Embrace the Darkness
By Paul Harris (paul.harris1@virgin.net) for the Shadow Folk
Level Five Black Spiral Dancer Gift
Description
This gift is available only to Shadow folk and is only taught to a handful of Garou per generation. The user is able to tap into a sort of mystical subconscious library, the very source of the assorted dark powers. The user opens a mental portal which only she can see and then calls forth an entity at random which she may speak with. The entity answers any questions asked to the best of its knowledge (which on average is pretty vast). And must carry out any orders given before returning to its "home". Many powers can be learnt in this way and many jobs done. All questions must be specific and all orders must have a specific goal. Such as "where does the Antedeluvian named Gangrel lay?" "Kill the President for me." "How can I find out about the path of weather magic?". The entities are only too willing to obey and will act to the letter but must have locations and personal items of people/things they must kill/do things to. Each window lasts five minutes. To open the window requires a Willpower roll (difficulty 8) and the calling is automatic. The entities will carry out their orders any way they see fit but will keep to their bond. Upon learning this gift the user swears that in twelve years time he will teach this gift to a new Dancer and enter the "shadow library" himself to become one of the entities for Eternity. Twelve years is quite a long time when the world is yours. Overuse of this gift results in premature cancellation of the contract. On average once every few months is the most. Only someone who knows this gift may teach it.
