Bath of Souls

Bath of Souls (••, Acqua •)

 * Action: Instant and resisted
 * Dice pool: Presence + Empathy - target’s Composure
 * Cost: 1 Wisp
 * Duration: 1 scene or 1 day

The Noble brings someone lost in madness back to rationality for a time. Bath of Souls suppresses any Condition that reflects a disordered mind, from the mild (e.g. Spooked) to the extreme (e.g. Broken.)
 * Dramatic Failure: The Noble’s intervention makes matters worse. The target takes the Shaken Condition [CofD 290] and the Noble cannot use Bath of Souls on him until it’s resolved.

 * Success: The Condition is suppressed. A temporary Condition ends without resolving. A persistent Condition doesn’t end, but all its continuing effects cease to apply until the scene ends. Meeting a criterion that resolves or otherwise ends the Condition will do so with the normal effects.
 * Exceptional Success: The Condition is suppressed for a full day.
