Disquietism

Disquietism is a class of Transmutations. It covers the manipulation of the character’s own Disquieting aura, from driving animals into a rabid fury to quelling Disquiet entirely for a short while. It is used by those who follow or once followed the Stannum and Plumbum Refinements.

Transmutation Abilities

Second Edition

Externalise

The Promethean using this Alembic uses their grasp of Disquiet to manipulate it's external manifestations, such as the Wasteland.

• Safe Sojourn: The Promethean is able to deflect the wild energy of the wasteland, allowing safer passage for his allies.
• Maelstrom: The Promethean focuses the energy of the Wasteland to summon a storm to hinder enemies.
• Assault: The Promethean can direct the destructive energies of the Wasteland at a person.

Internalise

The Promethean has an enhanced sense of the effect of her Disquiet on others, and has learned to temper the effects for short periods of time.

• Temper: The Promethean is able to take the edge off of Disquiet, making it a little easier to resist.
• Soothe: The Promethean is able to soothe Disquiet where it has already manifested.
• Quell: The Promethean can attempt to overcome Disquiet entirely.

Redirect

The Promethean learns how to redirect the effects of the Disquiet onto other people, for either misdirection or to enflame their enemies.

• Scapegoat: The Promethean is able to touch someone and make them the focus of the Disquiet.
• Rabid Rage: The Promethean uses the Disquiet to cause an animal to attack the Scapegoat.
• Iago's Whisper: The Promethean influences another intelligent being already suffering Disquiet into attacking the scapegoat.

Weaponize

Whilst Disquiet is generally a bane of Promethean existence, those with access to this Alembic have learnt to wield it like a weapon.

• Tension: The Promethean feeds their Disquiet, intentionally provoking it in those around him to produce fear and anxiety.
• Vanquish: The Promethean capitalizes on their foe's fear to swiftly defeat them in combat, with their attacks causing them to flee before their wrath.
• Rampage: With every strike, the Promethean calls on the caustic power of the Flux inherent in Disquiet to easily break opponents, especially those touched by the Divine Fire.
