Cleansing Flame

Rank 5 Planetary Gift (Katanka-Sonnak)

The Garou can pinpoint an area (or an individual) and set the target ablaze with an intense and purifying flame that rages for 60 seconds and then dies out completely. The fire can burn out all Wyrm-taint or human-made pollution from an area or cleanse an individual (provided the victim survives) of Wyrm-taint. The fire does not spread beyond the target area or person and cannot be quenched by normal means. For instance, if the Garou targets a house occupied by a Pentex official, the fire blazes through the house destroying any vestige of the Wyrm’s corruption and leaving untouched anything not tainted by the Wyrm.

System: The player sacrifices a permanent point of Rage and rolls her Willpower. The difficulty is 8 to affect an area; the area cannot be larger than a large house. To target an individual, the difficulty of the Willpower roll equals the victim’s Willpower. Living or undead creatures set on fire must roll their Stamina (difficulty 9) or die from the shock. The flame destroys fomori utterly; Black Spiral Dancers who survive the Stamina roll must make Gnosis rolls, difficulty 9, or lose their Wyrm-taint and its accompanying Derangement. Such purified Garou are stripped of all Rank and Gifts; they may well fall again to corruption, but they are given a second chance.

A failure on the Willpower roll indicates that the Garou fails to activate the Gift (and the permanent Rage point is not expended after all), while a botch inflicts one unsoakable health level of aggravated damage on the wielder (and the permanent Rage point is still lost).
