DANCE WITH THE DIVINE

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend
Duration: Indefinite (Special)
Subject: Self
Action: Complex
You invite one of the Gods of your pantheon to share your body at the end of a scene-long ritual. You choose one of the God’s Purviews, gaining access to its innate powers and marvels. Alternatively, you can invite possession by one of your ancestor spirits — called égún by the Òrìshà and ghede by the Loa — to gain the benefits of having them as a Guide. In exchange, the spirit can experience the World vicariously through you, although they won’t actually interfere with
your control over your body.

You can only end this Boon once the spirit is ready to leave you. They never overstay their welcome out of malice, but some will press for just one more meal or one last smoke. The usual method for dealing with these spirits is to go off somewhere calm and quiet with a priest (or one of your bandmates, in a pinch), who can politely ask them to depart.
