| Notes | The Borrowed Mask of Qadish is a subtle parasitic spirit that slips unseen into living hosts, hiding behind their eyes while leaving no trace to magic or sense. It bends perception with delicate illusions, nudging allies toward doubt, error, and quiet betrayal rather than open violence. In the crowded streets and shadowed courts of a big city, it thrives on misjudgment, turning small mistakes into cascading disasters. Those touched by it seem almost themselves, save for a faint hesitation, as if something else briefly considers each word before it is spoken. The spirit uses Covert to remain completely undetectable to magical and spiritual observation. It uses Puppeteer to take control of an innocent bystander or even one of the player characters. While hidden within its host, it projects mental illusions using Glamour to distract, disorient, or trick the party into attacking the wrong targets |

Non-random features
| List | Feature |
|---|---|
| Spirit Ability | Covert - Spirit gains the Stealth skill at 50%+INT+CHA. It can hide from active magical or spiritual observation, by opposing the Perception skill of the observer. |
| Spirit Ability | Puppeteer - The possessing spirit can control the physical body of others. It can be used benevolently to take control of a totem animal or protect a spirit magician’s body whilst he is discorporate. Hostile spirits on the other hand, use this ability to steal the body of a foe to achieve the spirit’s strongest desires. |
| Spirit Ability | Glamour - Enables the spirit to create illusions within a range equal to its POW in metres. This glamour is a mental illusion that works in a similar way to the sorcery spell Phantom (Sense) (page 171). The spirit can affect one sense per level of its Intensity, with a Magnitude of twice that. |
