Saber-toothed Seraphim

OOC, all I can think of is player or group fiat. When the HG walks into the room, stand up and yell "surprise! My PC has become miraculous." Perhaps it will pay off! Party poppers have been known to help.

IC, you could try eating a miraculous stone or something? If it were easy to do with ordinary resources people would do it all the time RL, but conversely who can say what a miraculous stone might do?

The philosopher's stone made by Siggoia Stainaz...

—Changes lead into gold.

—Changes mundane into miraculous.

—Unifies opposites.

—Contains a contagious perfection.

I tend to think of them as only wild, hungry creatures, but that really only describes the youngest, smallest spirits-- the ones who are just barely more than motes of Essence. Sure, all spirits crave their next meal, and can be "selfish" in their way, but as I reread many of the CofD books, both within and without Werewolf: The Forsaken, I pick up on a strong degree of variety.

A quick example-- Elemental spirits are mentioned to be significantly more patient and disengaged from power struggles than other spirits, because they operate on a totally different frame of reference from, for instance, animal or emotion spirits. Primordial forces have a very different kind of politics, it seems.

I'm taken also with the mention of the "planetary angels," these cold and distant embodiments of the other planets in the Solar System. They're described as cruel, but you also get the sense that part of it is a matter of perspective-- from an Earthly view, these celestial spirits are callous, unfeeling, and imperious, but when one sees Earth through the eyes of an angel of Venusian acid rain, or the embodiment of a whirlwind Jovian storm, it must come across as a chaotic hell. Is it really a surprise they hate it?

I love how, in the Mage book Signs of Sorcery, time is spent on how the different Paths approach spirits, and how varied those interpretations can be; in particular, the Obrimos describe spirits as fallen angels, though ones more tragic than demonic. And there's a weird amount of room for that kind of view-- it's likely not literally true, but spirits can encompass that kind of identity.

Finally, on a similar note, I've been revisiting the older sourcebook Inferno, and thinking on the Maeljin-aligned demons that are given a lot of exploration there. Spirits not of passion, or of ideology, but specifically of sin, who somehow seem to predate the concept of humanity but not the concept of evil.

Once the moon started to be colonized an astonishing thing occurred. As humans began to populate the surface of the moon, inevitably one of these travelers was... a werewolf. As soon as they made their first lunar walk there was a flash of light and heat as the werewolf instantly transformed. Instead of becoming a hairy, snarling creature of murderous frenzy they had become a spectacular being made of both light and void with serene golden eyes. The creature shed it's ruined space suit, unaffected by the lack of atmosphere and heat, floating away with a joyful howl not heard by ears but felt with one's soul...."It turns out that werewolves were always meant to ascend to the moon to become fully transformed. It was truly a curse as the unlucky earth- bound lupine creatures , until recently, had no means of reaching through space to complete the life cycle. No wonder earth werewolves were so filled with rage for thousands of years! Their final form is that of a benevolent celestial being who's role is unknown. They can be found on the moon's surface in deep meditation or floating near settlements, curiously peering at inhabitants. They seem peaceful, with some grand unknowable role among the heavens. Once in a while a Space Werewolf can be observed floating out into the inky black void, howling in the eerie yet heartening way that they do. Where they go, we never know....
