Gravity

Numinous Corpus: Talons

Gravity

• Corporeal - This song allows the Singer to affect the weight of an object or person, increasing or decreasing it by up to 50% for every point of Essence spent. Weight cannot be reduced below 0. People whose weights are increased will be slower on their feet, reduce both Strength and Agility by every 50% weight increases. People whose weights are decreased may leap great distances, or find acrobatic manuvers much easier. People whose weights are reduced to 0 will have trouble keeping in contact with the ground!

  The limit on this song is 100 lbs for every level of skill in the Song. Double the total essence cost, and the weight limit doubles, tripling the essence triples the weight limit, and so on.

  If the target is living, she may resist the effects with a Strength roll. Note that objects don't have their mass changed, so while sufficient Essence can allow Granny McCormick to throw a Buick, it's going to be hurled very, very slowly.

• Ethereal - This song allows the singer increase or decrease the importance of a person or object. If the Target is human, observers who fail a Perception roll will react to her as if her status were increased or decreased by half the check digit, rounding up. If the target is an object, the results are less specific. A used car suddenly becomes the most desirable one in the lot. A bolt may become the only bolt neccesary to keep a tire on. A die becomes the luckiest die in the bag. Or alternately, heart medicine may wind up being left at home and forgotten.

  A living target may resist with Will, if he wishes.

• Celestial - This allows the Singer to change the direction Gravity pulls on himself at will. This allows the singer to run up walls, and across ceilings, and even allows a very crude flight ability, as the singer plunges and tumbles through the air. Flying with this ability is not reccomended, aa the singer cannot hover, can barely control his speed, and will likely slam into things hard if he tries to manuver! Gravity will still pull the performer with the same strength, whatever direction he chooses. The singer may carry with him weigt equal to 10 lbx x Cel Forces, and when the song's duration elapses, the singer feels the full effects of Normal gravity, however painful they may be.

  All three songs last minutes equal to the check digit plus the performer's appropriate type of Forces. The ranges of the Corporeal and Ethereal versions are equal to the Performer's Skill, in yards.

Essence Requirement: 1

Degree of Disturbance: The Check Digit

	" Corp Gravity can be vicious. Make a person weightless outside, and a sungle step can send him skyward. That, and many humans feel sick in zero-gee. The results are often...messy. "
	" If you're thinking of trying to fly with Celestial Gravity alone, forget it. The song makes its singer markedly adept at smearing himself all over the landscape. Hyperbole. Judicious use of both the Corporeal and Celestial songs of gravity can make for a ride only somewhat more bumpy than Corporeal Motion, though likely far slower."

Numinous Corpus: Talons

• Often considered an "Angelic" version of Numinous Corpus: Feet, The Song of Talons has one overt difference, and a few of subtle ones. The song turns your feet to razor-sharp talons, like those of birds of prey. The transformation manifests from the knees down, complete with feathers. The knees also bend backwards when the Talons are active, making for a very odd-looking walking and running gait. For grasping purposes, the Talons can function as another set of hands, though they are by no means as nimble as fingers. The Power of this ability is equal to its level, with a maximum Power of +4.

  The Song lasts a number of hours equal to the check digit.

Essence Requirement: 1

Degree of Disturbance: None

"Word to the wise: Don't try to bring Talons active while running after someone. It's hard enough running down Demons without havind to deal with your knees suddenly bending the wrong way."
