MET Mechanics:

All other clans fear the Baali. Out of ignorance, envy of Baali power or simple irrational fear, the result is the same: First Tribe children must learn from an early age to be discreet and walk in the shadows without attracting attention. Therefore, knowing how to go unnoticed or, mainly, make the other clans think that the Baali is like one of them, becomes a fundamental task for the safety and survival of the First Tribe's children.

Thus, with this ritual developed for that purpose, a Baali is able to go far beyond a simple illusion, or a lie. The Baali is able to absorb a vampire's essence, virtually becoming the clan to which the vampire belonged. No detection power, ability, Merit, or the like, of a level lower than 6, is capable of detecting the Baali blood in the vampire using the ritual, or determining its origin.

The ritual involves the sacrifice of a vampire of any clan (the clan that the Baali wishes to disguise himself as). The victim must be taken to the Baali's Well of Sacrifice, where he will have his heart ritualistically removed, and then his blood will be drained and placed in a container with unholy inscriptions, mixed with the Baali's blood. While performing a dark prayer, the Baali will first drink the blood from the heart (equivalent to 1 Blood Point) and then bathe with the blood from the container. Finally, while being blessed by the darkness, the Baali will cut off the vampire's head and rub it against his body.

The ritual also requires, in addition to spending at least 2 blood points (which will be in the container), and at least 1 Willpower Point. Each point of Willpower spent by Baali will increase the duration time by 1 month (or the time between 2 game sessions).

When the Baali has finished performing the ritual, he begins to undergo some transformations that help him to impersonate a member of the clan of the victim who was sacrificed. Between these transformations, the Baali gains the victim's clan weakness (the exception is the Malkavian weakness. If the Baali already has a derangement, he will not gain another one, but he cannot eliminate his derangement with XP points while impersonating a Malkavian).
