Make one Rouse Check and spend your Standard Action while gesturing towards a target character within three steps of you. If you succeed in a contested challenge, a portion of your target's spirit is ripped from them, visibly dissolving in the air like dissipating smoke. Your target immediately loses three Willpower. This power gains no additional benefit from a critical win. Mortals who become Impaired by Withering Spirit immediately die of fright and cannot return as a Wraith.
