• Lamp of Faith

Dramatic Failure: The Evocation fails and the Demon looses 1 point of Faith.
Failure: The Evocation fails with no effect.
Success: The Demon can see the Faith of Mortals and Demons and get a rough sense of a Demon’s reserves or a mortal’s Morality. Another Demon can roll Wits + Composure to detect the use of this Evocation.

Turmoil: The Demon senses only the absence of Faith. This allows him to clearly pick out Supernatural creatures such as werewolves and Mages.

•• Send Vision
This Evocation gives the Demon a means of instructing Thralls who Invoke him seeking guidance or orders or it can be used to silently pass orders to a Thrall in sensory range. Its utility has suffered in the modern era as Tormented Demons send only instructions to wreak havoc or seek revenge on the Demon’s enemies.
