Minimum Shadow Potency 4
The Kindred in some domains are constantly on the lookout for embodied Strix, watching for the signs of possession. This power allows a Strix to spread that doom out to deserving victims with a touch, turning the hunters against themselves.
Action: Instant
Cost: 2 Vitae
Dice Pool: Power + Finesse vs. victim’s Stamina
If successful, the victim (who must be touched by the Strix during the action) becomes cursed with an illusionary appearance of possession — the skin becomes waxy and corpse- like, the eyes glow yellow when the light catches them. Even sunlight and fire do not appear to damage them (although the victim still takes damage, if she is a vampire.) The illusion lasts for the Strix’s Shadow Potency in nights. Attempts to create a further illusory appearance over the curse, with Obfuscate for example, are subject to a Clash of Wills.
