Sykane

"“My poor child. You have been so much abused, when you have so much to give.”"Sykane is a power who approached Osrin Baralet through a ritual of three dreams. The first two were nightmares the likes of which are not unfamiliar to Osrin, and may have passed relatively unremarked upon had it not been for the third, which Sykane interrupted, first using the guise of an old friend of Osrin's before adopting a different form.

Sykane seems sweet in comparison to other powers who have approached the characters, and pled to Osrin in the name of mercy and protection. She offered Osrin the ability to heal as well as hurt, claiming all she wanted was to be able to alleviate unnecessary suffering in Barovia.

Immediately after making the deal with Sykane, Osrin discovered one of the perks of such arrangements, when in her initial fight with Strahd, she was given a surge of power and strength beyond her normal means the minute she was in danger of falling.
