Familiar

Bats are small agile creatures, associated with feelings of corruption, irreverence and power. They are associated with visions of blood and darkness. Bats are associated with unholy energies.

• Can be found in Quetlatl

Requirements

• Qlippotic Affinity
• Qlippotic Lore

10 Lore and 4 Affinity is enough. One training session with Helborg and one with Keiko will get you there.

Failure Message

You sense a strange, premonitory thrill from the pale blue male frost bat and the stirrings of some malificent [sic] force within your own spirit, but it quickly ebbs, as though that force could find nothing inside you to root onto.

Attribute Modifiers

Increases Strength, Intellect, Vitality, Agility, Willpower, Ego, and Perception equally.

Traits

Traits with values beyond yes continually increase with bond strength: Luck and Astral Perception. Luminescence also values beyond yes, but decreases, causing the consort to create darkness. Some of these do not occur on even bond level increases, but rather appear partway through. The bond also provides a large bonus to Speed that increases with bond strength.
