Purufied siddhi

Command Spirits and minds are closely related, and some purified learn to enhance the power of their minds to influence spirits and eventually mortals. Because of their ties to the Shadow Realm, purified find influencing and controlling spirits to be considerably easier than influencing living beings. Influence Spirit (•) The purified learns to influence the emotions of spirits. Influence Beasts and Mortals (••) The purified learns to influence the emotions of both mortals and normal animals. This ability can also be used to affect supernatural creatures with ties to the mortal world, like werewolves, vampires or other purified. This ability can also be used to influence ghosts, because they were once mortals. Command the Rebellious Spirit (•••) The purified can use this ability to control both spirits and ghosts.

Piercing the Distance The purified learns to use his connection to the Shadow Realm to short-circuit distance, first with his perceptions and then with her movement. Distant Vision (•) The purified can see and hear events happening around the target of this power as if she were physically present in this location. Ethereal Presence (••) Using this ability is almost identical to using distant vision, except that in addition to being able to simply observe and hear the target location, the purified can also create an illusory image of himself at this location. This image looks and sounds identical to the purified and moves just like the purified does. However, it is nothing more than a completely intangible image. Also, while it seems to move like the purified, its feet don’t actually touch the floor and it often floats a few inches in the air. Walking the Hidden Shortcut (•••) The purified has now learned to walk from one location to another by stepping halfway into the Shadow Realm. This type of travel carries the purified through the boundary between the mortal world and the Shadow Realm and greatly reduces distances. However, it is not particularly exact.

Projection The purified learns to project his mind and soul outside of his body. When doing this, the purified forms an ephemeral body that is completely solid and able to physically interact with the realm it is in as well as with objects and spirits that inhabit this inhuman world. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this same realm can also physically affect the purified’s ephemeral body. Damage done to this ephemeral body has no effect upon the purified’s physical body and heals at the same rate as normal Damage. Spirit Projection (•) The purified can project his mind into the Shadow Realm. All Purified know this power, having automatically learned it when they died and became the being they are now. Purified who did not learn this ability never made their way back to their body. Twilight Projection (••) The purified can project her mind into Twilight. Here, she can interact with both ghosts and spirits who are also in Twilight and can spy on the mortal world, unseen by anyone except supernatural beings and the few mortals who can perceive beings in Twilight. Because of the nature of their perceptions, all purified can clearly see and hear everything occurring in the portion of the mortal world corresponding to their location in Twilight, allowing purified who know this ability to be excellent spies. Underworld Projection (•••) The purified now learns to project her mind into the Underworld. While this mysterious realm is the natural home of ghosts, the partially inhuman nature of the purified’s mind makes the underworld an alien realm that it more difficult to enter than the Shadow Realm or Twilight.

Shifting The purified can use her affinity to the Shadow World to move her body close to, and eventually into, Twilight. Instead of simply being able to send her mind into Twilight, she can also eventually learn to move her body there. Tread Lightly (•) As the first step on learning to interact physically with the Twilight realm, the purified learns to transfer a portion of her weight there. Breaching Barriers (••) The purified learns to shift his body into Twilight for a brief instant. This allows the purified to walk through walls and similar barriers. Twilight Shift (•••) The purified learns to shift her body fully into Twilight. By doing so, she becomes completely invisible and intangible, and can physically interact with all ghosts and spirits in Twilight. She can also use this power to gain access to the interior of almost any building by walking into it in Twilight and then shifting back to the mortal world inside.

Spiritual Defense The purified learns to defend himself and others against attack by spirits, ghosts and other ephemeral beings. Unlike wardings, these Siddhi involve immediate actions purified can perform to drive away ephemeral attackers rather than creating a lasting protection. Exorcism (•) The purified can drive out a spirit or ghost inhabiting a person or object simply by touching the possessed individual. Exorcism can only be used to protect targets in the mortal world, since spirits cannot possess beings in Twilight or the Shadow Realm. Touch of Death or Life (••) The purified can either directly attack spirits and ghosts, damaging their corpus, or she can reverse this ability and heal their corpus. The purified can use both facets of this Siddhi in the mortal world as well as in Twilight, the Underworld and the Shadow Realm. Mass Banishing (•••) Purified can learn to banish ghosts and spirits en mass as well as individually; this power only works on spirits and ghosts that are either in Twilight or that are physically manifesting in the mortal world. It specifically does not affect spirits who are possessing individuals, since they have a firmer connection to the mortal world.

Summoning In addition to visiting the Shadow Realm, purified can also learn to call spirits and potentially even ghosts across the Gauntlet to do their bidding. Summoning Spirits (•) Purified who learn this ability can summon spirits from the Shadow Realm to his location. If the spirit is capable of materializing into the mortal world, it does so; otherwise, it remains in Twilight at the desired location. The purified can either summon a specific spirit or send out a general call to the nearest spirit of a particular type, such as tree spirits, or spirits of electricity. Alternately, the purified can simply call upon the nearest spirit of the desired power level. When calling a specific spirit, this ability is limited by the fact that the spirit cannot travel farther than the maximum distance it is allowed to travel from its Anchor. Summon the Wandering Shade (••) Purified can use this power to summon ghosts either from Twilight or the Underworld. The purified can summon a specific ghost or she can either ask for the nearest ghost to appear or the nearest ghost of a general type, like children or murder victims. Call Spirit (•••) The purified can instantly summon any spirit she knows or any type of spirit with which she is familiar. The distance between the purified and the spirit does not matter, regardless of where it was before, it instantly appears in front of the purified. The purified cannot use this Siddhi to summon ghosts.

Warding The purified learns to construct wards that protect areas against various sorts of creatures and powers. Ward Against Supernatural Beings (•) This ward is designed to prevent spirits, ghosts, and similar beings from other realms from affecting the warded area and anyone or anything inside it. There are two forms to this ward, and the purified can only use one of these at a time on any single location. Locations cannot be simultaneously protected by both types of wards. Ward Against Magic (••) This ward protects the space and people inside it from all forms of magic and other supernatural powers, including werewolf Gifts, vampire Disciplines, spirit Numina and all similar powers. Ward Against The Living (•••) This ward prevents all living or once-living creatures, including humans and animals, as well as partly human beings like werewolves and once-human beings native to the mortal world like vampires or other purified. The purified can create a ward designed to only protect against certain general types of beings, like only vampires or only human children. However, it is impossible to ward an area against “enemies” or some other similarly vague category. Also, when creating this warding the purified can specify up to two dozen named individuals who can freely enter and leave the warded area.
