New Boon Of The Fisher King, created after some collaboration with Team8Mum. Feedback wanted.
BOON OF THE FISHER KING [-4]
Description: This is the power of the legendary Fisher King. Enough said.
Sponsor: The Fisher King is a very old and very powerful faerie who features in the mortal legends of Bran the Blessed and King Arthur. He is the wounded monarch on which the vitality of the land depends, his life sustained by the magic cauldron that can restore the dead to life. Over the years his legends have been mixed with Christian ones, giving him a severe identity crisis and essentially forcing him into senility.
Agenda: The Fisher King seeks to unlock the true potential of others, generally by sending them on quests. He prizes creativity.
Evocation: Evocations cast with the power of the Fisher King work by creating spectral weapons and warriors to aid their caster. They may not be cast in opposition to the Fisher King's agenda.
Thaumaturgy: Rituals cast with the power of the Fisher King may be used to create things or to inspire and aid others in their adventures. They may not be cast in opposition to the Fisher King's agenda.
Evothaum: All rituals that may be cast with the power of the Fisher King may be cast with Evocation's speed and methods.
Extra Benefits: Characters with the Boon Of The Fisher King may spend a Fate Point or take a point of Sponsor Debt to send a willing character on a quest. A quest is a compel against one of the quest-taker's aspects that sends the quest-taker on a journey to accomplish some great task. While on a quest, a character may invoke the aspect that sent them on the quest by taking a point of sponsor debt. In addition, a character with the Boon Of The Fisher King may spend a Fate Point or take a point of Sponsor Debt to give a Fate Point to or remove a point of Sponsor Debt from a character who is on a quest for them.
KOFFEYKID:
All hunger stress causes you to loose powers, hunger stress in excess of your stress track causes you to experience a "Hunger Take-Out," which would generally send you into a mindless feeding sort of headspace. That is the sort of situation that would likely force a White Court Virgin or a Red Court Infected to fall off the wagon and take the full template.

Yeah, I usually go for Take-out when I'm Hungry....
sorry, I could not resist.
Sanctaphrax:
It's not entirely certain.
Personally, I prefer the interpretation that says you need to be nearly taken out to lose powers. Otherwise the length of your Hunger track is basically irrelevant.

re: boon of the Fisher King.
How does evocation summon spectral allies? It seems to be more of an application of summoning thaumaturgy, unless you mean evocation effects created using the fisher king's power look like spectral allies, much like Harry's force evocations can look like a giant fist. Or you could mean that fisher king casters prefer to use their evothaum to summon up allies, in which case I think you shouldn't put it under evocation. Or maybe I'm wrong, and you can summon up creatures with evocation and I missed that.
Either way I'll learn something.
