 | Monstrous demons who perform this evocation leave a wash of turbulence in their wake, randomly increasing or decreasing the effects of gravity on surrounding objects or people who pass within a number of yards equal to the demon’s Torment score.

 +| 2 | **Manipulate Adhesion** | (6/8) ||
 +^Power^^^^
 +|The demon can affect her body’s adhesion to physical objects. She can run up walls, hang from a ceiling or cling to the side of a moving car like a spider.||||
 +^System^^^^
 +|Roll Dexterity + Athletics. The difficulty is determined by the angle of the surface relative to the earth. Running up a steep slope is difficulty 6, while a vertical surface is 7. Moving along an inverted plane (like a ceiling) is difficulty 8. The character can move up to three yards along such a surface per success rolled. The effects of this evocation last for a single turn.||||
 +^Torment^^^^
 +| When a monstrous demon performs this evocation, the surfaces with which she interacts are warped by her passing, causing them to radiate waves of intense heat and leave patterns of the demon’s hands and feet on the surface. Individuals coming into contact with these surfaces in the same turn as the demon touched them suffer one level of lethal damage.||||

 +| 1 | **Translate** | (5) ||
 +^Power^^^^
 +|The demon can understand (and be understood by) mortals, regardless of what language they speak.||||
 +^System^^^^
 +|Roll Manipulation + Empathy. The evocation affects a number of people equal to the successes rolled. The demon can understand the speech of each affected individual and be understood in turn, even if all of the individuals involved speak completely different languages. The effects of this evocation last for the duration of the scene. People who speak different languages do not understand each other when this power is used on them.||||
 +^Torment^^^^
 +| Monstrous demons must overcome the obstacle of their own Torment, or the words they hear are filtered through their own anger and obsessions. After the evocation is used successfully, a Willpower roll is made with a difficulty equal to your character’s Torment. If successful, your character understands the words of those around her as they are intended. If the roll fails, your demon’s understanding of what is said is skewed by her own hatred and despair. A greeting is misunderstood as a threat, or an honest answer sounds evasive or outright deceptive. The Storyteller is encouraged to make this Willpower roll on behalf of the character and keep the results secret, tailoring the information the player hears accordingly.||||

-|This evocation allows the Devourer to detect the presence of animal life in the surrounding area and to summon those creatures to his side. These animals instinctively protect the demon.||||+|This evocation extends the Devourer’s influence over the beasts of the earth, allowing her to command one or more animals to do her bidding.||||
 ^System^^^^ ^System^^^^
-|Roll Perception + Animal Ken. If your roll succeeds, your character gets a detailed sense of the varied animal life in her area, from insects to mammals. The Devourer’s awareness extends in a radius in miles equal to her Faith score. Armed with this knowledge, the Devourer can choose which animals of a single type she wishes to summon, up to the number of successes rolled. If the Devourer wishes to summon a swarm of vermin or insects, instead, the number of successes rolled determines the number of square yards that the swarm covers. These animals flock to the Devourer’s side as quickly as possible and circle her protectively, attacking anyone who threatens. The effects of this evocation last for the duration of the scene or until the demon frees the animals||||+|Roll Manipulation + Animal Ken. The Devourer can command a number of animals equal to the successes you roll. The animals must be in her presence already for this power to work. The evocation enhances the intelligence of these animals, as well. Assume that the creatures have an effective Intelligence of 1, though exceptional breeds may have ratings of 2 at the Storyteller’s discretion. The Devourer does not have to speak to the animals to issue commands. Instead, she imparts her desires by placing them directly in the animals’ minds. The effects of this evocation last for a single day.||||
 ^Torment^^^^ ^Torment^^^^
-| Monstrous demons can summon only carnivorous animals, their Torment driving the creatures into a murderous frenzy. A Willpower roll must be made each turn with a difficulty equal to the Devourer’s Torment. If the roll fails, the animals turn on the nearest human or demon, including the Devourer himself. The Devourer can attempt to regain control of frenzied animals with another Willpower roll in a subsequent turn.||||+| Monstrous demons can command only carnivorous animals, and the weight of the demon’s Torment makes them murderously aggressive. Unless they are in the Devourer’s presence, they attack any mortal or demon they encounter if they fail an Intelligence roll (difficulty 7)..||||

-|This evocation extends the Devourer’s influence over the beasts of the earth, allowing her to command one or more animals to do her bidding.||||+|The demon is capable of possessing one or more animals and acting through them as an extension of her will. During the War of Wrath, many Devourers went to war possessing entire packs of terrible beasts that wrought havoc among the Host’s human allies.||||
 ^System^^^^ ^System^^^^
-|Roll Manipulation + Animal Ken. The Devourer can command a number of animals equal to the successes you roll. The animals must be in her presence already for this power to work. The evocation enhances the intelligence of these animals, as well. Assume that the creatures have an effective Intelligence of 1, though exceptional breeds may have ratings of 2 at the Storyteller’s discretion. The Devourer does not have to speak to the animals to issue commands. Instead, she imparts her desires by placing them directly in the animals’ minds. The effects of this evocation last for a single day.||||+|Roll Intelligence + Animal Ken. The Devourer can control a number of animals equal to the successes rolled. If this number is greater than the demon’s Wits, her mortal body falls into a comatose state. Otherwise, she can still move and act with all her dice pools halved. Your character can control the animals up to a number of miles equal to her Faith score. This evocation lasts for a number of turns equal to your character’s Faith score.||||
 ^Torment^^^^ ^Torment^^^^
-| Monstrous demons can command only carnivorous animals, and the weight of the demon’s Torment makes them murderously aggressive. Unless they are in the Devourer’s presence, they attack any mortal or demon they encounter if they fail an Intelligence roll (difficulty 7)..||||+| Monstrous demons can possess only carnivores, and Devourers must exercise iron will to avoid losing themselves to the feral nature of their hosts. Make a Willpower roll each turn, with a difficulty equal to the Devourer’s Torment. If a roll fails, your demon succumbs to the animals’ instincts. Her mind is subsumed completely into their will, and control of the character (and her animals) passes to the Storyteller until the evocation expires. If the roll botches, the evocation expires and the demon herself takes on the nature and instincts of the animals, becoming feral in her own behavior.||||
