(no subject)

It's midly depressing. I'm here for another two hours, and I'm only one of two people here, with the other one across the hall. Also, she's leaving in about thirty minutes, and she's the last one with a key, so I'll be completely locked in the office. Yes, I could rig the lock, but I don't like to, because on the off chance something did happen, I'd lose my job. It ain't worth it. :)

Besides, it's more just that it's kinda lonely and quiet being here all by myself.

On the bright side, I have gaming tonight. Yay gaming. :) On the downside, it's raining and I left my umbrella somewhere strange and forgotten. It was only drizzling when I walked down here, but it's looking like it's not going to stop, and only be worse when I have to go back. Good thing I don't have my bookbag with me, or my papers would get soaked.

Also, LJ-admin-type-people. Love the April Fool's Day joke, even if it did make me wonder if I was on drugs for a moment.

[In Nomine] A Few Servitor Attunements

Trade

Full Disclosure

This attunement is most often given to Servitors and Soldiers who are in positions of directly opposing Greed. For 2 Essence, they can make any written contract reveal all hidden clauses, loopholes, misrepresentations, or omissions that render the trade badly unbalanced. This /does/ reveal the hidden clauses of Mammon's Balseraphs! However, Servitors with this attunement have also been known to use it in conjunction with Divine Contract in order to convince another party that they are playing fair.

Nightmares

Dread

With a Will roll, a demon possessing this attunement can shake a target's certainty and distract them with a baseless but pervasive fear. The target may resist with a Will roll, but if they fail, all skill, performance, and attribute target numbers are reduced by one, including resonance attempts, for minutes equal to the demon's Ethereal Forces. Elohim and Malakim add their Ethereal Forces to resist this attunement. Seperate uses of this attunement do not stack, but it may stack with the effects of other attunements, Songs, or the Habbalite resonance.

Dreams

Dream Refuge

This attunement allows a Servitor of Dreams to temporarily claim certain bits of the Marches as their own. By spending 3 Essence, the angel will set itself as Domain controller of a space of Marches with a radius of its Ethereal Forces in yards, for a number of minutes equal to its Dream-Shaping (or Dreaming) skill. The true owner of the Domain /may/ resist this intrusion, with a Contest of Dream-Shaping rolls. If they fail or choose not to resist, within that area the angel is considered to have all the Domain controller bonuses and benefits, and the true owner of the Domain is treated like a visitor. Blandine will not resist an angel using this in her Vale, unless the angel is being actively hunted by Heaven, Beleth will /always/ contest it, and win (and the unlucky angel may get her personal attention!). Humans or Ethereals may contest on an individual basis.

The Waters

Mistform

For the cost of 2 Essence, an Angel of the Waters can dissolve their vessel into mist. While in this form, they can maneuver through any barriers that are not water-tight, and most corporeal attacks do not affect them, with the exception of fire-based attacks. In mist form, the angel moves at his normal rate of speed, but can be frozen in place, although neither being frozen nor subsequently shattered actually /harms/ them. The effect lasts for minutes equal to the angel's total Forces, or can be dismissed prematurely with a Will roll. They can take damage if they revert to vessel in a space too small or shaped wrongly to contain them!
