Wereraven Supernatural Merits

Pack Totem (••)

Prerequisites: Pack •••••, Pack Territory (Territory Locus ••)
Effect: Your spiritual presence is strong enough to have attracted a minor spirit who acts as the spiritual guardian and patron of your pack. It feeds on the particular resonance of your pack, and tends to be associated with lupine or lunar themes, although packs with distinctively strong themes or goals may attract spirits appropriate to those elements. This is a Rank 2 spirit.

Rites (• to •••••)

Prerequisites: Primal Urge •
Effect: You can perform Rites, those acts of magical interaction with the spirit world that creatures of Essence can learn to master. Your rating in this Merit determines the maximum rank of Rite you can perform. Each dot gives you knowledge of a single Rite of that level.

Shadow Sight (••)

Prerequisites: Primal Urge •, Occult ••
Effect: Wereravens in their visceral manifestations are very sensitive to the emanations of the spirit world, allowing them to peer into Shadow at the site of a locus or into Twilight elsewhere. With this Merit, you need not be in visceral manifestation to do so. You are able to see into Shadow at a locus (or Twilight elsewhere) in human form. This happens automatically upon arriving at a locus, but requires "shifting vision" to peer into Twilight. You may shift your vision and focus exclusively on one or the other realm with a Wits + Occult roll, at a penalty equal to that inflicted by the local Gauntlet.
Drawback: As usual, focusing between the world of men and Shadow is disorienting, inflicting a -2 penalty to all Perception rolls, as well as any Wits-based rolls. You may spend 1 Essence to ignore this penalty for one scene.
