Infusion

Infusion is an Art of the Kithain.

Overview

Infusion is the Art that assists Nockers in creating all of their wonderful clockwork and chimerical items. It involves the connection of "FUBARS" and other chimerical entities into physical or chimerical forms. With a few rare exceptions, only the Nockers use Infusion.

Nockers jealously guarded knowledge of this Art for centuries, until the demands of survival during the long years of the Interregnum finally led the nockers to share at least a few of their secrets with other crafters, particularly boggans and Autumn sidhe of House Dougal whose probity was beyond question. Nockers hold any who suggest that an Art might be inherently Seelie or Unseelie in baleful contempt, and so this Art is freely used by members of either court.

Though other kiths potentially could learn it, most do not see the appeal in learning such a strange and specialized Art.

• Attribute: Intelligence

Cantrips

• Harden - Prepares a wild chimera by turning it into a crafted chimera, allowing further applications of Infusion to be used on it.
• Toughen - Adds durability to chimerical materials, including other changelings, granting resistance both to damage and Banality's undoing.
• FUBAR Generation - Creates and enslaves a FUBAR, a chimerical creature that can serve as a Glamour battery.
• Animantis - Produces a golem, a mechanical servant that will serve the Nocker and aid him in his work.
• Gilgul - A terribly dangerous cantrip that, if successful, adds sentient thought to a chimera or animantis, and possibly even a true soul.
