Corrupting Aura

A Corrupting Aura is a social effect that turns ordinary mortals into Touched, slowly, by its presence.

Leviathans and Promethians have a Corrupting Aura simply from their presence. So do True Fae, and the Dreamlands themselves.

The impact on a mortal is expressed in dots, and compaired to Willpower, both points and dots. It has a Minor and a Major effect.

The Minor effect takes hold whenever corruption exceeds current willpower points.

The Major effect takes place for a full scene whenever the victim spends a willpower point and falls under the minor effect.

If corruption exceeds the permanent willpower dots, the Major effect takes place nearly all the time. In addition, losing dots of Corruption no longer occurs naturally. Certain magics may allow it, certain therapies may mitigate the damage, but once the corruption has reached this point it is very difficult to undo. Most effective cures start by somehow increasing the victim's willpower: spending Experience to regain lost willpower, improving Composure or Resolve, or improving Integrity.

In addition, once you're Corrupted by one thing, everything else tends to lose out.

((normal people are assumed to have a WP of 4, and have 2 points, and spend under stress?))

((This may be the normal mechanic for becoming Touched.))
