Bhairava

By Diane Keating Sciacca (wolfinblack@pagan.net) for the Keepers of the Silver Flame

Level Four Salamander Camp Keepers of the Silver Flame Gift

Description

As the Garou dances wildly, chants a mantra to Shiva and pulls terrible expressions, a halo of red and silver fire surrounds her body. She takes on a dark and terribly vengeful aspect and causes all witnessing her dance to flee in terror that can last for days. Note that the Garou's compatriots are not immune unless they have taken Shiva as their totem! This Gift is taught by a spirit servant of Shiva.

System: Burn a Gnosis point to activate the flames (sorry, bad pun) and roll Manipulation + Expression (difficulty 6). Those gazing upon this tableau must roll Willpower (difficulty 9) or behave as "Panic" on the Delerium chart. Garou will Fox Frenzy. A botch on this roll will render the victim Catatonic; a botch on the character's part will spark memories of when they learnt this Gift and she will suffer Catatonic. This Gift works in any form, not just Crinos.
