Devour Sin, 0 points, Init +2, Mentem: Ammit can sense the nature and weight of sins on a soul. This power involves understanding the depth of evil within creatures she encounters.

Soul Consumption, 25 points, Init –5, Corpus: Ammit consumes the soul of a sinner she has judged unworthy, instantly killing them. The victim must be paralyzed or restrained. Requires a successful Might roll against the target's Magic Resistance.
