Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

The Merit Iron Will is recommended.
*Once learned this Discipline is considered always active.* The user manifests an extension of their beast in the form of a hound into the astral realm. It has a silver cord with a rating of half the user's permanent will power rounded down. This cord has a maximum reach of 10 feet per point of permanent will power the user possesses. The Hound can perceive both the physical and astral planes, further the Hound has a telepathic link to the user and remains active and alert while the user sleeps.The user gains a +1 trait bonus on challenges to wake up during the day and during challenges involving surprise. If in combat, the Hound may make one attempt at the end of the round to attempt to strip a point of will power from a single target( The Hounds use the same traits as it's user ). This is done by the target making a simple challenge, only on a loss will the target lose a point of temporary will power. If the hound is attacked and it's silver cord is reduced to 1 will power or fewer the hound vanishes until the next sunset. While gone the user suffers from the negative trait submissive x2 for the remainder of the night.
