Kami: Yaoyorozu-no-Kamigami
Every physical object, animal, and even human soul is one of the kami. Even natural phenomena, abstract concepts, and ideas are kami. This Purview holds sway over the proverbial “Eight Million Gods,” allowing them to be spoken with and propitiated in order that they might perform miracles at the Scion’s request.
Duration: Indefinite
Subject: One object
Range: Short
Action: Simple
You entreat the kami of an object with a show of respect and decorum. The object’s Enhancement is increased by one point when you or an ally uses it. When an enemy uses it, they face a +2 Complication. Failure to buy off the Complication causes the object to “misbehave,” avoiding causing harm or disadvantage to you.
Duration: Until task is completed
Subject: One kami
Range: Close
Action: Simple
You can ask the kami of an object or animal to watch for intruders, keep a lookout for a specific person or event, or perform some other passive task. Once the kami finds what it is looking for or otherwise completes its task, it can notify you regardless of distance, either whispering into your ear or sending a divine portent. This warning or sign can provide +2 Enhancement if it benefits an action. If you use this Boon again before the watchful kami has completed its task, its duty is discharged and the previous use of this Boon ends.

Innate Power: You can speak with the kami of objects and animals, allowing you to communicate and attempt to influence them. They have Attitude 2 towards you by default. The kami of objects have a limited degree of agency, primarily taking unrolled actions to do things the object might have done anyway. Sweet talking the kami of a car could convince it to start without keys, but not to drive around by itself.
