Echoes of Anthelios
The Path of Caelestikinesis • Level 5
The Red Star is a mysterious heavenly body which appeared on July 15, 1999, heralding a time of great trouble and turmoil. Known by many names ― Wormwood to the vampires, Anthelios to the werewolves, and the Eye of Balor to the fae ― the phenomenon was universally believed to be a sign of the End Times, specifically Gehenna for vampires. The final power of Caelestikinesis allows you to manipulate the residual energies of this event, focusing them on an individual and incapacitating her will through visions of her own doom.
Cost
1 Blood
Focus
Wits
Instead of losing the ability to spend Willpower for a retest, your target loses the ability to retest challenges. Merits such as Iron Will or Magic Resistance do not grant her the ability to retest.
System
Spend 1 point of Blood and your standard action to make an opposed challenge. If you succeed, your target’s fate becomes intertwined with the star of destruction and calamity. While affected by Echoes of Anthelios, your target cannot spend Willpower to retest challenges or achieve exceptional successes. However, if she has an ability that allows her to retest without spending Willpower, such as Iron Will or Magic Resistance, she may use those abilities to retest normally. If your target has an effect that automatically grants her an exceptional success, determine an exceptional success normally.
Echoes of Anthelios lasts for 5 turns. During this time, your target feels a foreboding sense of existential dread.
