Arija, the Falcon-Ship (Might 35)
This daimon takes the form of a living ship, of mid-size but without any means to steer or direct it or even sails. It can be directed by the thoughts of the captain and flies through the water as swift as a bird on the wing without regard for wind or tide.
When invoked the theurge must negotiate with the daimon for its services for a set period. It will only ever agree to travel within a set range and this must not overlap any area covered by an existing bargain made by any other aspect of the daimon.
This is a powerful ally for a theurge about to undertake a perilous voyage at sea.

Powers:
Voice of the Ship, variable points (Init +4)
The ship can speak into the mind of any person touching its decks and hear their replies. This must penetrate magic resistance but costs 0 might. For a cost of 3 might this power can be extended to follow a single person (usually the captain) for the day, even if they leave the ship.
Untouched by Hail and Rain, 5 points (Init +4)
R: Personal D: Sun T: Group
This power makes the ship and anyone on it be untouched by even the most severe weather phenomenon. It can sail through the fiercest gale as if it were a calm summer’s breeze.
Unhindered by Wind and Tide, 0 points (Init +4)
R: Touch D: Concentration T: Individual
This power propels the ship at a prodigious pace through the water without need for wind or sails, borne along by an unnatural current.
Untouched by Crashing Wave, 3 points (Init +4)
R: Personal D: Sun T: Individual
This power protects the ship from all waves, natural or unnatural, which break before reaching it as if striking an invisible barrier.
