Purviews

Death 5

2 Corpse Eyes: The Scion looks a Corpse, Ghost or Undead in the Eyes and rolls Perception + Empathy or Investigation, and spend 1 Legend. Each Success may allow the Scion to see minute around the Corpses Death, before and after. This is real time so it is often more useful on a corpse while the Scion has time to stare ideally.

The Scion spends 1 Willpower and 1 Legend and the spirit may be anchored into the body. If placed into a corpse, mindless zombie, or prepared effigy/automaton then the 2 Legend and 1 Willpower. The spirit uses the higher of their own physical attributes or the bodies, and the spirit uses the bodies appearance, and uses their own mental and social attributes. Roll Manipulation + Medicine difficulty 2 for a living body or corpse that died within the scene, difficulty 3 for a corpse dead within the Month, add one Difficulty for each year past this up to a maximum of difficulty 8, for an effigy/automaton it is difficulty 6, and a difficulty 4 for one designed to be host to a spirit.

2 Ymir’s Blood: This Boon works only on liquid water, and a Scion can affect six cubic yards of water at a time per dot of Legend he has. (If she’s walking on water, she can affect one 30’ x 15’ rectangle on the surface per dot of Legend she has. The affected area supports only her and anything she can carry unaided.). The Scion may also harm vegetation in the same proportions as liquid water causing them freeze and desiccate. A Scion may freeze up to one Cubic yard of non-liquid material at a time per dot of Legend he has. This causes the physical objects to lose soak equal to the Scion’s Legend while frozen. The Scion rolls Stamina + Integrity and spends 1 Legend.
