Pumpen (Any Archangel created after 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...
