power or ability from another being and turn it into a Garou Gift, teachable to others.

　System: The Ragabash must first be the victim of the power he wishes to steal (i.e., come under vampiric Domination, be affected by a mage rote, etc.). If he survives, he can take what he has learned and teach it to others. However, he cannot use the new power himself! In addition, anytime thereafter the original power is used against him, it is at one difficulty less - he is considered vulnerable to it.

　Even Wyrm-tainted powers can be stolen (fomori powers, Black Spiral Gifts, etc.); the Ragabash's sacrfice is enough to cleanse them of their taint. In this way, the work of the Wyrm can be directly turned against It.

　The exact nature and stem of the new Gift is entirely up to the Storyteller. It takes only about an hour for the Ragabash to teach the Gift (as if he were a spirit). The Storyteller is free to use powers given in any other Storytelling games as the bases for new Gifts, as long as the character is willing to risk all to steal that knowledge. Ragabash willing to do something so selflessly for the community are very rare; one that does should gain much Renown for her feat.

Version II:

　This powerful Gift allows a Ragabash to pull the ultimate stunt, stealing a supernatural power and turning it into a Gift. Moreover, the Gift can be taught to others, as if the New Moon was a spirit teacher. The difficult part is that the Ragabash has to endure having the power used on her first, but after that, she makes it her own to teach, but alas, not to use herself. A powerful spirit, such as the avatar of a trickster Incarna, teaches this Gift.

　System: Survival, smarts and sacrifice are key to acquiring this Gift, though no specific dice rolls are needed. First, the Ragabash must suffer through the effects of the power (such as vampiric Discipline, or a mage’s rote) being successfully used on her. Then, she can take her experiences, work with the appropriate spirit and turn the power into a Gift she can teach to others. The Ragabash cannot herself use the Gift, and moreover, she now has a vulnerability to its effects. The next time she encounters another supernatural using the power, the enemy is at one difficulty less to use it on the New Moon (the power more easily affects the Ragabash). Any supernatural power can be co-opted in this way, including Wyrm-tainted powers. In this way, the werewolves can turn the might of the Wyrm back on itself. Because of the sacrifice involved, the New Moon usually gains considerable Renown for not only “stealing” the knowledge of the supernatural power, but also teaching it to others. Storytellers should feel free to be creative and innovative in bringing powers from other games (Such as Vampire and Mage) into the Werewolf universe. The Storyteller determines the level of any Gift gained in this manner, as appropriate.

Version III:

　 The Ragabash performs the ultimate trick, stealing a supernatural power and turning it into a Gift, which may in turn be bestowed upon to others as though the New Moon were a spirit teacher. Alas, the Ragabash must first survive having the power used upon him. Coyote or another trickster Incarna teaches this Gift.

　System: After having a power used on him, the Ragabash may spend one point of permanent Gnosis to internalize it into a Gift. The Ragabash cannot use this Gift himself, and in fact forfeits all defenses against that power if ever used on him in the future; it exists instead as a treasure to bequeath upon the Garou Nation. Any power may become a Gift in this fashion - even the vile magic of the Wyrm may be stolen and turned to the defense of Gaia. The Storyteller determines the new Gift’s appropriate level and what sort of spirit Garou should be able to learn it from. In the case of mages, this power steals particular rotes rather than entire Spheres.

Theurge


As In the Beginning

　The Theurge can tear away aeons of the Weaver’s works for a short while. This Gift rips down the Gauntlet entirely, merging the worlds of flesh and spirit as they were in the days of legend. Moreover, this mended region acts as a shining beacon to Gaian spirits, calling a flood of nature-spirits and other allies to assist the Theurge. An avatar of Gaia Herself teaches this Gift.

　System: The player spends three points of Gnosis and rolls Wits + Occult (difficulty of the local Gauntlet). The Gauntlet is torn open within the local area. The thinner the Gauntlet, the wider the rip: from a few rooms in the midst of a skyscraper to an entire mile of landscape in the depths of the Amazon. Friendly spirits of the Storyteller’s choosing come flooding out to aid the Theurge - the more successes, the greater the number or power. The Gauntlet is permanently lowered by 1 in an area where this Gift has been used; this benefit doesn’t stack with repeated use.

