By drawing upon their understanding of the Internet and those who dwell there, an Abyssal can draw attention and infamy. They craft a message to place on a public area that is a directed attack at someone of respect in that place. Their words are filled with a kind of dark righteousness that appeals to those without friends or will of their own. Anyone who reads the message and was not personally attacked in it, finds themself rolling against a difficulty of the Abyssal's Essence to resist agreeing with the ideas in the message. Such is how the Abyssal gains followers without even seeing them.

With growth of understanding of how to draw in the weak-minded, the Abyssal can strike with a blade of words, that saps the strength from the one it targets. The Abyssal rolls Manipulation + Computers resisted by the victim's Willpower. Should the Abyssal win, the victim loses willpower equal to the number of successes the Abyssal had over them. If the victim loses all temporary willpower, their soul burns with a cold mixture of hatred and self-loathing. They do not regain willpower and may harm themselves as long as they suffer. They must make a successful Convction roll at difficulty 2 to break out of the soul burn.
