gem – if the entity is taken over by a powerful hostile<br />

Spirit or Undead, the creator may be vanquished and a<br />

dangerous evil loosed upon the world.<br />

7.3<br />

EMPOWERED ABILITIES<br />

One of the advantages of imbedding either Demons or<br />

Elementals into artificial entities is that they can manifest<br />

magical abilities in their new homes and enhance the<br />

entities’ existing capabilities. These powers are random<br />

– the creator has no control over which powers are<br />

triggered. The powers are also permanent. However, if<br />

the Demon or Elemental is ever expelled from its host<br />

entity, the powers are lost immediately.<br />

7.3.1 DEMONIC POWERS<br />

Demonic Powers are classified according to their potency<br />

into four degrees. In order of increasing might,<br />

these are Demonic Minor Powers, Demonic Lesser Powers,<br />

Demonic Greater Powers, and Demonic Major Powers.<br />

When a Demon is imbedded into a Golem or a<br />

Construct, one or more Demonic Powers will manifest<br />

automatically. The degree of a manifested Demonic<br />

Power depends on the Demon’s Type; the number of<br />

manifested powers depends on which Imbed Demon #<br />

spell was used. Using a more powerful imbedding spell<br />

than the minimum required, yields the possibility of<br />

multiple powers being manifested. The relationship is<br />

given in the Demonic Power Matrix (Table 7.8) below.<br />

To use, simply cross-index the Demon’s Type with the<br />

Imbed Demon spell, and roll d100 where appropriate.<br />

Example: Maleficius imbeds a Type I Demon using<br />

the Imbed Demon I spell into a new Golem. Using the<br />

Demonic Power Matrix, the Golem manifests a single<br />

Minor Power.<br />

Example: Some years later, Maleficius imbeds a<br />

Type II Demon using his newly learned Imbed Demon<br />

IV spell into an ancient Construct. His player<br />

consults the Demonic Power Matrix and sees that<br />

there are two possible outcomes – 1 Lesser or 2 Lesser<br />

Powers. His player rolls 66 on d100, so two Lesser<br />

Powers manifest.<br />

Having discovered how many powers are manifested,<br />

it is necessary to identify their nature. A separate table is<br />

provided for each degree of Demonic Power. The GM<br />

should roll d100 for each manifested power. If the same<br />

result is generated multiple times, reroll until a different<br />

result is obtained or choose an alternative.<br />

If a Spell Power is manifested, use the Demonic Spell<br />

List Table to identify the originating spell list. In the<br />

event that there is no spell at a given level on a spell list,<br />

use the closest spell on that list instead.<br />

If “GM’s choice” is rolled, the GM may either pick an<br />

entry from the relevant table or consult the specific<br />

Demon entry in Creatures & Monsters and manifest any<br />

one special ability described there.<br />
