Effect

Mark a target with a powerful pheromone signature. For 24 hours:

  • All animals within Far range can detect the target and are drawn toward or repelled from them (caster’s choice)
  • The target cannot benefit from Stealth against creatures with scent-based detection
  • Other Flesh Shapers automatically detect the mark (it’s a professional calling card)

Resist

GRIT + Resilience vs. your Channeling Sum negates.

Steps

+24 hours duration per Step.

Special

In the Fen, this is a death sentence — Fen-Wraiths hunt by spiritual scent, and the pheromone mark makes the target a beacon. In the Scorchveil, it attracts Sand Mites and worse. Context determines severity.
