Black Spiral Dancer Gifts
Resist ToxinRank 1 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
As theBone Gnawer/Fianna Gift.
Bone Gnawer/Fianna Gift:Many Bone Gnawers learn a preternatural resistance to poisons and toxins of all kinds,
doubtless due to their diet of refuse and American beer. A trash-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player rolls Stamina + Survival. Success nullifies the effects of most conventional poisons, and adds
three dice to the Garous Stamina for purposes of resisting Wyrm-enhanced poisons. The effects last for the scene.
Source: Book of the Wyrm
Bane ProtectorRank 1 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Black Spiral can summon Banes to aid her. Before these servitors can act, the Black Spiral must convince them
of her intent. Her actions must be in the best interest of the Wyrm. The servitors can fight for her, but will not allow
themselves to be bound or destroyed. The spirits will also try to arrange a bargain, agreeing to help the summoner if
she performs a service (or sacrifice) for them afterward.
This Gift is taught in the first circle of the Spiral Labyrinth. The dancer may find a way to deceive the Banes that
torment her, convincing them to aid her instead. Alternatively, a Black Spiral who performs an especially difficult
task for a Bane-totem might receive this knowledge in return.
System: Use of this Gift burns a point of Gnosis and requires a Manipulation + Leadership roll.
Source: Book of the Wyrm
Toxic ClawsRank 1 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Dancer can cause toxic waste to ooze from her claws, coating them with an unhealthy greenish-gray slime.Wounds left by these claws tend to leave unhealthy-looking scars.
System: This Gift requires the expenditure of one Rage point and a turn of full concentration. For the remainder of
the scene, the Dancers claws inflict an additional die of damage and leave residual Wyrm-taint on anything she
slashes.

RatheadRank 1 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Dancer can squeeze her body through any opening no smaller than a quarter in diameter. This Gift looks very
disturbing to the unsuspecting onlookers. Corrupted rat-spirits teach this Gift.
System: The Dancers player rolls Gnosis. If Successful she can squirm through any opening no smaller than a
quarter. Doing so typically takes a single turn, depending on the openings length. The Gift remains active until the
Garou has passed entirely out of the constricted space.
Source: Core book revised.
Sense WyrmRank 1 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The werewolf can sense manifestations of the Wyrm in the nearby area. This Gift involves a mystical sense, not a
visual or olfactory image, although werewolves using the Gift sometimes say things like, This place stinks of the
Wyrm (with a few more colorful adjectives). Garou should remember that the Wyrms taint can cling to relatively
blameless souls. Werewolves may sense an innocent person who happens to work in a Wyrm-controlled factory or
who has eated tainted food. This power requires active concentration. Any spirit of Gaia may teach this Gift.
System: The player rolls Perception + Occult. The difficulty depends on the concentration and strength of the
Wyrms influence. Sensing a single fomor in the next room would be difficulty 6, while detecting the stench of a
Bane that was in the room an hour ago would be difficulty 8. Vampires register as Wyrm-tainted, save those with
Humanity Traits of 7 or higher.
Source: Core book revised.
Smell FearRank 1 Black Spiral Dancer Philodox Gift
A Philodox employing this Gift can tell if anyone nearby is threatened by her, as well as the degree of her victims
fear.
In any area of the Shattered Labyrinth, and initiate can experience the many subtle flavors and variations of fear. If
Spirits serving Hakaken and Sykora also know this Gift intimately and teach it that way.
System: This requires a Perception + Empathy roll; the difficulty is equal to the targets Willpower. For every hour
this sense is active, the Black Spiral loses one Gnosis, but as a side effect, she can also tell if anyone is using Sense
Wyrm on her.

