Spiritus (PTC)

From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference

Spiritus is a class of Transmutations and is practised by those who follow or once followed the Argentum Refinement. With these abilities, a Promethean can blend in, study, and manipulate other supernatural creatures such as vampires, werewolves, mages, spirits and ghosts.

In each case where a (Material) is mentioned in the name of the ability, the Material is one appropriate to the supernatural creature's weakness. Likewise, where (Type) is seen, the Promethean will usually take on the characteristics of a chosen supernatural.

For the name of each ability for each specific supernatural type, replace (Material) with the following:

• Vampires - Sunlight
• Werewolves - Silver
• Mages - Salt
• Iron - Spirits
• Nettle - Ghosts

And for each kind of supernatural, replace (Type) with the following:

• Vampires - Night
• Werewolves - the Moon
• Mages - Sorcery

Usually, only one type or material may be activated at a time; for example, a Promethean cannot activate both Mask of Night and Mask of Sorcery at the same time. It is also implied that any creature types not listed in the Promethean books, such as changelings, can also be manipulated in a similar manner.
