Deep Song

Level Six Animalism Power

The origins of this power are unknown, but Gitano Ravnos have claimed responsibility for its creation. Similar to Song of Serenity, this power allows a vampire to influence the moods of his listeners by singing to them. However, at this level, any desired emotion can be produced; through the words of the song, a Ravnos may attempt to sway the passions of his audience. People affected by Deep Song are often easily manipulated by the singer. If filled with love or regret, they can be fleeced of their money, and if filled with anger or hate, they can be provoked to violence, or incited to riot.

System: The Ravnos rolls Manipulation + Performance against a difficulty of the target’s Willpower. Three successes are required to alter the listener’s emotional state as desired. On a botch, the target manifests the desired emotion, but focuses it exclusively on the singer. The target of the song never clearly remembers its true power, recalling only that she was deeply moved by the performance. The effects of the Deep Song last for roughly one hour, or in the case of a botch, the remainder of the night.