Horns of the ImpalerRank 2 Black Spiral Dancer Ahroun Gift
This talent endows the Black Spiral with a pair of spiraling, chitinous black-and- green horns. Usually, theyre worn
as antlers, although some Dancers have learned to protrude them from other parts of their bodies.
This Gift is usually taught by a Dratossi. A Bane inside a physiologically freakish fomor might also bless an ally with
this talent.
System: This appendage inflicts the same damage as a Bite attack; it can be used a maximum of twice each round of
combat. A horned Black Spiral may instead choose to charge his enemies; this increases the amount of damage to
Strength +5 dice, but only one such charging attack can be made that round.
Source: Book of the Wyrm
Wyrm HideRank 2 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
A Dancer may use this Gift to transform her skin into a lumpy, leather, odious sickly hide that grants her additional
protection from harm. Once the Wyrm Hide wears off, it slides oozing and bubbling off the Black Spiral Dancer,
leaving a congealing, smelly mess where she stood.
System: The Dancer must spend one pint of Rage to activate Wyrm Hide, and the player must roll Stamina +
Survival. Each success grants the Dancer one additional soak die. This Gift lasts until the end of the scene. Until then,
other Garou pay pick up her scent at two lower difficulty, due to the stench the power generates.
Sprint in ShadowRank 2 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Black Spiral Dancers live beneath the surface of the Earth, down in the chthonic darkness and close to the
inhuman gibbering monsters that they worship as incarnations of their god. A Garous long run is difficult through
the tunnels, as it depends on having plenty of room to run in straight lines and periodic sustenance. The Black Spirals
turned in their earliest days to the spirits that cavort in the wake of Thunderwyrms, hoping that such spirits could
teach them magics to increase their speed when traveling under the earth.
System: The character spends a point of Rage and rolls Stamina + Primal-Urge. If one success is earned, the BlackSpiral can undertake a Long Run (Werewolf, p. 197) despite being underground and in occasionally close tunnels.
Each additional success on the Stamina + Primal Urge roll increases the Long Run speed by a factor of one (so two
successes means that the character runs twice as fast as an ordinary Long Run; three successes means three times as
fast, and so on).

Wyrm HideRank 2 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Black Spiral hardens his skin into a leathery hide, covering himself with pustulent, discolored flesh. If hes
actually wounded, the skin around the wound takes on a bluish tinge.
The second circle of the labyrinth requires a Dance of Rage. Sometimes the initiate is wounded repeatedly until he is
forced into an unrelenting fury. If he survives, he may then discover how to harden his spirit against such assaults,
developing his Wyrm Hide in the process. This Gift may also be taught by a Dratossi.
System: The Dancer expends a point of Rage by stamping about and taunting his foes. His mystically thickened hide
gives him an additional three dice for soaking damage; these bonuses last for the scene:
Source: Book of the Wyrm
PatagiaRank 2 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Dancer can extrude large flaps of skin under her arms, resembling a flying squirrels membranes. When not in
use, the flaps usually shrink into the Dancers arms and sides, where they are not detectable.
System: The Dancer stretches her arms and leaps from a height. She may glide at 25 mpg, but the player must make
Dexterity + Athletics rolls (at the Storytellers discretion) to avoid losing altitude.
Source: Core book revised.
TerrifyRank 2 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Dancer with this Gift is more intimidating and terrifying than normal. A sneer from her is as effective as a full-
throated grown from another.
System: Roll Charisma + Intimidation (difficulty is the targets Willpower). If successful, the difficu lties for Social
rolls made against that target decrease by onebut only if intimidation could conceivably alter the outcome in the
Dancers favor. The targets difficulty to strike the Dancer in combat is one higher as well.
Source: Core book revised.
Plague ChildRank 2 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The favored children of the Plague Rats (Apocalypse, p. 90) may choose to learn this Gift to represent their fallen
totems favor. The fallen werewolf who knows this Gift finds that ordinary diseases just cant take hold in his system.
He does act as a carrier, though, and can inadvertently (or deliberately) infect passersby with a cough or sneeze.
Plague Child does not especially protect against supernatural plagues.

8/14/2019 Black Spiral Dancer Gifts.docx
5/11
System: The character is immune to non-magical, non-biowarfare diseases. No roll or expenditure is needed. Magical
plagues (like the Metamorphic Plague that troubles the Black Furies) can still infect the werewolf, and specially
engineered germ warfare agents also remain dangerous.
The werewolf remains a carrier of these diseasesthey live on or in him, but do him no harm. A Plague Rat or
Black Spiral Dancer with this Gift may find that those he encounters fall ill with one of the dozens of diseases from
tuberculosis to malaria. Plague Child doesnt make these diseases any more virulent, but a healthy and mobile carrieris always better able to spread a disease than one incapacitated by it.
Source: Apocalypse
Ears of the BatRank 2 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
This Gift allows the Black Spiral Dancer to use sonar like a bat. He may act in complete darkness without
impairment. Black Spiral Dancers with this Gift have large, bat-like ears. Even in Homid form, they have abnormallylarge ears. Corrupted bat-spirits teach this Gift.
System: This Gift can be counteracted with some means of generating confusing ultrasonic sounds. Garou who make
a Perception + Alertness (or Primal-Urge in Lupus) roll can hear the sonar. With three or more successes, she can
determine the Dancers exact location.
Source: Core book revised.
A Thousand VoicesRank 2 Black Spiral Dancer Philodox Gift
The Black Spiral Philodox can distort the sound of his own footsteps, creating a series of illusory noises. Instead of
one werewolf, enemies will hear an entire pack. Howls, shadowy apparitions, footfalls and even illusory scents are all
possible.
During the Dance of Rage, a dancer may learn this Gift as his anger multiplies many times over. Kirijamas servants
also offer mastery of this talent.
System: For each point of Willpower the user currently possesses, one illusory ally can be created. The Storyteller
should secretly roll Perception + Alertness for each witness present; the difficulty depends on the immediate
surroundings (difficulty 4 in a dense forest; difficulty 9 on a vast plan). The Black Spiral using this Gift should
remain hidden; once he is spotted, the Gift fails.

