A Note on Tainted Vis

Detailed information on tainted vis can be found in Realms of Power: The Infernal, on pages 18 and 19. Those troupes not using that set of rules might instead assume that all tainted vis:

  • Adds 5 instead of 2 to casting totals.
  • Adds three botch dice per pawn, for non-Infernally aligned users.
  • Causes a temporary Personality trait of 1, in a sin appropriate to the original demon, in any person who carries the tainted vis for a year. This trait becomes permanent if the carrier successfully acts on the Trait.
