[SF]
Only a Death's Breath-spirit may teach this rite, and only Silent Striders
and members of the Ivory Priesthood may practice it. To perform the rite,
the priest must purge himself of all sins and Harano. (This usually
requires a day of fasting and meditation.) During the day of purification
the Garou must also contemplate the thought of dying.

The player spends a Gnosis point and makes a Willpower roll (difficulty 7)
or the character risks plunging into a deep death-obsessed Harano for
the rest of the scene. If the roll is successful, the Garou sees a Death's
Breath-spirit around twilight and must let it breathe into his mouth. The
Garou may now enter the Dark Umbra (also known as the Shadowlands; see
Wraith: The Oblivion) and appears as a dark patch in the penumbra. The 
Garou may stay there until the next morning.