Allies BelowRank 3 Black Spiral Dancer Galliard Gift
Howl, you crazy bastard! If you let forth a rousing yawp, the spirits of the Earth will answer you. Wyrm creatures far
beneath the Earths crust will cause minor tremors in the ground above them.
Although the terrible quakes caused by this Gift seem awful, they merely reflect the sort of test the Galliard must
endure in the Shattered Labyrinth to learn it. The worst scenario is one in which the labyrinth collapses in on itself.

6/11
System: The extent of the damage inflicted depends on the amount of Gnosis channeled into the Galliards rousing
yawp. One point of Gnosis causes a minor tremor, possibly throwing people to the ground. Three points can collapse
underground tunnels, knock down trees, or open sinkholes. Five points can cause structural damage to a building,
collapsing walls on anyone within several feet of it. In each case, victims should roll Dexterity + Dodge or Dexterity
+ Athletics to stay on their feet, escape from collapsing buildings, or dive for cover.

Burning ScarsRank 3 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
Black Spiral Dancers often carve stylized scars representing their devotion to the Wyrm into their bodies. With this
Gift, a Dancer can draw upon that devotion to inflict horrible injuries on her foes. When invoked, this Gift causes the
Dancers scars to glow with an unwholesome brilliance that almost seems to crawl into the victims body through his
eyes, nose, mouth and ears, burning him from the inside out and leaving horrible burns that mimic the Dancers own
scars.
System: The Dancer must grab the target, and the player must spend two Rage and roll Wits + Primal-Urge
(difficulty is victims Stamina + 2). Each success inflicts one level of unsoakable aggravated damage that appears
upon the victims body as a mirror of the Dacners glowing scars. These marks of the Wyrm may prove a powerful
social handicap, and it may take some effort to remove them.
Source: Core book revised.
Unseelie Faerie KinRank 3 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Black Spiral can call upon changelings, just as Fianna do, but his fae allies will be members of the Unseelie
Court.
This Gift cannot be learned in the Shattered Labyrinth. However, an Unseelie noble or Shadow Court instigator may
offer to teach the proper rituals of this Gift in return for a quest or geas. In some instances, the changeling may also
learn to summon the Black Spirals pack!
System: As with the Gift:Bane Protector,the petitioner must explain his dilemma, usually in rhyme or dance (in
some cases, this performance is particularly violent or destructive). He must then burn a point of Gnosis and roll
Manipulation + Leadership.
Source: Book of the Wyrm
Dagger of the MindRank 3 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Black Spiral can command a Bane to seed a particularly dark emotion in the mind of his prey. The emotion is
chosen when the Gift is learned (e.g., paranoia, despair, remorse, lust; rage is not an option , for obvious reasons).
The Black Spiral calls upon the proper Urge Wyrm; one of its servitors then evokes the proper emotion from the
victim.