Source: 20th Anniversary Edition, Page 166


Invoked Presence

　By using this awesome Gift, the Theurge can call upon an Incarna or Celestine directly, bringing their focus to bear on the area around him. This does not summon an Avatar; rather, the presence is a mystical permeation of the principle the invoked spirit represents. The Theurge will later need to repay the debt owed to the spirit he invoked before he can use this Gift again; this typically entails a strong geas, an extended spirit quest or the sacrifice of a valuable fetish. Any Celestine’s avatar can teach this Gift.

　System: The Theurge spends five points of Gnosis and the presence of a Celestine or Incarna is made manifest within a 180 yard radius globe around her for several hours. Essentially, this Gift is like a sustained, area-effect form of Totem Gift, and the effects are thus highly variable dependent upon which greater power the Garou chooses to invoke. The following three effects are constant:

　● Any actions that directly support the principle of the invoked spirit have a number of dice equal to the Theurge’s Gnosis added to their dice pool. In the case of combat, only one type of combat roll (attack, damage, dodge, initiative, etc.) will be so enhanced.

　● Attempting to take any action directly antithetical to the invoked spirit requires three successes on a Willpower roll (difficulty 8), and even then, the action will be rolled at +2 difficulty.

　● The spirit will send members of its Brood equivalent in power to a full pack of Rank One Garou to the site to aid the Theurge and his allies immediately.

　Beyond this, the effects are dependent on the power the Theurge chose to invoke; Unicorn may simply make any act of violence impossible in the area; a Harvest Incarna may cause all the plants in the area to grow to rich and healthy maturity in minutes, while invoking the Weaver might make the Gauntlet utterly impenetrable.

Rebirthing

Version I:

　This most holy and rare of Gaia's Gifts enables the Garou upon his death to be instantly reincarnated in the body of a newborn cub living within 2,000 miles of where the Garou died. The reincarnation is most often of the same breed as the Garou had in his former life, but it can be into another breed - even metis - if the only newborn within range is not of the original breed. If there are no newborn cubs in range within one turning of the moon from the moment of death, then the Garou is not reborn and goes where all Garou go upon death.

　System: The cub will not have any of the memories and powers of the original Garou until after the First Change, whereupon he will grow into them. Such a cub, when discovered, will be guarded and protected fiercely by all Garou until he fully comes into his former powers (in addition to any new powers gained). He must regain his old rank in the same manner as all cubs (step by step), and will only remember his old powers up through his current rank. When he gains another Rank level, he will then remember all the powers of that level. However, he will not retain knowledge of this Gift, and must learn it again (and few spirits will be willing to teach it a second time).

Source: Storyteller’s Handbook 1st Edition (WW3205), Page 122

Version II:

　This gift was bestowed upon the Silver Fang Lupus Theurge Grimfang by Gaia herself. Upon his death, he will be reborn in the form of a cub somewhere within 2,000 miles of his demise. This is not a Past Life, but an actual reincarnation. At maturity, the cub will come into Grimfang’s true powers.

Philodox


Break the Bonds

Version I:

　This Gift allows a Garou to break any bonds holding her, whether mental or physical. This includes all manner of mind control, whether by a mage Sphere or vampiric Blood Bond. The Garou can use this Gift to break the bond even though her master may demand her not to. However, she may not seek out a spirit to teach this Gift if she is commanded otherwise. Thus, this Gift is most often awarded to a Garou as a return for service to an Incarna or equally powerful spirit who is well aware of the Garou's unnatural servitude.

　System: The Garou is effectively immune to supernatural coercion and can easily break any physical bonds holding her (she has the equivalent of Strength 15 for doing so). When used to stop such coercion on others, the Garou must spend a Gnosis point and roll Manipulation + Leadership against a difficulty 6. Only one success is required. Also, the Garou can break another's physical bindings as if she possessed Strength 15.

Source: Storyteller’s Handbook 1st Edition (WW3205), Page 122

Version II:

　This Gift shatters all bonds, whether physical or mental, from sturdy iron chains to the slavery of a vampire’s bewitched blood. The Garou may use it to benefit any being, including herself. It is taught by any Incarna with the freedom to come and go as they please.

　System: The Garou is automatically immune to any supernatural coercion, and may break bonds as though she had Strength 15. She may also break another’s physical bonds with that same Strength, or banish mental bonds from another with a Manipulation + Leadership roll (difficulty 11 – target’s Willpower).

