It’s been that kind of day. Yeah, the kind of day that would require THIS to be resurrected. Moo hoo bwah hah.
Pumpen
(Any Archangel created before 1600 AD)
There might be a civilized, even sterile way of putting this, but why try? This Attunement allows an angel to force demons to randomly and inexorably fart for the next twenty-four hours. Technically, the demon only farts when he uses supernatural abilities, but Pumpen is utterly merciless in defining “supernatural:” even the use of a human language counts, unless the demon in question learned it completely on his own.
The constant farting is worth a -3 to reaction rolls; more importantly, it causes a point of disturbance every minute, which will increase by 1 every five minutes until the demon either goes an entire hour without doing anything “supernatural,” or else flees the corporeal plane entirely. Pumpen only works if the angel has unquestionable proof that the target is a demon, but otherwise there are no other restrictions.
Pumpen was very popular in the days before the effects of disturbance on Tether-formation were fully understood, but its use has fallen into disfavor in the last few centuries. Most Archangels during the Medieval period would hand it out as a minor reward, but none did with quite the same enthusiasm as did Laurence, Archangel of the Sword and Commander of the Host. He is, in fact, the Archangel still most likely (read: not very) to gift a Servitor with this ability, particularly if the Servitor asked to be surprised.
