Mantaining the Demanding Spell (ReVi 30)
Customization Notes: The Criamon does not have her maximum allowance of Flaws, so could take an additional Major Flaw or three Minor Flaws, with corresponding Virtues, if desired. The Criamon has a conflict of interests, being a social creature with the Gift - so is taking out their social needs on their fellow magi. Magically, their focus is on studying magic itself, in particular the Art of Vim, and modifying it with metamagic.
New Spells:
Sustaining the Demanding Spell (ReVi 20)
R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Ind
This spell works as Mantaining the Demanding Spell, except it targets spells of level 15 and lower, and it lasts for a longer duration.
(Base effect, +1 Touch, +2 Sun)
Scent of Slumbering Power (InVi 10)
R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Smell
The faint buzz in the senses, a tingle with each breath, and the growing smell of strangeness all are signs of approaching a source of vis. This spell gives the target the ability to smell the presence of vis. The particular scent of the vis, sadly, means nothing as to what it is.
Base 1, +1 Touch, +2 Sun, +2 Smell
Item: Bracelet of Vis Sensing (InVi 14)
This is a carved wooden bracelet with strange markings on it that look runic in nature. The wearer gains the ability to smell the presence of nearby Vis, as per Scent of Slumbering Power.
(Base 1, +1 Touch, +2 Sun, +2 Smell; +1 level uses/day, +3 environmental trigger)
