Sanctify

Category
This Gift is used in conjunction with the Rite of the Pain-Dagger; if you know this Gift, you may also learn that rite from a Warrior (without spending rhe experience for it). Normally, you can bind a spirit to a blade of religious significance to fonti a Pain-Dagger, the Radcin's equivalent of a Garou klaive. The Sanctify Gift aliows you to temporarily bind one of the spirits used in the rite to anything with a jagged or pointed edge: butcher knives, chain saws, broken bottles, meat hooks and bone saws are all obvious examples. This Gift is biissfuily bestowed by a Pain-spirit, but only if you can give it what it wants first. This often involves sacrificing another creature's pain.
System
Find a weapon to dedicate as your new Pain Dagger. Spend one Rage and whisper the greatest crime you intend to commit with it into the blade. You can then perform the Rite of the Pain Dagget upon it to summon a Pain-spirit and bind it inside. If the weapon normally inflicts non-aggravated damage (like a broken bottle or a meat hook), the new weapon can mete out Strength + 2 aggravated damage. If the weapon normally inflicts aggravated damage (like a chainsaw), the new weapon metes out Strength + 4 damage.%r%tIn addition, the Twitcher can spend a point of Gnosis to force the spirit to use the Charm; Agony (seep. 48). When the blade is dedicated, roll Gnosis; for each success, the spirit remains bound for one week. As usual, a Twitcher cannot create more than one Pain Dagger at a time; however, they don't worry about losing Obligation Renown for performing irreverent or obscene acts with them.%r%tUnfortunateiy, the spirit inside a Sanctified Pain Daggers may whisper to the Twitcher who carries it; only the owner can hear these disturbing messages. Once a day, if the owner fails a Willpower roll (difficulty 9), a drawn spirit blade will force its owner to attack a victim of its choice. Some Ratkin believe it's a small price to pay.
