Omens of the Skybound

Description: The Gifts of the Raven are of Knowledge and Trickery. A scavenger who rarely lands the killing blow, but moves through both the dark and the light to learn and take what is needed.

Taught by: Raven, Crow

Name: Enemy Ways

Level: Basic

Cost: 1 Gnosis

Duration: Instant

Flavor:

Effect: The Corax is aware of the number of people present in a city block they are touching and their location within 20 feet. This does not provide information about their identity or capacities, nor does it allow the Corax to target a person who is obfuscated or otherwise cloaked, merely for them to know that they are present and in what room. This follows Auspex vs. Obfuscate rules; (ie. if the target has a higher amount of Obfuscate than the users Rank then this power fails. If the targets are equal then there is a challenge. If lower, then Enemy Ways just works.)

________

Level: Advanced

Cost: 1 Gnosis

Flavor: The Dead may know what the living do not. The Corax may look into their lingering soul to learn what secrets they hold.

Effect: Eat a deceased’s eyeball. See the last five minutes before their death, ask up to Rank in questions per use. This works even if there is no wraith. The dead cannot refuse to answer. The corax may at any point in the night, transmit the last moments to another being.

_______

Flavor: The sly Talon of the Raven steals not only knowledge but the powers of his foe.

The power remains stolen until the Corax is killed or steals a new power.
