••• Dagon’s Call of the Mind

The sorcerer and vizier equivalents for Dagon’s Call both work the same. Instead of ravaging the target’s body, the Clan Banu Haqim harrows the mind.

Mechanically, this power works the same as the warrior version except as follows: First, the roll is the Clan Banu Haqim’s Manipulation versus the target’s Intelligence. The difficulty for both rolls is the other’s permanent Willpower. Second, instead of inflicting lethal damage, each net success for the Clan Banu Haqim strips the target of temporary Willpower. If the Clan Banu Haqim spends a Willpower point and continues to roll even after the target has lost all her temporary Willpower, additional successes strip the target of one dot of permanent Willpower. This represents the most damage that this power can inflict in a single night regardless of successes, but a target who has lost all of her Willpower dots through use of Dagon’s Call on successive nights is reduced to a mindless husk.

As with the warrior version, the Clan Banu Haqim need not be within the target’s presence to trigger this attack.
