Gifts

Catchy tunes often run through people’s minds and disappear as soon as they hear

the next song. A Nuwisha using this Gift can make a simple tune drive the victim to despair. Some Nuwisha use this Gift constructively, singing a code-phrase or a sequence of num­ bers to guarantee that the listener will be able to remember them for days to come — though the coyote’s victim remains distracted all the same. A mosquito-spirit teaches this Gift.

System: The Nuwisha hums, sings a tune or jingle while looking at his target, and rolls Wits + Expression (difficulty equal to the target’s Willpower). Success makes the sound play endlessly in the victim’s mind for one day per success. The victim can still sleep, but increases the difficulty all rolls requiring concentration and any extended action by +2.