Source: 20th Anniversary Edition, Page 168-169


Release from Bondage

　There are many ways to mystically blend the will of another. This Gift shatters all such bonds, from the blood domination of a vampire to a mage’s mind control or a Half Moon’s geas. Those who know this Gift may use it on any being, including themselves. This Gift is only granted by an Incarna or equally powerful spirit, usually as a reward for some great service.

　System: The Garou is automatically immune to any supernatural coercion save from any being more powerful than an Incarna. The Gifted one may break another’s mystic compulsion by touching her, spending a Gnosis point and rolling Manipulation + Leadership (difficulty 11 – the target’s Willpower).

Galliard


Break the Bonds

　In Storyteller’s Handbook 1st Edition (WW3205) and 20th Anniversary Edition, it is the same as the Philodox one.

Source: Storyteller’s Handbook 1st Edition (WW3205), Page 122 and 20th Anniversary Edition, Page 170


Storyteller

　Rather than simply telling and retelling the stories of old, or even waiting until the events of the day become the new stories, the Galliard can change the events of the ongoing drama unfolding around her. She may add new “characters,” altering chains of events, and even change the motivations of the major participants. However, as this Gift can literally have world-altering ramifications, the handful of Garou in history that have known it have been loath to actually use it. Rumor has it that the defeat of the Storm-Eater was due partially to use of this Gift - but likewise, rumor also states that the horrific events in Russia during the past century stem from a Child of Gaia Galliard who thought that she knew the way the story would end. No one knows what sort of spirit teaches this Gift; presumably an avatar of Gaia, but since so few Garou even know of the Gift’s existence, no one can say for certain.

　System: The player spends one permanent Gnosis point and explains, in as much detail as possible, the change she wants to make to the story. The Storyteller, of course, has final say, and once the “dramatic alteration” is done, the Garou has no further control. Events that she concocts can and do spiral out of control, so utmost care must be taken with the Storyteller Gift.

Ahroun


One on One

　The World of Darkness is a complex place, filled with intrigue, misdirection and all manner of supernatural evasion. Ahroun, however, are simpler beings, and this Gift allows them to extend their direct methods where they might not otherwise reach. The Garou says a brief prayer to Luna and the other innumerable spirits of blood, terror and vengeance in the Garou pantheon. She is then transported instantly to a single foe of her choice, whom she may engage in one-to-one combat to the death under Luna’s own aegis. The foe cannot flee (though tactical withdrawal with the specific intent of continuing the fight this scene is acceptable), nor can she receive aid from outsiders. The invoker is bound by the same restrictions, of course.

　Luna herself teaches this Gift, and not through an avatar - the petitioner must journey to Luna’s court in the Aetherial Realm and convince the capricious goddess that her reasons for needing this power are just.

　System: This Gift cuts through all supernatural forms of warding, concealment, contingency spells and similar precautions without any roll. For the remainder of the scene, both affected parties can receive no aid from other sources, and can only use powers that are directly physical in nature. A vampire’s unearthly strength and speed or a faerie’s ability to strike at enemies with the spirit of holly would remain potent, but a member of either race would be stripped of his supernatural mind-clouding and unearthly presence. Likewise, a Namebreaker might throw lightning or increase his own strength, but not teleport away or turn incorporeal to avoid the Garou’s strikes utterly.

　This Gift involves the direct interference of the Celestine Luna in mortal affairs, and the Storyteller should remember that a thinking being is determining the Gift’s exact effects, not a defined supernatural spell. The Storyteller should make judgement calls on the Gift’s effects keeping it within its intended spirit of providing a fair, open a physical fight. A Garou asking to be transported to a vampire in torpor, for example, might find the Leech awake and ready to fight…

　The Garou must expend a point of permanent Gnosis to activate this Gift. Once the fight is done, normal rules of reality reassert themselves - which might be bad if the Garou has been sent to Malfeas or some other hellish domain.

Unstoppable Warrior

Version I:

　A Garou who uses this potent Gift can regenerate aggravated damage. This works against all attacks except those from silver weapons. Each turn, roll Stamina + Primal-Urge against a difficulty 8; if successful, then spend one point of Rage per Health Level healed (much like a vampiric Blood Pool).

