   Description: You attempt to free the mind and spirit of a summoned pawn.
   Requires: Animate Pawn (Any); Lifespark; 10th level
   Mechanic: You may target a summoned pawn. The pawn’s summoner must succeed at a Resistance roll against your Magic roll or lose control of that pawn. Upon a successful use of this ability, the pawn is considered a character controlled by the Storyteller and may not still obey instructions from its original summoner. The awakened pawn retains all abilities, character points, and levels granted to it by its summoner’s abilities. It is considered to have the minimum amount of experience required to be at its current level, but do not gain any additional experience for the combat in which it is awakened. Awakened pawns no longer have a duration, but any attempt to return a slain pawn to life fail automatically. Awakened pawns are still considered to be of the Minion racial type, in addition to any other racial types of which they may be a member. The effect of this ability is permanent and cannot be reversed. This ability cannot be used in the same cycle as any other offensive action. A target of this ability must be within a number of feet equal to your Magic score. A target of this ability must be a pawn summoned by the Animate Pawn ability chain. Using this ability takes a cycle.
