The Restoration of Things Lost

Auspex •••, Meminisse ••••

Shadows in the Dark

The Mnemosyne always risk losing their own memories, and their powers can sometimes work too well. There are times when memories – their own, or others’ – must be restored.

Effect

This power works on all sorts of memory loss, from disassociative fugues and trauma-induced memory loss through to the amnesia inflicted by the use of Meminisse. The character places his hand on the target’s face and reaches within her mind, drawing out things hidden and damaged.
Dramatic Failure: The vampire wipes the memories away forever, and they can never be recovered, either by this power or any other means.
Failure: The character fails to find the lost memories.
Success: The character finds the lost memories. They flood to the surface, and the target briefly experiences them all at once. The target’s player must roll Resolve + Composure or gain a derangement.
Exceptional Success: The character not only regains the lost memories, but does so gently and gradually, meaning that the target is in no danger of gaining a derangement.
