What are the approved devotions out there? Found one from 2009: *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*
