Endurance of the Enraged: 0 points, Init. 0, Corpus: Argenta suffers no penalties from wounds, excepting Defense penalties.

Envisioning; 1 point, Init +0, Mentem. Obsession, 1 point, Init –5, Vim: Avaricious.

Summon Demons, Points equal Might, Init +1, Vim*.* This power summons lesser demons, and is the source of Eustace's daughter and minions. This power's cost is vast, and so it is used only rarely, and when Argenta can rest in powerful Infernal auras, to regain her strength quickly.

Tools of The Ravagers, 3 points, Init 0, varies by thing produced: This power allows Argenta to summon valuable items, which are then used by her followers in their piracy. It costs her roughly 1 Might point per pound of mortal cost to create these items. Items must be props suitable for use by her pirates. Argenta summons the apes possessed by Eustace's Mockeries using this power.

These items are summoned by her power, not created, and so are not resisted by Parma Magica. A barrel of burning pitch that suddenly appears may be mistaken for a resistible attack, and may fool player characters into believing Argenta is unafraid of fire.

Waxing Tide of Humors, 3 points, Init +2, Mentem: Causes passion to overcome sense. The victim must make a stress roll against an Ease Factor of 9, modified by appropriate Personality Traits to keep the emotion in check. This power is often used immediately after a use of the Obsession power.

Weakness: Vulnerable to fire (the touch of any flame causes a Light Wound.)

Vis: 6 pawns Herbam vis sordida in teeth.

Appearance: Argenta looks like a great carved figurehead, of a woman with wind-blown hair and an exposed bosom. Her eyes shine with infernal flame, and her mouth is a vast, sharklike cavity, edged with teeth like broken planks.

This demoness patronizes mortals who engage in banditry by sea. She is a Fury, a demon of discord and battle, but she is similar to, and has many of the powers of, a False Goddess. She is the provider of the mockery demons provided to Eustace, and described later.
