White Wolf Wiki

Darkness is a set of affinity Gifts for Forsaken to use darkness to strike at prey or foes. These Gifts are taught by nocturnal creatures (such as foxes, owls or bats), as well as some Irralunim - though a non-Irraka will need to offer plentiful chiminage.

Powers[]

  • Darksight: This Gift allows a werewolf in human form to see perfectly in the dark.
  • Aura of Dread: A werewolf who knows this Gift has an edge beyond the obvious. The darkness hides many things, and through subtle spiritual urging onlookers worry about what will follow her out of the shadows. The darkness may conceal the rest of her pack, or she could be a harbinger of a far deadlier threat.
  • Shadow Step: This Gift allows a werewolf to play on the fear of the dark, letting him slip from one patch of Shadow to another to confuse prey - or predators - as to his location.
  • Moonlit Talons: A character with this Gift can strike from concealment with incredible swiftness and power, like a beam of light that dispels the shadows around him. His claws leave faint contrails of darkness in the air behind them, as though they were sharp enough to slice through light itself, and once he has struck, the characters fades back into the darkness that concealed him to await his next victim.
  • Nightblind: Using this Gift on a target lets a werewolf reach into a human's head and turn the brightness right down, leaving the target blind.