8/14/2019 Black Spiral Dancer Gifts.docx
7/11
Within the Shattered Labyrinth, the Dance of Endurance tests the limits of a dancers self-control. If the initiate
survives, one of the Urge Wyrms will show him how to inflict similar tortures on his enemies. Curiously enough,
Stormcrows have learned this Gift; they guard their knowledge carefully. Theurges often use this rite to weaken their
enemies before battle; Philodox use it to give themselves an edge in negotiations.
System: The invocation burns a point of Gnosis and requires a Gnosis roll; the victim can resist this with a contested
Willpower roll. Unless the victim can overcome his emotional struggle, he succumbs to the desired emotion for a fullhour. For an additional Willpower point, the temporary dementia is accompanied by a brief, revelatory illusion.
Source: Book of the Wyrm
Foaming FuryRank 3 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Dancers mouth bubbles and foams with a noxious, greenish fluid. His eyes widen and roll in their sockets,
showing the whites. The Dancer yips, barks and howls madly (and uncontrollably) as if in the grip of a rabid madness
a contagious one.
System: The player of anyone bitten by a Dancer using this Gift must succeed in a Stamina roll (difficulty 8, 6 if the
Garou hasResist Toxin), lest the character fly into a rabid frenzy. (In effect, the character enters the Thrall of the
Wyrm).
Source: Core book revised.
LandwasterRank 3 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
This Wyrm Gift allows the fallen tribe to steal life in order to gain Gnosis. Relshab the Faceless Eater (see Book of
the Wyrm) teaches this Gift.
System: The Garou kills a living thing of their own mass or greater, whether this is a mother and her children, a
redwood tree, or a buffalo. The killing must involve physical contact between the Garou and his victim. For each
living thing killed, the Dancer gains one Gnosis. One additional Gnosis is gained when an intelligent creature dies in
pain. Any Gaian Garou using this Gift is considered to have fallen to the Wyrm.
Source: Apocalypse
Touch of the EelRank 3 Black Spiral Dancer Ragabash Gift
The Black Spiral Ragabash releases a current of electricity through conductive materials nearby. If he is touched in
any way during the use of this talent, the assailant receives an even greater shock.
Only a Ragabash has the patience and deviance to learn this Gift. With the assistance of a servitor of its Bane-totem,
the Black Spiral must capture an electricity elemental. In most urban environments, this may take several hours. The
dancer then torments, taunts and tortures the spirit until it offers him this Gift. Alternatively, the Ragabash might have
to survive a Dance of Endurance involving electricity.

8/11
System: The Gift burns one point of Rage. The resultant charge can carry up to 30 yards if transmitted through the
proper conductor. At a distance, it does three dice of damage (difficulty 7 to soak); by touch, it does four dice.
Blood Omen
Rank 3 Black Spiral Dancer Theurge Gift
By examining the entrails of a freshly-killed creature, a Black Spiral Theurge can gain insights into a possible future.
As expected, the vision is almost always tragic or violent.
A Theurge can receive this Gift during the Dance of Cunning. Sometimes this visionquest involves the
dismemberment of the mystic, who watches the violation of her own body. This grants her insights into her true
nature by an examination of her own internal organs.
System: This burns one point of Gnosis and requires an Intelligence + Enigmas roll; the difficulty depends on the
type of creature used7 for a Garou, wolf or human, or 9 for any other warm-blooded creature. More successes will
grant a clearer picture of the possible atrocity to come.
Source: Book of the Wyrm
Open WoundsRank 4 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
As theShadow Lord Gift.
Shadow Lord Gift:The Garou may cause the next wound he inflicts to bleed profusely, weakening the targetfurther. A pain-sprit teaches this Gift.
System: The player spends one Gnosis point and rolls Strength + Medicine (difficulty 7). If the Shadow Lords next
attack does any damage, the target will bleed continuously, losing one health level per turn for a number of turns
equal to the number of successes rolled. This hemorrhaging is considered lethal damage.
Source: Book of the Wyrm
Call ElementalRank 4 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
As theUktena Gift;however, the Dancers call is always answered by a Wyrm elemental, such as a furmling or
Hogling.
Uktena Gift: The Garou is able to call one of the four classic elementals to his aid (earth, air, fire or water). An
elemental teaches this Gift.
System: The player spends one Gnosis point and rolls Gnosis (difficulty of the areas Gauntlet). She must then roll
Manipulation + Occult (difficulty 7) to make the elemental look favorably upon the Garou. The elemental vanishes at
the end of the scene.

