Bone Shadows deal with spirits on a regular basis, and it helps to speak from a position of strength. The best way to gain such a position, of course, is to know a spirit’s ban, but finding out this information is a matter of careful investigation (the Gift: Read Spirit works, too, but not every pack has a Crescent Moon). The Rite of the Spirit’s Promise determines a spirit’s ban fairly quickly, but the rite also risks reprisal — spirits don’t like being so closely investigated by Uratha. A Bone Shadow performing this rite on a spirit more powerful that he is had better have his pack handy.

Performing the Rite

The werewolf need not be able to see the spirit in order to use this rite, but he must be in the spirit’s presence or know its name. The Bone Shadow intones a quiet First Tongue phrase asking for insight, and draws a symbol in the dirt or on a wall. If the ritual succeeds, knowledge of the spirit’s ban becomes clear to the werewolf. In any case, though, the spirit might notice what is happening, and it can use the connection created by the rite to attack the ritualist.
