- Bacchanantes: Storm of Mother's Wrath: Turns a Bacchante into a force of nature. The Fury wielding this Gift causes a fearful dark hailstorm to erupt, even out of a clear sky; the Bacchantes, however, are not inconvenienced by the storm, and can move around and fight in it without difficulty. A Mammatus, a Wyld-spirit of the air, teaches this Gift.[96]
- Thousand Forms: As the Ragabash Gift.[97]
- The Temple of Artemis: Walk With Hades: Allows a Fury to enter the Dark Umbra. Since it is only used by the most ancient and respected Black Furies, it is used only in the most extreme circumstances and few punishments have come down onto those forced to use it. A Gift only allows to be in the Dark Umbra for a single day to be available to find a lost loved one. These secrets have been passed down by Persephone's servitor spirits and aged Garou to the present day.[98]
- Wyld Warp: A desperate tactic at best, this Gift summons a number of Wyld-spirits. What they do when they arrive is wholly unpredictable. A Wylding teaches this Gift.[99]
