MAHŌ-SENSEI Sokori can use any mahō technique in the core rulebook (beginning on page 224). She generally uses Unholy Fervor to empower her minions and Grip of Anguish on any PCs attempt to engage her directly. At the GM’s discretion, she may also have access to the new mahō techniques in Shadowlands (beginning on page 116).

WALKING THE WAY Sokori can draw upon her Kitsu heritage to part the veil separating the Spirit Realms from Ningen-dō, then pass through to emerge in a new place. For the purposes of this adventure, Sokori is presumed to use this ability only once, the first time the PCs encounter her, to escape the confrontation. As a Movement and Support action, Sokori begins stepping out of the Realm of Mortals, her form shimmering slightly. At the start of her next turn, she vanishes and reappears in another location at range 0–6 of her prior location (including a location out of line of sight).

WHISPERS IN BLOOD In a vile fusion of her Kitsu ancestor-speaking and mahō abilities, Sokori can use the blood of a mortal to perceive much about that mortal’s flaws and weaknesses—and then use that information against them. Sokori must have access to the blood of a mortal; enough to coat the blade of a small knife is sufficient. As a downtime activity, she makes a TN 2 Theology (Water) check; if it is successful, she learns all of that mortal’s advantages and disadvantages.
