Xefas got me thinking about some new heresy for Infernals building off of the Past Lives background. This is essentially a speed-bump charm that opens the door up for things like weaponized limit breaks, such as driving what is left your past life into the Heart of Tears limit break, weeping tears of scarlet flame, and burning everyone within a certain range.
Fading Light Potency
Cost: (1 limit or 3m); Mins: Essence 3; Type: Permanent
Keywords: Heretical
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Fond Remembrance of Adrián, Nightmare Fugue Vigilance
Many Infernals regret tapping into their past lives. Of course, the memories are useful at times, as are the benefits that come with them, but the constant usurpation of one's own body is inexcusable. By funneling their vast power through the reflective nature of Adorjan, they may force what is left of the so-called “god-king” to relive their greatest failures over and over again, and feed off their suffering.
This charm permanently enhances the Infernal, allowing him to gain the dice bonus from the Past Life background a number of additional times per session equal to their (Essence/2), though each additional usage beyond the normal limit costs a single point of limit. In addition, whenever the Infernal's past life would take over, they may spend 3 motes and imprison the Solar in a private Hell filled with naught but scarlet fire and despair, preventing the past life from displacing the Warlock. The Heretic deems this a just punishment for the fallen king's failures, allowing them to roll (Past Life) dice, and gain a number of temporary points of willpower equal to the successes. The Infernal can only gain willpower in this way once per scene.
Finally, purchasing this charm permanently enhances Fond Remembrance of Adrian, inflicting (Conviction + Past Life) dice of lethal damage. As a purely cosmetic enhancement, rather than lacerating, burning and freezing those who would threaten their inviolability, the Infernal burns them with terrible scarlet flame, seamlessly blending Malfeas's world ending rage, and Adorjan's limitless thirst for slaughter.
