Assimilate
The Path of Soul Bonding • Level 5
Souls and wraiths are vital to the Giovanni economy, but they are useful for more than just powering Dark Vessels and Deathly Devices. For a talented necromancer, wraiths can be consumed utterly, turning their pathos into blood and absorbing their corpus into your own flesh.
Focus
Manipulation
You can utilize Assimilate twice in the course of a single evening. However, you cannot benefit from two uses of Assimilate at the same time. If you utilize Assimilate a second time the benefits of the first usage are immediately lost.
System
You may bind a wraith within you instead of within an object. This is a special form of possession which you maintain control over, despite being the host. Spend a point of Blood and your standard action to initiate the bond, targeting either a visible wraith or one you have imprisoned in a Dark Vessel or Deathly Device. If the wraith is unwilling, you must succeed in an opposed challenge. If you succeed, the wraith possesses your body rendering any Dark Vessel or Deathly Device it previously possessed inert, and you may choose one of the wraith’s discipline specializations (if the wraith does not have additional discipline specializations, all wraiths have access to the first 2 dots of Dementation). You may utilize any level of the chosen discipline specialization for the next hour, after which the power ends and the wraith is freed. You must still adhere to any restrictions or conditions of that power, such as requiring Gaze and Focus when using Dread Gaze and cannot use it during Celerity rounds. Both you and the wraith must pay any costs in Blood and Pathos associated with the power. If one of you is unable to spend Blood or Pathos, you cannot use the power.
If you enter into torpor while this power is active, both you and the wraith are drawn into a Harrowing. The Storyteller will construct and run this scene based on your background. This may involve you remaining torpid beyond the current game session. During this time, you lose all awareness of your body, including that granted by the Awareness skill, and cannot reawaken until you have resolved the scene. However, your body can still be moved or destroyed. Once the scene is resolved, you enter a normal state of torpor.
You may only use this power once per evening, and you may only have a single wraith within your body at a given time. While assimilated, the wraith cannot escape or use the Possession power.
