Wood Dragon's Claw

Cost: 10m
Target: Caster

Until the character wishes otherwise and terminates this spell, her hands warp and twist into the shape of huge gnarled claws of oak. These are lesser replicas of the claws of the greater elemental dragons of Wood. The character receives 15 points to allocate to the claws' Accuracy, Defense, Damage and Rate. The damage inflicted by the claws is lethal. No single rating may exceed (the caster's Essence + Occult). At the beginning of each action, the character can reflexively reallocate the 15 points however she chooses.

Attacks made with these claws have Speed 5. They are considered bare-handed unarmed Martial Arts punches. The character can use these claws to parry mundane armed and unarmed attacks without needing a stunt.
