This deeply despised trickery allows an ancient and powerful lion to steal another werecat's Gifts, even those which traditionally belong only to that tribe or breed. Black Tooth has gathered a lot of his power through this deadly secret. Those who've met him claim he invokes his 'privilege' by killing other Bastet, then taking their secrets from their spirits as they die. While there may be other Bastet who know the Gift, they don't have many friends.
This Gift comes from the Unmaker, and may be restricted to one or two corrupt old lions in the Storyteller's domain. Using it is simple, yet difficult: To learn a new Gift, the werecat who knows it must be killed. As the victim dies, the Simba invokes this terrible power, ripping the secrets from the dying flesh. This requires two Gnosis and a Manipulation + Occult roll. The difficulty is the dying cat's Rank +5. For each success, the lion may learn one Gift he didn't know before, providing the slain Bastet knew it instead. To 'keep' these Gifts, the Simba must pay experience points for them, a stolen Gift that remains 'free' can be used once, then forgotten. Only Simba know this trick - some Bubasti have tried to acquire it, but have died in the process.
