Talons of Shadow (Intermediate Abyss Mysticism Ritual)
The Abyss is a cold place that drains those living of their life force to feed its endless emptiness. An Abyss Mystic learns to channel this power through their hands and affect others who may know nothing of the Abyss. The Mystic must recite the ancient words of power in Sumerian and dips their hands into a nearby shadow. The shadow becomes like liquid and once they pull their hands from it and complete the ritual; vicious talons of shadow grace their form for a time.
System: After the character casts this ritual they gain thick black shadow talons on their hands. These Talons grant the physical trait Sharp x2. In addition all attacks made with the talons also cause the victim to lose 1 temporary willpower in addition to the characters normal damage per strike. These Talons last a scene or an hour.
Side Effect: after use of this ritual the character is down two traits in all willpower challenges for the remainder of the night.