Source: Rage Across the Amazon (WW3104), Page 40 and Rage: Warriors of the Apocalypse (WW3403), Page 35

Version II:

　A Garou who uses this potent Gift can regenerate aggravated damage. This works against all attacks except those from silver weapons.

　System: Each turn, roll Stamina + Primal-Urge against a difficulty 8; if successful, then spend one point of Rage per Heath Level healed (much like a vampiric Blood Pool). The Garou cannot attack in the same turn, unless he has the Level Three Ahroun Gift: Combat Healing (see Werewolf Player Guide, pg. 38)

Source: Storyteller’s Handbook 1st Edition (WW3205), Page 122

Version III:

　 The werewolf with this potent Gift may shrug off even flames and the claws of his own kind. A warrior Incarna teaches this Gift.

　System: The Garou becomes permanently capable of healing all aggravated damage as though it were lethal damage, save for wounds inflicted by silver.

Black Spiral Dancer


Prelude to Apocalypse (Theurge)

　As the Gaian Gift As In the Beginning, this version might be learned by a Black Spiral Theurge and summons Wyrm-spirits of all kinds. No Black Spiral Theurge has yet learned this Gift.

在修订版部落书中，英雄长眠成了5级死亡仪式。

英雄长眠仪式（死亡）

　这个稀有而强大的仪式已被用在一些最伟大的芬尼安英雄身上。当一位有着最高声望的芬尼安战死沙场，他会被放于地土中（如洞穴或墓冢墓室），仪式大师会在此将遗体献给大地，令灵魂和地土联系在一起。尸体的伤口愈合，然后陷入沉睡。在少数情况下，英雄的狼群或战友会被允许加入长眠。豪杰和他的狼群便如此埋葬凭人吊唁，不会衰老，也无需食物或呼吸——直到他苏醒，再次——在末日的开始——拿起武器。

　系统：仪式大师于施展时花3永久灵知。若她成功，英雄伤口瞬间愈合，脸颊恢复红润。英雄在睡意袭来前常有足够时间说最后几个字。若仪式大师获5+成功，那么英雄可在短时间内苏醒，并于重大危机时回到圣地（依叙事人定）。

Fianna


Sleep of the Hero

　This powerful Gift has been invoked many times in Fianna history. When a great hero (Rank 5 or higher) dies in battle, the Fianna take the body and dedicate it to the land. This Gift forms a bond between the Fianna and the land and the spirit of the hero. The champion’s life returns, but he remains in a deep sleep, not to awaken until the Apocalypse. The target must be placed somewhere in the earth, such as a cave, or within a burial mound. During this sleep, the hero is unaffected by the elements and does not need to breathe. This Gift is taught by Fianna ancestor spirits.

　System: The Garou spends two points of Gnosis and rolls Intelligence + Rituals against a difficulty of 9. If she succeeds, the life comes back into the hero and he falls into a deep sleep, usually after having a chance to say a few last words. If the wielder of this Gift receives five or more successes, then the hero may awaken and return to the caern at any time of great crisis, at the Storyteller’s option.

Get of Fenris


Call Great Fenris

Version I:

　The Get may summon a spirit avatar of Fenris Wolf. The avatar will assist in combat, slaying all who are not Get of Fenris or under their protection. There is always a sacrifice demanded in return, traditionally the right hand of the summoner. Once Fenris has claimed the hand, it does not regenerate. If there is not a good reason for calling the avatar, or the summoner will be devoured whole. This Gift is taught by a wolf spirit.

　System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Stamina + Occult (difficulty 6). The summoner permanently loses one Health Level as his right hand is bitten off by Fenris in return for daring to summon him. See the sidebar for the Fenris avatar's Traits.


Source: Tribebook: Get of Fenris (WW3055), Page 48

Version II:

　As the ultimate expression of the pact between tribe and totem, the greatest Get heroes my summon the war-avatar of their tribal totem to aid them in their hour of need. The avatar joins in combat, slaying all that are not Get of Fenris or under their protection. However, Great Fenris demands a sacrifice for his intervention - usually the left hand of the summoner. It’s said that if the war-avatar is called for no good reason, it will devour the summoner entirely before departing – but there are no concrete tales of any Get of Fenris wise and mighty enough to attain this Gift yet foolish enough to abuse it. This Gift is taught by a wolf-spirit.

