The spirit is very good at being overlooked. Perception rolls to notice the spirit suffer a –2 penalty. This Numen does not require a roll to activate and has no cost.

The entity causes terror in anyone who can see it. The Numen costs three Essence and activation is contested individually with Presence + Composure + Gnosis by anyone looking at the entity. Anyone gaining fewer successes than the entity is unable to move or speak for a turn. If the entity gains an exceptional success, the effect lasts three turns.

The entity can use Essence to heal bashing and lethal wounds on its Corpus. This Numen does not require a roll to activate, but costs one point of Essence and heals one point of bashing or lethal damage — the entity must reactivate the Numen each turn to heal more severe wounds. Bashing damage is healed first, then lethal.

The entity appears armored, and uses Resistance as its Defense score instead of the lower of Power or Finesse.

This Numen allows an entity to know the quickest route to a destination. The fastest route isn’t always the safest, of course; the Numen doesn’t reveal any dangers on the way, only a set of directions to the target. If the destination is the subject of the Safe Place Merit, the activation roll is contested by the lowest Resolve + Gnosis among any owners. The Numen costs one Essence and lasts for a scene. If the destination is too far away to reach that quickly, the entity must use the Numen again.
