••• In the Presence of the Holy Spirit
Through the animalistic urges of the Beast, the character gains an understanding of the spiritual world. While using this power, the character can communicate with entities in Twilight, regardless of what Language they speak, but loses the ability to converse with the denizens of the material realm. Instead she barks and growls at apparently empty air, hanging at the very edge of frenzy.
Effect
Dramatic Failure: The character fails utterly, accidentally loosing the Beast upon herself. She immediately enters an uncontrolled frenzy. She may not use Embracing the Invisible Other to resist or exit it.
Failure: The character enters an uncontrolled Frenzy.
Success: The character makes progress towards her goal. Upon accumulating the required successes, the character enters a form of half-frenzy in which she can communicate through speech with local entities in Twilight for the remainder of the scene. She loses the ability to converse with those present physically, however. She rides the razor’s edge of frenzy and must make a reflexive Resolve + Composure roll for each minute of conversation she engages in. If she fails, the power ends and she enters an immediate uncontrolled frenzy. Otherwise, the player may end the power voluntarily, choosing whether the character rides the wave or abandons frenzy entirely.
Exceptional Success: As above, save the character and her Beast act as one. She need not roll to resist frenzy during the course of the power.
