The idigam may touch a werewolf and, with a Power + Finesse roll contested by the victim’s Resolve + Composure + Primal Urge, tear the soul free and replace it with a spirit or soul of the idigam’s choice. If it replaces the werewolf’s soul with a spirit, this immediately creates an Empty Wolf, a unique type of Claimed that retains some of the Uratha’s supernatural abilities. If the idigam does this with a soul, the werewolf suffers the persistent Madness Condition.
An Empty Wolf follows the usual rules for a Claimed with the following exceptions:
• An Empty Wolf retains the Uratha’s senses, shapeshift- ing, and regeneration.
• It retains all Gifts, Facets, and Renown brands, but can no longer gain any new ones.
• It retains the ability to perform rites and use fetishes and talens.
• An Empty Wolf no longer treats silver as a bane. Instead, it takes on the idigam’s own bane, which has all the effects of silver.
