Your Azoth has been tapped, and a powerful Contagious entity is using it as fuel. This dims your Azoth and saps your sense of self, though there are some who would consider this a blessing. When rolling for Disquiet or Wasteland effects, count your effective Azoth rating as half of its full value (rounded up).
Every day at sunrise, roll a chance die. On a success, you regain Pyros as normal. On a failure, you do not regain Pyros for the sunrise. On a dramatic failure, you do not regain Pyros, and must immediately lose additional Pyros equal to your Azoth rating.
If this Pyros loss reduces your Pyros pool to zero, you must make an immediate roll as the victim of a lacuna (Promethean: The Created, p. 188), contested by the reaper’s Strength + Occult or Brawl (or Power + Rank or Azoth, in the case of ephemeral beings such as Colossus) as normal.
The reaper gains any Pyros or Vitriol Beats lost in this way immediately, siphoned via their Contagious connec- tion, with no opportunity to re-ingest the lost Vitriol.
Possible Sources: Recovering Pyros from a Contagious source; victim of the Eternal Feast Numina or Refinement. Resolution: Destruction or banishment of the Contagious entity (or, at Storyteller discretion, travel to a site free of Contagion). In addition, the Promethean must expend all available Pyros to trigger a Firestorm, eradicating their link to the Contagion. Beat: Not applicable.
