Siddhi

 Purified Siddhi

Purified can learn various powers. Because of their connection with the Shadow Realm, they can learn some Spirit Numina. In addition, they also possess their own unique powers, known as Siddhi. All Siddhi come in groups of three that must be learned in order. To learn a three-dot Siddhi, purified must first learn the one and two-dot Siddhi in the same group. Purified begin play knowing four dots of powers, which can be either Siddhi or Numina. In all cases, one of these powers must be the projection Siddhi spirit projection.

Most Siddhi cost one or more points of Essence to activate. If the Siddhi requires more points of Essence than the character can spend in one turn, then the Siddhi requires multiple turns to activate. The roll to perform the Siddhi is only made and the effects of the Siddhi only manifest during the turn when the last point of Essence needed to activate the Siddhi is spent.
When purified use their connection to the Shadow Realm to bypass the normal limitations of distance, the most important feature of the location or person they are trying to observe or affect is how familiar the purified is with it. The actual distance between the target and the character is irrelevant. The only factor that matters is the type of mystical connection the character has with the target. It's far easier for one of the purified who is using such a power to spy on or affect objects in a location with which he is intimately familiar than to do the same with some location that the character has only had briefly described to him. Unfortunately the Purified are unable to use the Shadow Realm to target other Purfied. This ability only works for Purified Siddhi.

Magical Connection Between Caster and Target
- 0
Intimate: The purified has a piece of the target's physical substance, such as hair, nail clippings or blood from a person or animal, a leaf or flower from a plant, or a sliver of material from an object or building. Alternately, the character knows the target intimately. Examples include close friends, beloved pets, prized possessions, or locations like the character's home or a building the character has visited many times.
- 3
Known: The character has a personal possession belonging to the target. Alternately, the character can see the location on live video or hear the target over live audio or the character spent time with the target or visited the location more than once, for at least a few minutes each time.
- 5
Acquainted: The character has a photo or a detailed painting of the target or an object that the target once touched or that once resided in the target location. Alternately, the character once met or visited the target.



People, objects or places that are less familiar to the character lack a sufficient mystical connection for the character to be able to use this power to see, or visit them. The character cannot spy on a room that she has only heard a description of or affect a person that she briefly passed on a dark street.
