Wild foxes sometimes catch birds by pretending to be dead; wild Foxes catch larger prey in like manner. This Gift cloaks the Kitsune completely in the trappings of death - no aura, no breath, no pulse, no telltale movement; the faint smell of first rot emanates from a roko thus disguised, and a conviction :that the body is dead creeps into the minds of those affected. Even those with magically sharpened senses may be mistaken - possibly for the last time. This Gift is taught by the spirits of flies, flesh-grubs and other insects in the recycling trade.
The player spends a Gnosis point and makes a Stamina + Stealth roll (difficulty 7). The Gift will hide small motions only; visible attacks, creeping corpses and Gifts that involve gestures or speech will break the spell. Mortals and inexperienced shen may be slow to realize what they're dealing with, however - the first thought may be that the body is undead, rather than living. Shen with special senses may roll Perception + Occult (difficulty9) to realize the spirit remains.
