Miscellaneous

Footnotes

1. The words that Cleopatra's Bane use to cast spells are all in Parseltongue, and the gestures have a more sinuous fluidity to them than the standard Hermetic gestures.

2. Guiverna's Special Magic Feat is to turn herself into an asp (or Egyptian cobra). It is the equivalent of a MuCo(An) spell, with a base of 10 (Turn a human into a land animal,with an Animal requisite), R: Personal, D: Sun (that you can end at will) +2, T: Individual, Soft Words and No Gestures +2, for a final Invocation total of 30; as the spell is Personal, it does not need to penetrate Guiverna's Parma.

3. Parseltongue works on any serpent, Magical Serpent and Worm, but nothing else.
Should it need to penetrate, it has a penetration of 5 times the skill.
Otherwise, it acts as a combination of:
- Animal Ken
- Inoffensive to Animals
- Entrancement, at voice range
- Summon Animals.
