This Gift bestows understanding of the language of the spirit world, permit­ ting the Garou to clearly understand and speak with any spirit he encounters. The Gift doesn’t influence spirits’ attitudes toward the werewolf in any way, nor ensure that they have any desire to communicate with him. Any spirit can teach it.

System: This Gift’s effects are permanent. • Umbral Tether (Level One) — The Umbra is a shifting world where logic doesn’t always apply and los­ ing one’s way is easy. Theurges ensure they can always find their way back to the point where they entered the Umbra with this Gift, which creates a silvery “umbilical cord” connecting the Garou to the point where they last crossed the Gauntlet. Only the werewolf who creates the tether can see it. This Gift is taught by a spider-spirit.

System: No roll is needed to create the thread. However, after each full day the character spends in the Umbra, a point of Gnosis must be spent to maintain the cord; otherwise, it slowly corrodes from the point of entry and toward the Garou.

As the Theurge Gift.
