UTTERANCES

UTTERANCES CAN BE TERMINATED EARLY BY SPENDING 1 WILLPOWER POINT. OTHERWISE THE MAGIC ENDURES. CAN UNLEASH UTTERANCES EVEN IF THEY CANT SPEAK.

AWAKEN THE DEAD
Tier 1: Must touch target, bathing them in the nimbus of Sekhem. Roll Manipulation + Occult. If the corpse's skull is not intact, -5 to roll. Body can now answer questions with yes or no.
Tier 2: By word and touch, he causes a mostly intact human corpse to rise and serve him as a Lifeless monstrosity. Creature has no real mind or recollection of itself. It exists only to drag others into death, hunting down and killing all people it encounters unless preempted by its creator's orders.
Tier 3: Can resurrect the dead, touching a human or the space occupied by a manifesting ghost. The fused remains transmute to living flesh, generating back to perfect health. Such a miracle cannot last. After Memory + Sekhem hours pass, the resurrected mortal's body suddenly crumbles to dust and unravels into the great beyond, leaving no trace of them.

CHTHONIC DOMINION
Tier 1: Mummy conjures small blue orb that illuminates a three yard radius with a glow that reveals ghosts as if they were manifested and further endows the dead with speech and communication.
Tier 2: Arisen can command ghosts, but it must be a single concept "defend this tomb." Roll the Arisen's Presence + Intimidation, subtracting the ghost' Resistance or Composure. If successful, the ghost must obey the best of its abilities what is ordered.
TIER 3: Arisen reshapes a lost soul. The mummy targets a ghost or revenant she can perceive or a known ghost's anchors at the time of unleashing. Roll Manipulation + Occult, sub racing ghost's Resistance or Resolve. Each rolled success allows the mummy to impose one of the following Morality ratings, remove all metaphysical connections to one anchor or annihilate they memories.

DUST BENEATH FEET
Tier 1: Mummy bonds with the earth for an hour. Afterwards, whenever she suffers falling damage she heals all damage by the fall. She can swim through any inanimate object made of earthen material. She can take an instant action commanding loose earthen material town stone like robes and garments of ancient egypty. Can swim through earthquakes or landslide without being harmed.
TIER 2: Earth assembles around the mummy. Her Size increases by Ka rating, increasing weight by 500 pounds per dot of Sekhem. Dee is penalized by half that amount. Armor turns to 3/4. Add Ka rating to Strength to mage. Can swim out of armor to leave a massive statue of herself.
Tier 3: The mummy unleashes incantations lasting three days straight. Any physical distractions make them start over. When the rite ends, the mummy rolls Strengthe + Occult and must gain exceptional success to begin the devastation. An earthquake centers on its creator at magnitude 6.0, realasinsg damage for 10 miles. This won't topple most buildings, but wreaks hook. Use the Earthquake condition for affecting ghosts and anchors.

KISS OF APEP
Tier 1: Roll mummy's Ren + Sekhem, resisted by target's Stamina + Power Rating. If mummy wins, victim contracts supernatural disease that can infect any animate being, living or dead. It inflicts one point of bashing damage and prevents healing by any means for an hour. After an hour, the opposed roll repeats. Modern medicine can't fix this. p. 122. If the victim wins the contested roll, the disease halts it ravages and they can heal normally.
Tier 2: Arisen holds an object owned by cult. In final moments of the rite, . The mummy body crumbles. Should anyone damage the item or steal it, the suspended death curse takes hold of thief.
Tier 3: Arisen shoots a black set of clouds in the sky, spreading darkness in a space of Sheut x 20 yards. It remains fixed in the place summoned. Clouds block out all non magical light sources, though flames that burn visibly are no less hot. Everyone caught in shadow is blinded. Once per turn, darkness attacks one character within it who is hostile to creator. The attack uses a dice pool of the mummy's Presence + Sheut + Sekhem. Victim resists via an opposed roll of Resolve + Composure + Power rating adding +3 if their Virtue is Hope. If darkness wins, the enemy and all his worn possessions are dragged into a star of Twilight by inky tendrils, leaving them incorporeal. Victims turn back if they move outside the substance.  Mortals become deranged.

POWER OF RA
Tier 1: Mummy chooses target within Sekhem + Ren in yards. They can't have Size rating higher then Ren rating. Mummy rolls Wits + Occult as a ranged attack against that target. Success sets them flame. It can only be extinguished by beating it into the ground. It lasts for Sekhem + Ren in minutes otherwise.

REBUKE THE VIZIER
TIER 1: Whenever anyone casts hostel magic , the target is shielded by the space they occupy. Mummy Sekhem + Ra vs Skill + Power Rating to cancel.
TIER 2: This tier may be unleashed reflexively as a defense against any supernatural power against which the previous tier can defend. Doing so is automatically successful, snuffing out the inbound magic without a roll. However, the defense lapses in the moment it flares into existence and does not offer any lingering protection.
TIER 3: Unleashing this tier upon a target within Sekhem + Ren yards reveals all magic that temporarily enchants it to the mummy's intuition. p. 127. It suppresses the specific supernatural power or single spell for the scene.

