My custom devotion application was just approved for play. Once I learn it I will make sure it is available to others that may want this very... very useful yet specialized devotion:
*Sylvio's Echos of Ether (Cattiveria ***, Vigor *)* *Through the centuries the Sangiovanni have practiced the art of necromancy. Many within the family ranks focus near exclusively on this dark and forbidden art. None more so though, than those of the families own black ring. Through intense study and practice, founding family of the dark coven of necromancers have learned to draw forth bits of the ethereal world of spirits. In the spirit world lies echos of the real world, especially those echoes that involve the most violent of actions. Through a combination of drawing forth that violence tainted ether, and the subtle visual hallucinations provided by Obfuscate, the Necromancer may "play back" the echoes of violence and death in the living world. These echoes though, were never meant to be seen by either man or vampire... nor any being that still clings to life, no matter how close to death they may be.* *Cost*: 1v (per minute of the image to be replayed) and 1w per draw *Dice pool:* Strength + Crafts + Cattiveria *Action*: Extended Through raw immortal strength the necromancer pulls forth from the world of the dead a portion of ethereal substance, manipulating and empowering it. Rather than molding it for use in healing though, the Necromancer leaves the ether half way between the worlds, visible here and still writhing it's echoes of violence and death on the other side. These images though, the mind shattering visage of death itself spilling through were never meant to be viewed. Not by those still alive. At the time of activation, the ether will replay the scene of death that is stored within it. The images of those involved are hazy and obfuscated by their own beasts. Visions of their beasts captured along with their own visage, overlayed. The more ones beast has hold over them the less distinguished and more monstrous their features are. The images coming through are hazy, blurred by the entropic consuming force of the afterlife, a snarling hungry ever shifting bestial image. The echo scene lasts for 1 minute per success drawn and does not capture sound, it is purely visual. The time starts from the moment of death; the killing blow and works itself backwards in minutes. This is where the scene would then begin its "playback". Upon activation of the devotion, those in its presence are immediately made aware of what is about to happen (a window into death will be revealed). Swirling ethereal forms flit about, none truly distinguishable, none capable of interaction (they are not ghosts or spirits, just ether). Those wishing at that time, to look deeper into the visage of death will be made aware, every minute they choose to focus and watch the scene replay, they suffer a lethal wound. This will allow them to see the scene, but not make out clearly who is involved, their beast being all that is visible. Optionally, a viewer can open themselves fully to the image, witnessing the horror for what it really is. By accepting an aggravated damage for every minute they watch the scene, they can see the images clearly, unobstructed by the beast. Anybody may stop viewing at anytime they wish, only suffering the damage for the amount of time they have viewed the scene (Damage occurs at the start of each minute). One cannot be compelled supernaturally to view the scene, it must be done of your own free will. Those not focused on the scene are unobstructed by the wisp-like display and are unaware of its vision. The devotion activator must stay for the period of the entire vision taking the damage for the entire duration. If the spiritual resonance/echoes have been masked through devotions such as Scramble or Cleansing Impressions, the extended draw is contested by the number of successes drawn on the before mentioned devotions. *XP Cost: 12* -Jason Orman Sylvio Sangiovanni US2005075728 On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 6:11 PM, Dragon on Demand <[email protected]> wrote: > > Clint passed mine to Global without question as well though after he read > the rather long winded debate at Domain and Regional level.. well that > might > explain that :) > > Best of Luck! > > Robert Brawn > Us2002023243 > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Valdier" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 6:01 PM > Subject: [OOC Sangiovanni] Re: My custom devotion is at global > > > > Actually, I just looked and Clint has passed it up to top without any > > questions or changes at all... that is a pretty good sign.
