Terror Mask

Level Five Artifact
Bone? Mask

The Terror Mask was found in the Antarctic wastes. This mask's origins are unknown, but were believed to have been a holy object for an amazingly advanced culture, especially considering that it would have been LONG before the rise of man was believed to have occurred.

The Mask taps into the Rage of the primal forces, their unending battle against oftentimes their own power. This Primal Rage can be spent on a number of different effects when the mask is worn. First, the musculature of the bearer may be enhanced, growing to obscene proportions with steel like hardness for 1 Rage per hour. This grants effective armor as well as letting the Infernal parry and deal Lethal damage with bare handed attacks. Second, one Lethal health level or two Bashing may be healed per 1 Rage spent. For 2 Rage, one non-amputation crippling effect may be negated. For double that, even amputations may be regenerated, though such takes (6 - Essence hours) normally with the mask worn the entire time, but should the limb or organ be available the cost is halved and healing is instantaneous.

These are likely not the only powers, but as only the Infernal's Essence in Rage may be spent in an action, these are the first to be discovered. Rage may rise to 20 points and one is gained by a failed defensive stunt that would have granted willpower and where the bearer receives damage or a brutal attack stunt where willpower would normally be gained (though the willpower bonus is sacrificed with a success, but even on a failure, as their wrath grows with each miss). This Rage fades away one every Essence days without wearing the the mask in a vicious (if uneven) battle.
