Blindside

(•••• Correspondence, •• Matter)                                                                Hidden Lore  50

After a Fallen One isolates and terrorizes her victim, she strikes from surprise. This rote lets the Nephandus attack a target physically from a completely unexpected direction — by reaching through the drain of a bathroom sink (or, worse, the toilet bowl); sending gas attacks through a telephone handset; or, for theatrical effect, flooding a phone booth while the target makes a call. The damage itself is minor for the magick required. The Corrupted One desires instead to make the target wary, jumpy and prone to error.

|The attack requires at least two successes, and inflicts one Health Level of normal damage for each success beyond the second. At the Storyteller's discretion, the target may receive a Perception + Awareness roll to detect the attack (difficulty 8).]
