Flux

Category
This art allows a wraith to manipulate and animate objects created by the living.
System
0 - Grave Mold. Cause spontaneous growth of lichen and mildew in small areas. Repeated use can spread decay throughout a house. System: Strength+Flux (difficulty equal to local shroud). 0 - Sense Fluxation. The wraith can sense when others are using Flux to manipulate an object. System: Perception+Flux (difficulty 6). More than one success can give insight into the nature of the manipulation and the identity of the manipulator. 1 - Rot. The wraith ages a small, non-living item. Sometimes used in place of Inhabit to bring small, fragile objects across the shroud as relics. System: Spend 1 Pathos. Strength+Flux (difficulty equal to local shroud). Number of successes indicates the volume of material that can be ruined. 2 - Strengthen. The wraith strengthens an object to be more resistant to decay and damage. System: Dexterity+Flux (difficulty 7). Each success allows the wraith to increase the difficulty to destroy the object by 1, up to the wraith's Stamina. 3 - Decay. The wraith causes significant decay in manmade objects. Often used in place of Inhabit to bring small objects across the shroud as relics. System: Spend 2 Pathos. Stamina+Flux (difficulty equal to local shroud + modifiers for strength of the object). Each success indicates the volume of matter affected. 4 - Puppet Theatre. The wraith animates several small objects at once. Can conceivably take control of an entire house with Puppet Theatre. System: Spend 1 Pathos for each item animated, plus any Willpower the wraith decides to spend. Wits+Flux (difficulty 4 + 1 for each additional item in the collection above the wraith's Wits; never more than 9). Willpower is spent to lower the difficulty of the roll. Multiple Willpower may be spent in this way. 5 - Automaton. The wraith builds a body from objects in the area. The body has the same physical attributes as the wraith. Can also be used to create a cyclone of objects capable of doing damage equal to the wraith's Strength and can also gather new objects to replace those lost in the rampage. System: Spend 3 Pathos and 2 Willpower, gain 2 temporary Angst. Stamina+Flux (difficulty equal to local shroud). Only 1 success is needed, but additional successes allow for increased physical attributes (+1 to wraith's choice per extra success. The assembled body lasts for a scene or until the wraith releases his hold.
