Manitou: Dodaem

Scions may use this Purview to commune with the totemic dodaem manitou of all things: people, animals, places, and events. It allows personal communion with one’s own dodaem manitou, which brings meaningful dreams and can act as an intermediary with other manitou. It can also be used to enter into conversation with the World, asking the manitou for their favor in exchange for making offerings or abiding by a taboo. A Scion who has cultivated a strong relationship with a manitou can manifest or borrow its powers in exchange for performing a service.

DREAM QUEST

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend
  Duration: Indefinite
  Subject: Self
  Action: Complex
As you sleep, your dodaem manitou shows you meaningful visions. Ask the Storyguide one of the following questions:

• Where do I need to be?
• What should I be on the lookout for?
• What is the cause of this problem?
• What is disturbing the dodaem manitou of this area?

 

Following the Storyguide’s answer provides Enhancement 3 on actions that help get you to where you need to be in order to do what you must, but not on rolls to actually do it. If your dreams show you that you must slay a wendigo, the Enhancement would apply on rolls to investigate its victims and track it down,but not to do battle with it.

 

SACRED MEDICINE

Cost: Spend 1 Legend
  Duration: Instant
  Subject: One character
  Range: Close
  Action: Complex
You tend to someone’s physical, mental, or spiritual health by appealing to their dodaem manitou in a scene-long ritual. This can resolve any Condition that character is currently suffering from, including Injury Conditions. However, in exchange for the manitou’s aid, it will request a favor from or impose a restriction on either you or that character (if that character is a PC, the responsibility is almost always on them). Failure to abide by this request either causes the cured ailment to return in full force, or imposes a Condition that represents the manitou’s disfavor.
