| Cinnabar Tears
(• • • Life, • • Matter) Tradition Book: Akashic Brotherhood, Revised Ed. 67 |
| This vicious form of internal alchemy transforms a Brother's bodily
fluids into dangerous toxins. By ingesting a small amount of the
substance to be created and moving into a series of special postures, and
Akashayna can distill and release this substance without harming herself.
An Akashic can sweat cyanide, cry acid or envenom a knife with cinnabar
(mercury sulfide) "blood" by drawing it along her arm. System: Akashayna are immune to the poisons they create with this rote. Generally, a toxin does one health level of damage per success on top of an unarmed or weapon attack. Envenomed tools or body parts last for as long as successes are spent to retain the toxin, but they cannot be made permanent. Really exotic or artificial substances cannot be created with this rote, which is usually vulgar. |
