Absorb Fetish |
Unclassified |

Access Caern |
Unclassified |
Spirits may usually not access caerns from the Umbra. This Charm allows the spirit to access the fundamental nature of the caern (eg. Wisdom, Enigmas, etc.) to facilitate other Charms. The Firebirds (See Falcon's Brood) use this Charm to remotely access their Light Web through Wisdom and Enigmas caerns. Power cost is 6. |
|
Acquisition |
Unclassified |
This Charm allows a spirit to 'borrow' a small item from the material world. If the spirit successfully rolls her Gnosis, she may choose to acquire an item near her. The object disappears from the material world and appears fully in the Umbra. At the end of the scene, the object returns to the physical world. If the object is moved (or hidden) in the Penumbra while the Charm is in effect, it will reappear in the corresponding place in the physical world. (Note that the spirit might be able to Reform somewhere else and take the object far away!) The ability only works on inanimate objects no larger than a suitcase. The Power cost depends on the size of the object acquired: A handful of coins or a stack of dollar bills costs 1 Power, anything the size of a hat costs 2, and a suitcase costs 3. |
|
Agony |
Specialty |
The spirit can attempt to incapacitate a creature by magnifying its pain. The creature incurs double the dice pool penalties from its wounds. If the target attempts to take an action with a dice pool smaller than this penalty, he or she must burn a Willpower point to make the attempt. Even simple actions can take great effort while this charm is in effect. Since this is a combat ability, the duration is 1 round. The Power cost is 3. |

Airt Sense |

Assess Character |
Unclassified |
This Charm allows the spirit to evaluate the general strength of a character in an individual. The spirit rolls Gnosis (diff 7); the number of successes indicates how accurately it may evaluate a subject. A Garou's moral character might be reflected in his Nature or Renown; Storytellers should have a fairly good feel for how noble or base any given character (player or not) is. |

Blood Sucking |
Unclassified |
This Charm allows the spirit to suck blood from a target and gain Power from it. The spirit must enter combat with its victim, and gains 1 Power point per 5 points of damage inflicted. If the victim is a vampire, the damage is subtracted from Blood Points instead of Health Levels. This Charm costs 3 Power. |

Break Wind |
Unclassified |
This Charm allows a spirit to release a rich, pungent gas from an orifice (usually the rear one). All who smell this (it's thick enough to be visible as a floating cloud of roiling, greenish gas) must make a Willpower roll or choke on it, falling to the ground or running away, desperate for fresh air. The radius is initially 3 yards around the spirit, and then the cloud travels windward for 3 turns. If the victim is a Shifter who cannot escape the area of effect, she must roll to resist frenzy. This costs 5 Power. |

Crystallize |
Unclassified |
This Charm is possessed only by Crystal Spirits. The spirit is able to transform part of a creature's substance into crystallized matter. The spirit makes a Rage roll against the target's Willpower. Each success inflicts one Health Level of Aggravated damage as a portion of the target's body becomes crystalline and brittle. Garou can attempt to soak this damage by rolling Gnosis (difficulty 6). Only the gift: Mother's Touch or some other form of magical healing will restore the crystallized portion of a creature's body to its original form. If a target loses all of its Health Levels to this form of attack, it becomes a crystal statue of itself and dies unless it can be healed of at least 3 Heath Levels within 24 hours. Power cost is 4. |

While the target is asleep, the spirit can intride on his dreams.

This is a lesser form of the Charm: Corruption. The spirit can convey a sensory image and suggest that the target pursue it. If the target resists, the spirit rolls its Gnosis against a resisted roll of the target's Willpower. Any sense can be used, so the target could be asked to seek out a flashing light, a cold place, a cu of warm tea, a patch of rabbit fur, or a bottle of perfume. Although the involuntary effect of the charm lasts for one scene, the target can still hold the image in his mind if he wants to pursue it further. The Power cost is 1. |
