This Gift empow­ ers the Wyld spark that resides in all Garou, granting the character greater control over her shapeshifting abilities. A wolf-spirit teaches this Gift.

System: When shapeshifting (see p. 285), all difficul­ ties are reduced by 1, and the player no longer needs to roll a single success just to initiate the transformation (thus, shifting from Homid to Glabro would be difficulty 5 and require only one success). Additionally, when enacting partial transformations (see p. 286), the player need no longer spend a Willpower point, and the difficulty of the roll is 7. This Gift’s effects are permanent.

As the metis Gift. • Kali’s Tongue (Level Two) — A terrible Wyrm-creature terrorized the land in ancient days of myth. For every drop of blood it spilled, another monster would spring up from the ground. A goddess of destruction spread out her tongue to catch each drop of blood as it fell, and in this fashion enabled the monster’s defeat. Modern Black Furies apply similar magic in their struggles against Black Spiral Dancers and other resilient foes. A cobra-spirit teaches this Gift.

System: The player spends one point of Rage and rolls Manipulation + Medicine (difficulty equals the target’s Rage or Willpower –3, whichever is lower). Each success prevents the target from healing damage by any means (including Gifts like Mother’s Touch) for one turn.
