Swarm Vessel?

[the_dark_one]

I know that it is possible for a celestial to have an animal vessel, but is it possible to have a vessel that takes the form of those animals that manifest themselves as swarms? (I'm thinking of a demon that can take the form of a cloud of flies, which would be pretty appropriate). What are the costs per level of a swarm vessel, if it is possible? Does anyone know if there are rules for this?

I would think that is a special vessel type for Kyros of Animals. I don't think anyone else would have that power, it's what makes Jordi and his Kyro's unique.

Though I think someone was giving that type of vessel to sevators of Belzebub. It was a non-canon write up.

That was me. I created a Servitor Attunement for Demons of Corruption (under Beelzebub) that lets them form a temporairy vessel out of a swarm of flies. The main purpose of it is to be able to affect the Corporeal world while still in Celestial form via the flies condenscing together around one's Celestial Form.

Yes, this is basically the Kyrio of Jordi attunement, though that's for possession, not a vessel. As a vessel, I would price it as a regular vessel that had a lot of special features -- a lot of PD, no vital organs, etc.

And no, it won't be consistent with canon -- in canon, only Kyrios of Jordi can be insect swarms. Other celestials are limited to vertebrates (and sometimes inanimate objects).

Celestials yes, but Ethereals with a Primal attunement to Animals and an insect Image can form swarm vessels (see EPG page 52). Therefore I might make Kyrio of animals Partially Restricted so other Servitors of animals can take swarm vessels

Thank you. I'd actually forgotten about the Jordi thing.

When I said appropriate I was not referring to In Nomine cannon, but rather to all the stories of demons and thier associations with flies...
