Larceny

Larceny
Guild	None
Status	Dark Arcanoi
Marking	None

Larceny is one of the Dark Arcanoi used by Spectres to prolong their existence in the Tempest by using Oblivion to strengthen their Corpus. It seems to be a twisted version of Usury.

A powerful art, Larceny is a dangerous risk for a Spectre as tampering with Oblivion can have dire circumstances. In addition, extensive use of Larceny attracts the attention of Malfeans who have little desire for more competition, and can even strengthen the fragments of the Psyche that still live on in the Spectre, possibly allowing the positive parts of the Spectre's being to grow more powerful and turn the Spectre back into a wraith.

• Weigh Oblivion: A Spectre can find the strength of Oblivion in a creature.
