Mephistopheles’ Instant Gratifications
A red leather-bound tome, with an embossed symbol of a trident piercing a ring on the front; unexpectedly compact and discreet.
Ritual
Decry Those That Deny You. Produce an artifact that lists all those who have wronged you, including gods, alongside their offense, what rightfully they should be called—instead of their name—and what punishment you devise for them. Proceed to memorize the list, and, finally, to destroy it.
- Critical failure: Unbeknownst to you, a part of the artifact remains intact, to be inconveniently discovered by someone listed.
Cantrip
Homunco-Famulus. A small, mute, invisible homunculus made of spoons and knives and buttons and thread, and a clip of your nail, serves you until dawn. It is clever and resourceful, and items no bigger than a coconut become invisible too when it carries them.
Spells
Fame. Your made up name and made up talent are the talk of the town. Everyone’s heard of you, and everyone wants to either be you, be with you, or at least be near you. So long as you smile for your fans, doors open, opportunities arise, and folks try to please you. Until dawn, at least.
Fortune. You are believed to be incredibly rich, as rich as kings. Merchants gift you their wares, in the hopes of future investments. You can get credit anywhere. Until dawn, at least.
Preternatural Potency. For 1 scene, your body becomes the epitome of dexterity and strength, toned, muscular, and red as the devil. Add +2 to Brawn and +4 to Agility, or vice versa.
Shapeshifting. You take on the form of another person or animal, no bigger than you or smaller than a mouse. It lasts for 1 scene.
