Philodox.png "You do not know of what you speak. Do you both truly mean the curses that you spit at each other? Would the two of you truly tear each other apart? Would you slay your own brother while the Wyrm coils and readies to strike at us from the darkness? Have you no wits about you? Now is the time for unity, not strife— the Apocalypse is nearly upon us!" Philodox.png

Wyrmish Philodox Gifts

Level 1

  • Smell Fear

Level 2

  • A Thousand Voices

Level 1

Smell Fear

Source: WW3109 Book of the Wyrm 2nd Edition, p. 106

Description: A Philodox employing this Gift can tell if anyone nearby is threatened by her, as well as the degree of her victim’s fear.

In any area of the Shattered Labyrinth, and initiate can experience the many subtle flavors and variations of fear. If Spirits serving Hakaken and Sykora also know this Gift intimately… and teach it that way.

System: This requires a Perception + Empathy roll; the difficulty is equal to the target’s Willpower. For every hour this sense is active, the Black Spiral loses one Gnosis, but as a side effect, she can also tell if anyone is using Sense Wyrm on her.


Level 2

A Thousand Voices

Source: WW3109 Book of the Wyrm 2nd Edition, p. 106

Description: The Black Spiral Philodox can distort the sound of his own footsteps, creating a series of illusory noises. Instead of one werewolf, enemies will hear an entire pack. Howls, shadowy apparitions, footfalls and even illusory scents are all possible.

During the Dance of Rage, a dancer may learn this Gift as his anger multiplies many times over. Kirijama’s servants also offer mastery of this talent.

System: For each point of Willpower the user currently possesses, one illusory ally can be created. The Storyteller should secretly roll Perception + Alertness for each witness present; the difficulty depends on the immediate surroundings (difficulty 4 in a dense forest; difficulty 9 on a vast plan). The Black Spiral using this Gift should remain hidden; once he is spotted, the Gift fails.
