Waking of Horrors
"Sometimes I remember... the immense halls, the strange glow of the hysneh. The rubble of the forges... the blast, the steam and the cries of metal... yes, often I remember. The faces that we now hate leave a strange imprint on my mind... Sadness... But my host doesn't like these strange thoughts. No, no regrets! The think moves about and claws at my soul to push me towards anger. The faces twist in pain... my pain! I will make them pay for this! The think likes my hatred, it moves about more and more. It wants more strength, more power... It also remembers. Rage and fury! It wants to rip my flesh to make place for its own. More pain... more anger. Lots of blood for less suffering. Yet the thing wants more... devour the Darkness. I must feed it... I don't have a choice."

If more than one tentacle are enchanted, the effects are cumulative and can lower an adversary's characteristic to under 0. Mahal can use his tentacles against various adversaries or cumulate their effects a single one. The penalties' targets must be chosen at the beginning of the Combat phase right after the separation of frays. The penalties caused apply only as long as Mahal remains in contact with the victim.