　System: The player spends one Gnosis point and rolls Stamina + Occult (difficulty 6). Success summons the war-avatar of Great Fenris, who will fight at the Fenrir’s side for the duration of the scene. At the combat’s end, the summoner automatically gains the Battle Scar: Maimed Limb (Werewolf, pg. 190) as the war-avatar claims Fenris’ due; even if the Garou already possessed that Battle Scar, he gains it a second time as Fenris devours another limb.

Red Talon


Home in All Lands

　Legends among the Red Talons state that the wolves with the greatest connection to the Progenitor Wolf were not bound by distance, but indeed could appear anywhere where wolves were found. This was long thought to be simply lore, but in fact an elder Red Talon with strong enough lineage might well learn to fade from one location and appear anywhere else in the Realm or the Umbra, provided that the Progenitor has been there before him. Only the Progenitor Wolf himself teaches this Gift.

　System: The player must roll Gnosis as though her character were stepping sideways. If successful, the character may appear at any location on Earth where wolves might be found naturally (whether or not any may still exist) or any location that boasts Garou. She may instead choose to appear in any Umbral Realm that she has previously visited. A Red Talon must have Pure Breed 5 to learn this Gift.

Shield of Gaia

Version I:

　The Garou can become so attuned to the laws and rhythms of Gaia that the Weaver’s laws cease to have any affect on her. This Gift can only be used once by any Garou who learns it; its effects are permanent. The Garou becomes immune to the effects of one form of technology, such as bullets, photography (i.e., cannot be photographed), electricity, chemical toxins, etc. This Gift is taught by an avatar of Griffin.

　System: The Garou spends a permanent point of Gnosis and chooses the one form of technology to which she will be immune. It is up to the Storyteller to determine exactly what is and is not included in the protection afforded by this Gift. For example, Garou who choose immunity to flame-throwers would not be burned by them, but other flames will act normally upon her.

　This Gift does apply against Wyrm-tainted technology, although not Wyrm substances. For instance, a Garou who is immune to chemical toxins may not be harmed by the Pentex acid, but the Bane in the acid can still try to posses her.

　This Gift is open to a lot of abuse, but the player and the Storyteller should recognize the spirit of the Gift: it is Gaia’s protection to Her children from the ravages of the Weaver and the modern world. Just how this is interpreted and how much is permitted depends on the mood and atmosphere of a game. However, no player should be allowed to claim immunity from nuclear weapons.

　System: The player must determine what this Gift grants immunity to at the time of purchase. Its effects are permanent.

Silver Fang


Renew the Cycle

Version I:

　 This is one of the most potent powers of the Garou. It is a very rare Gift, as only Silver Fang of Rank Six can obtain it. It grants the Garou the power to right a grievous wrong to Gaia’s natural cycle: an undead creature can be returned to the earth with a single glance. Roll the Garou’s Gnosis resisted by the opposing vampire’s Willpower, both difficulty eight, and spend three permanent Gnosis points. If successful, the vampire dies and his body is reduced to its true stage of putrefaction: a neonate may turn into a months-old corpse, while an elder will be reduced to wind-blown ash. This can also be used against a mummy. It will not “kill” the mummy, but only force him into a dead season of sleep.

Source: Player’s Guide 1st Edition (WW3202), Page 43

Version II:

　One of the most potent powers available to the Garou, this Gift allows the correction of a grievous wrong to the natural cycle of Gaia. The undead, whose very existence is an affront to the natural order of things, wither and crumble to dust when struck by the power of this Gift. Whether the undead is a shambling, month-old animated corpse or an ancient vampire, the Fang can destroy it with but a glance.

　Only an avatar of Helios or Gaia Herself can teach this Gift.

　System: The Garou and the victim enter into a resisted contest of Gnosis versus Willpower (both difficulty 8). The Garou must then spend three permanent Gnosis points to activate the wrath of Gaia. If the Garou wins the contest, the vampire (or other undead) is reduced to its natural state: Elder vampires turn to dust, whereas freshly exhumed corpses simply lose their animation. This Gift forces mummies into a dead season of sleep but does not destroy them.

If the Garou wins the contest, the undead is reduced to its natural state - fresh corpses simply lose their animation, whereas an elder vampire would crumble to dust. Mummies are simply banished to a season of sleep. The Garou must spend one Gnosis for every hundred years (or fraction thereof) the undead has existed in its unnatural state; should the target’s age exceed the Garou’s capacity to spend Gnosis points, permanent Gnosis may be sacrificed to account for 500 years of age per dot spent.

