••• Cleanse the Mind
The Passionate speaks a quiet prayer before kissing a companion upon the forehead (or, in some cases, placing a prayer strip on his brow). Through the power of her blood, she banishes the dark taint of the unnatural from the target.
The character must touch the target’s forehead to use this power.

Effect
Dramatic Failure: The attempt fails, instead inflicting a mild derangement on the target that remains until the end of the scene. The target cannot benefit from further uses of this power by any Septemi until after the following sunset.
Failure: The attempt fails.
Success: The character removes a single supernatural effect from the target. The effect must be something that directly affects the mind. Examples include Dominate commands, all Majesty powers and the powers of Obfuscate. (Cleansing a character of the effects of Obfuscate allows her to see an otherwise hidden character, even if her companions cannot. Attempts by the cleansed character to point out the Obfuscated individual fail, but if she interacts with the creature, by attacking him, for example, she can draw their attention to him.)
Cleanse the Mind only cancels ongoing effects; powers that have a permanent effect after they have been completed (such as The Forgetful Mind and Conditioning powers of Dominate) are not affected. Septemi may not use this power on themselves.
Exceptional Success: The character removes two supernatural effects from the target, if two simultaneously exist.
