Heart’s Desire
[Ravnos] (Auspex ••••, Chimerstry ••)
With this power, a Ravnos reaches into a target’s mind and creates an image of the target’s greatest wish. This desire manifests as some sort of material object: a love letter, a stack of money, or the golden crown of a Prince.
No matter what manifests, the Ravnos who used this power understands the meaning and nature of the item, and is able to comprehend the target’s deepest desire. The Ravnos has no magical ability to understand the why or wherefore of that desire; only that this is the person’s fondest dream.
Obviously, handing that love letter to the target will not convince her that the Ravnos can (or has) caused her greatest desire to truly come true. Instead, most Ravnos cunningly use this power to discover a target’s secrets, and never reveal to the other individual that Heart’s Desire was used at all.
System: To target a character with this power, the Ravnos must have touched them within the last hour. Once that has been achieved, the player must spend a blood point and a Willpower point. Then, roll Intelligence + Subterfuge against a difficulty of the target’s current Willpower, and achieve three successes. If the Ravnos is successful, an illusory item manifests within the Ravnos’ hand as if Fata Morgana had been used, and the Ravnos instinctively understands the meaning of the item and the general nature of the target’s desire.