SECRETS RIPPED FROM SKIES
Tier 1: Mummy unleashes Utterance while gazing up at the sky. Doing so reveals his location, and all geographical referents. Example, he may learn he's 20 miles south west of Mount Sinai.
TIER 2: The mummy speaks a word of power that reverberates across space. A blazing meteorite falls upon an intended target. The mummy can only choose a known target he can perceive within one mile, and that target must be exposed to the open sky. Roll Sheut + Occult + Sekhem as a ranged attack. Success inflicts lethal damage (aggravated to inanimate objects and structures). range penalties do not apply. The meter also creates a bonfire with Bunsen burner intesinity inside a two yard radius around impact crater, though flames only last the turn the meteor lands. Character who might be within the initial blast of fire and who are capable of applying their Defnese can sometimes escape the worst by rolling Dex + Athletics and subtracting these to the level of damage.

WORDS OF DEAD FURY
TIER 1: The Arisen summons a ghost by creating a new anchor of it. She cannot control which will arrive, but may commands it with other powers.
TIER 2: The mummy consecrates location to herself no larger than Sheut + Ka miles in diameter for one week. All ghosts in this area temporarily gain the following Numina: Ghost Speech, Maddening and Terrifying. They also gain two Essence points.
TIER 3: The Arisen summons a hour called a Chtonic Beast (p.135 Mummy).

WORDS OF DEAD GLORY
Tier 1: Arisen touches earth and rolls Intelligence + Occult, applying location manifestioatns. The Arisen summons Lifeless monster known as the Nenitu, a shambling simulacra of life. p. 136.
Tier 2: The mummy prepares a corpse in a ritual lasting from sunset to midnight. He rolls Intelligence + Occult + Ba -4. If successful, the body becomes sa reveneantArisen can give two goals.
TIER 3: The Arisen targets a manifesting ghost and a reasonable intact human corpse within 20 yards. His player rolls Manipulation + Occult + Ka, resisted by ghost's Power + Resistance. If mummy wins, it transforms the target's lingering humanity to make way for terrible powers. The ghost gains the Numina "Intruder" and Lucid Dead" reining itself to be malicious and seizes possession of the offered corpse.

WORDS of DEAD HUNGER
Tier 1: Can see ghosts, recognize anchors, strike ghosts with unarmed attacks as if they were corporeal, drain vitae while grappling ghost, drain energy and destroy it, using its Numina once.Tier 2: She may bestow a gift of accursed power to any ghost or revenant visible to her within Ba + Sekhem.
Tier 3: Opens mouth impossible wide, revealing a vortex of twisted rainbows disturbed by gravity. All ghosts within the mummy's Resolve + Composure + Sekhem feel abrading pull towards the mouth. They suffer one Aggravated mage per turn until they surrender. p. 138.

You hold high status within members of your guild.

Profession, Temple Guardian (Unarmed, Weaponry, Athletics) •••••

The Warpath •••••
When you fill someone's last health box with lethal or aggravated damage, you can spend Willpower to make another close combat attack. Werewolves with this Merit replace the Willpower cost with Hard Rage.

Two Weapon Fighting ( ••••)
Prerequisites: Wits •••, Fighting Finesse ••, Weaponry ••• Style Tags: Flexible, Light Melee
Effect: Unless your character possesses the Ambidextrous Merit she takes the usual –2 penalty for using a weapon in her off-hand. Neither weapon can be above Size 2 for performing these maneuvers.
Balanced Grip (•): Your character knows how to use her weapons so they’re not awkward to hold. Your character does not count her weapons’ Initiative penalties as long as her off-hand weapon’s rating is the same or the lower of the two.
Protective Striking (••): Your character uses her off-hand weapon to deflect attacks. She adds her off-hand weapon’s bonus to her Defense for the first attack made against her in a turn. If her off-hand weapon has no bonus then add +1 instead.
Dual Swipe (•••): Your character attacks with both of her weapons simultaneously against one target. As part of an all-out melee attack, add her off-hand weapon’s bonus to her attack roll and reduce her target’s Defense by 1. If her off-hand weapon has no bonus then add +1 instead.
Double Strike (••••): Your character attacks two different targets simultaneously. Spend a point of Willpower and designate two targets in close range of your character. Take the highest Defense and –1 to the dice pool. Choose which weapon’s damage applies to which target. This maneuver cannot be used with Dual Swipe.
For example, if you’re up against two opponents with 4 and 6 Defense, and you have a 2L and 1L weapon, you would take –7 to Double Strike (the 6 Defense, with an additional –1). If you rolled three successes, one opponent would take five points of lethal damage, and the other four points of lethal damage — your choice which.
