Name: Third Form, the Illusion of Life

Level: Master

Cost: 1 Gnosis

Duration: night

Flavor: the Kitsune folds a fake person or animal out of paper and grants it life like mimicry. Many Garou see these creatures as abominations before Gaia and kill them on sight. A Kitsune should be wise of using these creatures.

Effect: At this level, you can spend a gnosis to imbue your illusion with substance. No longer a mere phantasm, illusions imbued with the illusion of life possess one Healthy Health level and one Physical Trait regardless of their size or apparent composition. These illusions are now physical, made of the will and the gnosis of Gaia

Creatures or persons created with the illusion of life have one Social Trait per Rank the fera has. They exist until they are either destroyed physically. Attempts to reach the mind of a conjured phantasm alert the mind of the caster, although the person exerting mental influence may not be aware of this. Mental attacks directed at a conjured entity flat out fail as the illusion possess physical substance but no mental capacity.

Objects imbued by the illusion of life still have a single Healthy Health Level and Physical Trait to those who have seen through the illusion, appearing as shimmering fields of translucent force similar to their intended illusion but clearly supernatural.

Phantom Stake: Allows the Kitsune to make a staking challenge against a target. First Socials (Subterfuge) v Socials ( Willpower) If successful then he may make medicine challenges as usual to stake the target.