DoppelgangerRank 4 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Garou may take the exact likeness of any other human, wolf or Garou. A chameleon-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player spends one Gnosis point and rolls Charisma + Performance (difficulty 8). Traits arent
duplicated, but everything else, including voice, posture and scent, is identical. The effects last for one day per
success.
Source: Core book revised.
Crawling PoisonRank 4 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
When the Dancer calls upon this Gift, his fangs turn black with venom, and his breath grows more foul than is
normal. The venom kills humans and animals slowly, and, the victim suffers terrible agony as the venom spreads
through his body. A Garous regeneration will protect her from the pain and eventual death, but only at the cost of her
normal rapid healing.
System: After making a successful bite attack that inflicts damage after soak, roll the Dancers Gnosis (difficulty is
the victims Stamina, or Stamina +2 if the victim hasResist Toxin). Each success inhibits the victims regeneration
for one hour. When used on humans or animals, the poison subtracts one from all Physical Attributes each hour. If
Strength or Dexterity reach zero, the victim may not move without assistance. If Stamina reaches zero, the victim dies
a painful and messy death. The toxin may be stopped only by supernatural means. Mothers Touch(difficulty as
normal) can negate it on a one-for-one success ratio, but the Garou using it must spend one Gnosis point per success.
Source: Core book revised.
Beautiful LieRank 4 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
When the Veil is endangered, Gaia protects the minds of the innocent with the Delirium, granting false memories and
delusions. Since Black Spirals commit particularly grisly crimes, they can use this Gift to channel the Delirium,
producing further misdirection or even summoning false evidence to cover up their activities.
Spirits serving Kirijama and Hakaken are both proficient in this sort of activity. They typically employ subterfuge todeceive those they wish to suborn. If a werewolf recruits enough servants for their scheme, this Gift may be taught in
exchange. A Black Spiral with a particularly ingenious Dance of Cunning may also learn this Gift in the Shattered
Labyrinth, especially if he exposes (or perpetuates) a particularly brilliant lie.
System: A Black Spiral observing a particularly unsubtle crime may attempt to cover it up with a beautiful lie. He
begins to chant a story of what humans nearby are actually seeing. The Dancer spends one point of Gnosis and rolls
Wits + Subterfuge; the difficulty is 6 (as long as the story is vaguely plausible). Mass delusions follow, and
ephemeral evidence (e.g. animal footprints, a bloody chainsaw, saliva from a rabid dog) remains for an entire hour to
obfuscate the truth.

Mask TaintRank 5 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
A Dancer with this Gift can hide his Wyrm-taint from all senses or Gifts that may detect it.
System: Spend two Gnosis points and roll the Dancers Appearance + Subterfuge (difficulty 8). The effect lasts for
one scene. Shadow Lords may still detect Wyrm-taintwithSense Wyrm (difficulty 8)from a Dancer thus
veiled.
Source: Core book revised.
Avatar of the WyrmRank 5 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Dancer assumes an awful and horrific visage, perhaps even a facet of the Wyrm itself (albeit a small one). The
Dancer increases in size, it skin becomes scaly and greenish-gray, and his claws increase in length to jagged, vicious
knives dripping with venom. His howl becomes a terrifying roar. Only a Maeljin Incarna, one of the Wyrms most
powerful avatars, can teach this Gift.
System: Spend one Gnosis point and one Rage point. The Dancer must concentrate for a full turn, at the end of which
the transformation occurs. The Dancer shifts to Crinos automatically (if he wasnt already in that form) and adds an
additional dot to all Physical Attributes, and one Bruised health level. Additionally, his claws inflict an additional die
of damage and are unsoakable. Finally, treat Delirium as three levels worse to onlookers.
Source: Core book revised.
BalefireRank 5 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
The Dancer can hurl balls of sickly green flame at her enemies. Balefire, as the very lifeblood of the Wyrm, is very
dangerous to werewolves. It often inflicts hideous and life-threatening mutations, as well as tainting the victim
heavily. Its impossible to dodge Balefireit moves with a malicious intelligence. It can only be resisted.
System: Roll Dexterity + Athletics, taking the standard ranged-combat modifier into account. The victim resists with
Stamina (difficulty 8), and his roll must equal or exceed the Dancers successes. If the victim fails to resist, the
Balefires influence mutates her. Treat each success over resistance as one level of aggravated damage for thepurposes of healing/rejecting the mutation. This damage is not soakable (the resistance roll is the soak roll). Afflicted
werewolves may grow extra (useless) eyes, lose all of her fur and hair, go blind, deaf or anosmic (no sense of taste or
smell) temporarily. Until she rejects the mutations and undergoes a Rite of Cleansing, she registers a strong taint to

Totem FormRank 5 Black Spiral Dancer Gift
This powerful Gift allows a Black Spiral to take on the appearanceand much of the powerof her packs Bane
totem. For instance, a Dancer sword to the Dark Fungus might sprout slime molds and toadstools in place of fur,
radiating a cloud of halluciongenic spores, while a bastard of the Green Dragon might swell into a draconian war
form the equal of any Mokol.
This Gift is only taught by the packs totem spirit, and only to the Dancer who shows the most promise. Some
packmates have been known to horribly maim one another in the process of proving who is worthy to learn this Gift.
System: The Dancer must spend a point of Willpower and roll Stamina + Primal-Urge (difficulty 7) to make the shift.
It takes a full turn to transform, although the form lasts for the duration of the scene. The Storyteller must best
adjudicate the appearance and abilities of the totem form; for instance, one of the Hakkans bastards might radiate
fear so intense that opponents have to make Willpower rolls just to act against him, much less confront him. The
result, of course, should always be impressive.
