Stamina, and then roll the spirit6s 0illpower 1 2age,

difficulty of the local Gauntlet. he mortal can resist with a

0illpower 2oll. 3f the spirit is successful, the human crosses

he Gauntlet and is dragged into the 'mbra.Note: this harm only works one way. he spirit cannot use

ontrolling it completely. Spend one 4ssence and roll

0illpower 1 Gnosis, subtracting the animal6s 0illpower from

he limit of the animal6s physical abilities. he host can

lost possessions, old friends, and familiar places

Blasthis charm allows ghost/spirit to direct their ange

opponents from a distance. (epending on the ghost/spthis effect may take different forms. $n electricity-s

might hurl small thunderbolts at its foes, a nature s

might summon swarms of insects, the ghost of a

soldier could fire a spectral re#ol#er or a pain-spirit mcon!ure raor blades. No roll to hit the intended targ

necessary and the ghost/spirit suffers no penalties on ca

shots. $ spirit rolls it6s 2age, a ghost it6s Gnosis, but

lethal damage may be inflicted. he spirit may add twoto this damage roll for e#ery additional point of 4ssen

peak using the #ictim6s #ocal cords for a single turn. $t the

nd of the turn the #ictim suffers a single point of bashingdamage due to the strain of contact. 3f the ghost wishes to
