A new Level 5 power for Outrage, that would seem to have been more of an oversight then anything else, I've called Poltergeist.
Level 5 Arcanos
Causes all objects in an area to violently move and swirl about. All objects not bolted down and of small enough weight will fly and swirl. Essentially the Wraith becomes enraged and directs all of his will and pathos into conjuring up a whirlwind which she directs through the violent writhings of her own body.
System: Strength + Outrage (difficulty = local Shroud unless affecting only objects in the Shadowlands where difficulty is only 4). Each success determines the size and intensity of the Poltergeist. 1 = little more then a dust devil. 5 = a room of 50 feet square being violently swept up in a whirling of debris and objects as large as heavy furniture. 10 = a major tornado force (300+mph). Area of effect = 10 feet square diameter per success. Duration is up to 1 turn per Stamina + Outrage (or less if desired).. Damage effects of debris determined by storyteller. Wraith who causes a Poltergeist is not harmed as she is at the eye of the storm, so to speak. The effect moves with the Wraith as she moves about an area.
Cost: 4 Pathos and 2 Willpower, 1 Pathos per additional turn continued beyond normal maximum duration.
