The Carnival Melancholy

The Carnival Melancholy is a Left-Handed Legcay associated with the Silver Ladder and the Acanthus path.

Philosophy
People steal souls for many reasons; some seek eternal life, some seek mystical awareness, some simply wish for raw power, but the Carnival Melancholy would be quick to assure you that they aren't doing anything quite so wrong. No, they're not doing this for the long-term, they would assure you. They just need some luck. Just a little bit of your luck, and they'll be back on their feet again, and nobody else will ever have their souls stolen. The performance aspect of this Legacy comes from its origins in America's Great Depression of the 1920s, when the Legacy's founder stole the souls of poverty-stricken farmers in exchange for a few moments of wonder.

Attainments
The Carnival Melancholy make heavy use of the Death Arcanum, with Fate as a secondary focus.

Charlatans of the Carnival learn to steal souls, to attach them into their own bodies, and to then bind them to mundane objects to make them lucky. With some extra training, they can learn to consume those souls they keep to give them good luck.
