Page of Cups

Heralding a happy surprise, the Page of Cups signals that a young man will render aid in the near future, to help clear your path of obstacles - reversed, your path forward by blocked and impeded by all manner of things.

 

And so it is with this card's magical ability.  By attuning to the card by giving off yourself and naming the Page (causing you 1 lhl of damage as a blood sacrifice, giving the Page a name that he will respond to, and naming what his area of Speciality is), one is able to then call him forth for assistance at a moment's notice.

To call forth the page, the bearer must hold the card, and say the name that they have given him, spend a point of Willpower, and then roll Resolve + Composure

Dramatic Failure: The card has been reversed and so is your intent.  The Page is summoned forth as a 3-dot Retainer but instead of assisting you, works to hamper you as best he can.

Failure: The Page requires payment before he assists you - and payment must be in blood.  Either the Page is not summoned, or you suffer a number of lhl of damage equal to the rating+1 of the Retainer that you wish the page to be.

Success: The Page is summoned as a Retainer, with an area of specialization as described when attuned, and a rating equal to successes rolled.  This rating can be increased by paying the Page in blood, suffering lhl equal to the difference.

Exceptional Success: The Page is delighted to serve, emerging as a 5-dot Retainer.  Seeing his enthusiasm to assist you, you gain the Steadfast Condition.

In all cases, the Page only lasts for the remainder of the Scene, and, if needed, has traits equal to a Rank 2 Ephemeral Entity with Power/Finesse/Resistance equal to his Retainer dots, with no Influences or Numina.
