===Goetic Fracture (Severe; Extreme)===

The mage surrenders his magic to a personified Vice. His madness spawns a fragmentary goetic demon -- less than a true spirit but more than a voice in his head. He can't cast spells unless he either accedes to the demon's wishes (typically, by satisfying his Vice through increasingly extreme acts) or psychically overpowers it.

'''Effect:''' To do the latter, make an extended Wisdom roll every turn. The target number is equal to the mage's own Resolve. This requires the afflicted character's full concentration, so he can't do anything other than move his base Speed while battling the Goetic Fragment. If the character accumulates more successes than his Resolve + Composure, he subdues the demon, regaining control of his magic until the next time he regains Willpower for satisfying his Vice. This derangement is especially prevalent among Banishers because so many believe that their abilities are fundamentally selfish. Some even believe that their magic really does emanate from a demon. When active, the Goetic Fragment frequently speaks to the afflicted sorcerer. It taints his dreams and takes a shape in the mage's mind's eye consistent with his Vice, personality and beliefs.
