El Deseo

(Celerity ••, Majesty ••••, Vigor ••)

“For three nights, you’ll be fast, you’ll be strong, you’ll be beautiful, and you’ll stand above the flock. After that, you’re mine. Do you understand?” This classic Daeva Devotion is a common fixture of the Serpent’s Embrace. The vampire finds someone she wishes to exalt, then makes him an offer for temporary supremacy.

He gets a taste of power, and wants more. At the end of the deal, the victim becomes irrevocably attached to the vampire. It requires a great deal of Vitae to enact, but creates a loyal supplicant.

This Devotion can only be used once on a given character, and only on mortals. It costs 2 Experiences to learn.

Cost: 5 Vitae
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Persuasion + Majesty
Action: Instant

To use this Devotion, the victim must agree to the terms; three nights of power, but he willl belong to the vampire afterward. The terms can be that vague, but must be stated and agreed to, without any supernatural coercion. The victim must feed from the vampire as part of the agreement. When the deal is struck, the victim gains a number of advantages for three nights:

• He gains two levels of Celerity and Vigor. He can activate them by spending Willpower instead of Vitae.
• He gains three levels of Majesty. He can activate these with Willpower instead of Vitae.
• He needs no sleep, and can go without food and water without issue.

At the end of the period, he gains the Persistent Enthralled Condition. It persists indefinitely.
