Dice Pool: None
Cost: 1 lethal health level + 9 Legend
Whe the God feeds his ichor to a mortal and uses this Coon, the mortal’s body sweels and expands dramatically in mere moments. This process is painful and ugly, but it’s mercifully quick. When it’s over, the mortal has become a giant. He’s half agains as tall as he was originally and sheated in powerful muscle. He gains eight free Attribute dots to be divided up between Strength and Stamina as the God wishes, as well as two dots each of Epic Strength and Epic Stamina. (Knack-selection is up to the player.) His Legend is 2, and he has imposed on him the following Virtue ratings: Courage 5, Endurance 3, Expression 1, Loyalty 5. (See “imposed Virtues’ on p 97 Scion Demigod.) The empowerment also adds eight -0 health levels to the mortal’s original total.
A Scion cannot use this Boon on a beast. If the listed time elapses before which a Scion must restore his Jotunblut bond with a mortal, the giant goes free and is considered a generic giant. He doesn’t have the Dark Virtues normally attributed to giants, but he loses all imposed Loyalty and responds to any physical threat in a Berserker Fury (per the Courage Virtue Extremity). Another key difference is that a rogue giant doesn’t have the Eitr supernatural power (Scion Her pg 314). If he should be fed eitr from a true giant, however, he irrevocably becomes a true giant himself (of whatever type fed him the eitr). At that point, the giant’s imposed Courage becomes Rapacity, his Endurance becomes Ambition, his Expression becomes Zealotyr, and his Loyalty becomes Malice. (These twisted Dark Virtues retain the originals’ ratings and function as written on pg 309-310 Scion Hero.)

Lest it be forgotten, the Aesir defeated the giants in the ancient days. As a result, the divinity of the Aesir can purge a giant’s foul influence on a mortal’s body. If the God can subdue a thrall, feed that thrall a measure of his ichor and activate this Boon, the God’s ichor destroys the giant’s eitr. Any damage done to the thrall’s Intelligence is repaired, though any beneifits to the thrall’s Strength or Stamina dissipate as well. Fortunately, the removal of eitr also removes the unnatural loyalty the thrall was forced to feel toward the giant who originally fed him the eitr.
A God can use this Boon on only one tharall at a time, and it has no effect on berserks, dire beasts or giants. A thrall who receives the benefit of this Boon feels no unnatural loyalty toward the God who used it, and he remains immune to the effects of eitr for one year.
