Power: Significant.
Description: A high quality fursuit, probably hand-made given the lack of manufacturer’s markings. Inside are a series of frenetically inked entreaties to various lunar deities - Selene, Hors, Tu’er Ye - others are likely given that the markings continue down further inside the suit than casual observation would allow, but most owners are loath to risk wrecking them to find out. That said, some older suits tend to be a bit banged up and show signs of careful repair given the recharging method.
Effect: Donning the varúlfursuit after either consuming fly agaric or applying henbane salve produces the effect of vestimancy formula spell “Loup Garou Couture” (pg.166 of Book 1: Play). Those without a vestimancer identity to substitute for animal abilities may either use another relevant identity or roll at 50%, whichever is better. Different types of suit produce different transformations than the normal spell which depend on the animal represented. These grant distinct levels of wound threshold, damage bonuses for natural weaponry and animal talents depending on the form, but all other aspects of the magick remain the same.
Freshly acquired varúlfursuits have a variable number of charges (1d10-5 with a minimum of zero), however there is a grisly method of bolstering reserves. Once per month an additional charge can be added by killing the animal it is styled after, barehanded, while wearing the suit. The animal cannot be incapacitated or restrained beforehand. Some versions incorporate weaponry into their design in the form of fangs and claws (dealing +3 damage), these don’t seem to violate the barehanded requirement. People who own these tend to be pretty circumspect about it given the reputation this creates, whether they do it or not.
There is also the horrible story going around that varúlfursuits can be recharged with people. That murder might be even more effective than the normal method. Most in the occult underground pshaw this as baseless gossip. Certainly no one has tried it yet. At least, no one who’ll admit to it.
