Maternal Influence Creche
Cost: 15m, 1wp; Mins: Essence 3; Type: Simple (one hour)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Blasphemy, Shaping, Sorcerous
Duration: One Genesis project
Prerequisite Charms: Sharp Eye of the Designer
When the Great Designer chooses to produce a wondrous new species, she does nothing so vulgar as grow it in a lab; all of Creation was her workshop at one time. This charm targets an area [Ess x5] miles in diameter; the processes of life in this area are subtly adjusted, and work in concert to play out the production of a species in impossibly rapid course. Creatures live, breed, and die, rapidly developing mutations and changes until they are reborn into the form she has envisioned in her grand dreams.
Use of this charm is a dramatic action taking one hour, during which the Infernal communes with the area around her, slowly reshaping it to her will while burning the exotic ingredients of her project. Following the conclusion of this action, the Cytherean-suffused area tests its' inhabitants to produce accelerated changes. Every month while this charm is active, the Infernal may make a roll as if she had spent a season working upon the desired Craft: Genesis project. Once she has achieved sufficient successes to complete the project, the area is home to a population of her new species of a magnitude equal to her Essence.
The roll for this project is penalized if not ideal. An ideal landscape is one designed specifically for the project via either geomantic restructuring or creation via Constructive Convergence of Principles. An area suffused with specifically Cytherean essence imposes a -1 internal penalty on the roll. An area of raw Wyld or suffused with any other yozi essence imposes a -2 internal penalty. And an area of untainted Creation imposes a -2 external penalty. She may use Survival in lieu of Craft: Genesis, as Cytherea needs not understand the intricacies of metal and artifice to know how life works.
The area registers as a special Blasphemy while in effect. Every month it rolls one die; on a result equal to or lower than the Genesis rating of the project, the Cytherean essence pulses, as if a Blasphemy of equal Essence had been enacted. If the Sorcerous effect is broken, the Infernal must recreate it within one month to regain half the successes on her project, or else it is fully wasted.
