Reaching into the pleasure centers of a willing creature’s mind and soul, granting the creature’s ecstatic visions, immense pleasure and a sense of communion with the otherworld. In fact, this Numen is a low-level possession, a melding of ephemera and soul carefully steered by the spirit to elicit primal responses from the target. For one turn, the victim is completely incapacitated — perhaps babbling in the Spirit Tongue, dancing or even growling. For a number of hours after this effect (8 – Stamina), the victim feels charged and sure of her devotion to the spirit’s cause, receiving +2 on any roll when acting in accord with her ravisher’s desires. All other dice pools are at –2. Unfortunately, such intimate contact with an alien mind can cause damage to the target’s psyche. If the target fails a Resolve + Supernatural Tolerance roll, she gains a temporary derangement for a number of days equal to the spirit’s Power, or until she is no longer under the effect of this Numen, whichever is longer. The derangements that result are almost always ones that further bind the victim to spirit’s desires (fxations, compulsions, and so on.) Alternately, and depending upon circumstance, the Storyteller may rule that this act is effectively a Level 4 Sin. Furthermore, victims begin to build up a tolerance to the Numen, dropping the duration of the effect (halving the time for each rapture experienced in the same month). Each exposure to this Numen lowers the resistance to any of the spirit’s other powers, a cumulative –1, maximum –5; these penalties fade at a rate of one per day. This Numen costs two points of Essence and may only be used if the spirit is on this side of the Gauntlet and touching the target or with the Reaching Numen.
