Innu hunters often favored the flesh of the brant, a migratory goose, which they called apishtiss. Unfortunately, the brant no longer fly over the Innu homes, but people still tell of the magic. Entire villages of Innu once shouted as the geese passed overhead, and thereby confused the birds and caused them to fall from the sky. Hunters gathered them up for later feasting. Often, a good harvest of apishtiss was call for a makusham, or large feast, and many groups met to share the goose's flavorful meat.

Confusing Apishtiss allows a shaman to tremendously magnify his shouts at a target, thus disorienting the enemy. The mage jumps up and down, hollers and slaps his hands together to make as much noise as possible.

System: Successes on this Effect disorient an enemy, causing him to suffer from distractions, raising all his difficulties for the duration of the Effect by up to 3. If the mage scores more successes than the target's Willpower, then the subject is actually stunned and unable to act for a full turn.
