The Black Spiral Philodox can distort the sound of his own footsteps, creating a series of illusory noises. Instead of one werewolf, enemies will hear an entire pack. Howls, shadowy apparitions, footfalls and even illusory scents are all possible.
This Gift allows the Black Spiral Dancer to use sonar like a bat. He may act in complete darkness without impairment. Black Spiral Dancers with this Gift have large, bat-like ears. Even in Homid form, they have abnormally large ears. Corrupted bat-spirits teach this Gift.
The werewolf's claws and fangs become obsidian daggers, capable of tearing the soul loose from Gaia's cycle and pinning it to the Dark Umbra. Any creature slain by this Gift is guaranteed to leave behind a ghost, which is anchored by dark magic to its killer. Outside of risky Umbral quests, only killing the Black Spiral Dancer who used this Gift can return a victim's soul to Gaia. A Nihilach teaches this Gift.
As the Red Talon Gift, but the werewolf can also choose to alter the evidence to match another Garou so long as she has a piece of the target, such as hair or blood. Abliphets teach this Gift.
This talent endows the Black Spiral with a pair of spiraling, chitinous black-and-green horns. Usually, they're worn as antlers, although some Dancers have learned to protrude them from other parts of their bodies.
The werewolf emits a fearful howl that causes those who hear it to run in terror. A Banshee -- a mournful spirit of the dead -- teaches this Gift.
Setting a particular quarry in her mind, the Black Spiral Dancer crafts a howl specifically designed to elicit terror in her prey. If her victim can hear the howl, it strikes terror into his heart, haunting him whenever he tries to find rest. A Nocturna teaches this Gift.
The Dancer can extrude large flaps of skin under her arms, resembling a flying squirrel's membranes. When not in use, the flaps usually shrink into the Dancer's arms and sides, where they are not detectable.
The favored children of the Plague Rats (Apocalypse, p. 90) may choose to learn this Gift to represent their fallen totem's favor. The fallen werewolf who knows this Gift finds that ordinary diseases just can't take hold in his system. He does act as a carrier, though, and can inadvertently (or deliberately) infect passersby with a cough or sneeze. Plague Child does not especially protect against supernatural plagues.
The Black Spiral Dancer can breathe spiritual toxins into the wall between worlds, turning the Gauntlet into a deadly trap. A Rust Spider teaches this Gift.
By speaking with electricity spirits, the Garou causes a blackout over a widespread area. An electricity elemental teaches this Gift.
The Red Talon becomes the embodiment of all of humanity’s primal fears of the wolf, carrying a heavy miasma of ancient terror about her. A fear-spirit teaches this Gift.
The Black Spiral Dancers live beneath the surface of the Earth, down in the chthonic darkness and close to the inhuman gibbering monsters that they worship as incarnations of their god. A Garou's long run is difficult through the tunnels, as it depends on having plenty of room to run in straight lines and periodic sustenance. The Black Spirals turned in their earliest days to the spirits that cavort in the wake of Thunderwyrms, hoping that such spirits could teach them magics to increase their speed when traveling under the earth.
Stolen from the Black Furies, with a snarl, a Black Spiral Dancer can force a target to kneel before him, agony coursing through her body until she submits. Spirals with this gift delight in forcing a proud Garou to the ground just to kill her while she's on her knees. Raptors teach this Gift.
The Ahroun's shadow becomes solid and sticky, trapping unwary foes and making them easy prey. A H'ruggling teaches this Gift.
The Dancer with this Gift is more intimidating and terrifying than normal. A sneer from her is as effective as a full-throated grown from another.
A Dancer may use this Gift to transform her skin into a lumpy, leather, odious sickly hide that grants her additional protection from harm. Once the Wyrm Hide wears off, it slides oozing and bubbling off the Black Spiral Dancer, leaving a congealing, smelly mess where she stood.
The Black Spiral hardens his skin into a leathery hide, covering himself with pustulent, discolored flesh. If he's actually wounded, the skin around the wound takes on a bluish tinge.
