Pumpen (Various)
Pumpen (Any Archangel created before 1600 AD)
There might be a civilized, even sterile way of putting this, but there is not much point: this attunement allows an angel to force a demon to more or less continuously fart for the next day. Technically, the demon only farts whenever he uses a supernatural ability, but the attunement is merciless in defining "supernatural:" even use of a human language counts, unless the demon in question learned it completely on his own. The constant farting is worth a -3 to reaction rolls; more importantly, it causes a point of disturbance every minute, which will increase by 1 every five minutes until the demon either goes an entire hour without doing anything "supernatural," or else flees the corporeal plane entirely. This attunement only works if the angel has unquestionable proof that the target is a demon, but otherwise there are no other restrictions.
This attunement was very popular in the days before the effects of disturbance on Tether-formation were fully understood, and its use has fallen into disfavor in the last few centuries. Most Archangels from the period would hand it out, but none with the enthusiasm that Laurence did. He is, in fact, the Archangel still most likely (read: not very) to gift a Servitor with this ability, particularly if the Servitor asked to be surprised...
