-**System:** Roll Wits + Intuition. The target of the evocation can either be the demon herself or any person she can see. For the duration of the effect multiply the movement rate of the target by the number of successes. She always acts first in the initiative order, unless she chooses to delay her action. Being so fast also makes the subject very hard to hit. Add a number of dice equal to the number of successes on the evocation roll to the dice pool of any dodge roll. The evocation lasts for a number of turns equal to the demon's permanent Faith. \\+**System:** The target of the evocation can either be the demon herself or any person she can see.

 **Torment:** Instead of speeding themselves or their allies up, monstrous demons prefer to slow their victims down. They delight in watching their targets stumble around in a world that is suddenly incomprehensibly fast. Divide the movement rate of the victim by the number of successes rolled for the duration, and subtract them from the victim's dodge rolls. The victim always acts last in the initiative order. **Torment:** Instead of speeding themselves or their allies up, monstrous demons prefer to slow their victims down.

   * **Alter Appearance** allows you to change your hair and skin color, but also the shape of your face or your facial features. You could use this evocation to make yourself look like someone else if you know what this person looks like, but unless they match the build of your character closely you likely need to apply Alter Shape as well.   * **Alter Appearance** allows you to change your hair and skin color, but also the shape of your face or your facial features.

   * **Alter Shape** allows you to alter the physical dimensions of a body. You can make someone taller or smaller, more corpulent or thinner, or you can change the proportions of their body parts.   * **Alter Shape** allows you to alter the physical dimensions of a body.

-  * **Doppelganger** combines **Mimic, Alter Appearance,** and **Alter Shape** with a touch of telepathy in order to allow you to take the appearance like a person your target expects to see. The evocation takes the relevant information directly from the target’s mind, the demon doesn’t have to know who the target would expect, or even know beforehand what said person looks like. However, demons need to use their own wits to avoid blowing their cover by doing or saying something that would be out of character for the person they are impersonating.+  * **Doppelganger** combines **Mimic, Alter Appearance,** and **Alter Shape** with a touch of telepathy in order to allow you to take the appearance of a person your target expects to see.

   * **Shapechange** finally pulls out all the stops. Previous evocations can only affect changes that are roughly within the limits of what humans can look like. But Shapechange surpasses these limitations and allows the demon to sculpt their target into an inhumanly beautiful work of art or a grotesque monster, or anything in between.   * **Shapechange** finally pulls out all the stops.