Stargazers


Thought-Form of the Twelve Ministers (Mantra)

　The spoken mantra for this Gift is Aum-ka-la-rim-sa-ka-la-rim-ha-ka-la-rim. This Gift allows a Stargazer to attain true spiritual balance for a single moment. In that moment, all extreme desires and impure emotions are blasted away by an unmitigated blast of the Self. A startling crackle of energy travels like lightning to each of the Stargazer’s chakra points. It only lasts for a second, and then it is gone. But in its wake, the Stargazer is left empowered and burning with a halo of pale green light. There is only a handful of Stargazers who have ever been worthy enough to learn this Gift, and it can only be taught by an avatar of Chimera.

　System: The player spends a single temporary point of Gnosis, Rage, and Willpower. For the remainder of the scene, the Garou gains a series of Trait bonuses: +2 to Perception, +3 to Enigmas, +3 to Empathy, and +2 to Brawl. There are two other benefits as well. First, any Garou standing within ten feet of the Stargazer using this Gift find that their temporary Gnosis pools are suddenly refreshed. Also, this Gift burns out any corruption that was contained in the werewolf grasping the power. Hence, any Wyrm-taint that the character had thus disappears.

Uktena


Becoming Uktena

　The legends of the Cherokee say that a man was transformed into the Great Uktena to try to kill the sun. Great Uktena was around long before the Cherokee, but Garou have taken the form of his children on two or three occasions. Great Uktena teaches this Gift only to the most worthy of his Uktena followers; with it, the hero may transform into a creature even a Thunderwyrm would fear. After the crisis is resolved (assuming he lives), the new uktena slips into the nearest body of water and into the umbra, forever parting with his Garou brethren to join his father in Galunlati. Such a glorious end to an already legendary career is worthy of fireside retellings for generations.

　System: Once taught the Gift, the Uktena may call upon it at any time by invoking Great Uktena. The initial stage of the transformation takes three full turns, during which the werewolf’s body grows and changes to a 20 foot horned serpent. The new uktena still retains the personality of the Garou at this point. After a period of time (usually no more than a scene), the final stage of the transformation begins as the mind of the Garou recedes and the uktena mindset takes over. The spirit creature heads unerringly towards the nearest source of water wide enough to encompass its diameter (not necessarily its whole bulk). As it slides into the water and crosses the Gauntlet, the transformation is complete; the hero’s former pack had best treat this uktena like any other of its kind.

Bastet




Tribes



Bubasti


The Fleeing Scarab

　One of the Bubasti's most obscure tribal secrets, this Gift allows a cat to remove her soul, incarnate it, and send it out of harm's way while her body dies. The soul, which often takes the form of a flying scarab beetle, searches out an appropriate new host body, climbs into its mouth while it sleeps, and "lays" the old soul into the new host. The Bubasti who knows this forbidden secret (and less than eight such cats exist) is theoretically immortal, though such longevity is purchased in other beings' lives.

　System: Collecting the soul for transport requires three Gnosis points and a successful Manipulation + Occult roll (difficulty 8). Failure traps the soul in the body as it dies (although the Gift may be tried up to three times if the cat has enough time to do so). Once freed, the soul wings forth, searching for a host. It has 24 hours to find one before the soul-essence scatters. Once a host is found, the beetle climbs into his mouth and tries to take the body over. This “possession" demands an additional Gnosis point and a roll of the Bubasti's current Willpower at the time of her death. This roll's difficulty is the host's current Willpower + 3 (maximum 10). If successful, the Bastet takes over the body, retaining her old memories and the host's as well. If not, she can make one final try before her soul fades away forever.

　To retain command of the host, the cat makes weekly Willpower rolls against the host's original Willpower. Hence, the Bubasti rarely commandeer supernatural creatures or stubborn individuals, at least for long. After a lunar month has passed in one body, the host becomes a Bubasti with five points in the Past Life Background. Although all her previous Gifs are lost in the process, her memories remain intact. Thus, she knows where to learn them again later. A botch at any point in the use of the Gift sends the soul straight into the Oblivion spoken of by the Dead, so this magic is not lightly undertaken.
