Custom Blood Magic: Path

Earth Dowsing​(basic) – The Caster extends his consciousness to the ground surrounding him. He can get a geological survey of material that is hidden beneath his feet. Mechanics – The Caster can view the contents of the ground a radius of 5 feet per dot of occult they possess. Expend a blood trait, the depth is 1 feet per mental trait the caster possesses at time of casting. This will give the caster a general idea of the substances below the ground (i.e. minerals, metals, sediment composition, organic material). Further challenges for more information can be made through use of appropriate abilities (i.e. science (geology), science (metallurgy), ect.)

Extract​(Basic) – The Caster can now summon the ground to give forth her bounty. With the knowledge of what is underground, they can pull it to the surface. Mechanics – The Caster can cause the earth to roil and bring an object to the surface. They must expend a blood which will then bring forth any object to the surface. They can lift 20 pounds and may expend extra mental traits for an additional 10 pounds per mental trait. The process of it coming to the surface can take some time, depending on its depth and mass. Kindred using Earth Meld cannot be extracted.

Earth Tomb​(intermediate) – The Caster causes the earth to rise up and encapsulate a target. This can be used offensively to trap enemies, or defensively to protect the caster. Mechanics – Expend a blood and willpower. Tomb gains 2 health levels for each dot of occult the caster possess. If used against an opponent, the caster must make a mental challenge versus the opponent’s physical traits to encapsulate the opponent. The effects last until the caster dismiss the tomb or it is destroyed. Those trapped within or those wanting to get at those within can attempt to break through by making a physical challenge against the caster’s static mental traits. Mortals can asphyxiate over time, and fire damage is halved. Tomb occupies a radius of ten feet from the caster or victim, and rises in a dome maximum height of 7 feet at apex.

Vulcan’s Armor​(intermediate) – The Caster summons the earth around his body to give him more protection. Mechanics – Expend a blood and willpower to cause the earth to form a protective layer over your body. Treat as body armor with four additional health levels, adds a heavy negative physical trait. The Armor last for a scene or an hour, or until dismissed or destroyed. This power can only be used on the caster.

Vulcan’s Hammer ​(advanced) – By invoking Vulcan’s name in prayer; the Caster summons the master smith’s hammer. Vulcan’s Hammer is a Warhammer, obsidian black with veins of magma running through it. The Caster pulls it from the ground. This hammer can be used to create or destroy. Mechanics – Expend a blood and mental traits, and make a static mental challenge base difficulty 8 traits plus the number of mental traits spent, maximum of 5 mental traits can be spent (minimum of 1 must be spent). The number of mental traits spent determines its stats. 1­3 traits: one handed hammer with mental traits spent being the number of traits the weapon has and does 1 lethal and has Spark. 4­5 traits: two handed hammer with mental traits spent being the number of traits the weapon has and does 2 lethal and has Spark. Spark: Upon successful hit, make a simple challenge (win or lose). On a win a flash of fire is created dealing an additional 1 aggravated damage. This may cause a Rotschreck test. On a loss, the weapon just releases sparks from striking the victim. The Hammer can also be used in forging; the cast is two traits up in all smithing related challenges. The Hammer last for a scene or hour, or until dismissed. This power can only be used by the caster and the hammer once summoned cannot be alter in anyway.

Way of Bliss - Way of Vajrayogini, the Essence of all Buddhas

Mantra: oṃ vajra berotzaniye hūṃ hūṃ phat svāhā

The basic concept of the Way of Bliss (or as Buddhist Kolduns call it, the Way of Vajrayogini) is a lesser known Buddhist practice most commonly associated with Vajrayana Buddhism, altered for the particular physiology and nature of Cainites with origins in a predominantly Tzimisce sect of Buddhist vampires in Sri Lanka and India.  For practitioners of the Way of Bliss, to practice this way is to practice a so-called “Mother”-type Tantra, its focus being on the deity Vajrayogini, arguably the preeminent deity of Vajrayana Buddhism, the so-called “Essence of all Buddhas.”  In this way, the Wayof Bliss is a pathway to enlightenment for the koldun, based in experiencing the bliss it is named for byway of tantra.  To westerners, it might be considered a path to nirvana by way of “feeding one’s demons.”  For the koldun and other fellow practitioners, it is a method of indulgence that is so intense that it brings forth the darkness within them as a piece of power and focus for enlightenment.  Desire, thus, holds a wealth of treasures rather than hindrances, the focus given by flesh leading to a state ofhigher consciousness, the so-called “ultimate bliss” of Nirvana.

Note: Each level of this power requires the 1st basic level to be enacted before that certain level can be activated.  Also, any violent or offensive action (aside from the use of this power) taken towards the target causes any and all effects of this power to cease, unless stated otherwise in the power.  Defendants to this power may also expend a Willpower to shrug off the effects of a single level of this power for a single round.  However, that does not make the target immune to further uses of this power.

Activation for all levels (unless otherwise noted) is 1 Blood Trait.

0 - Spark of Life

    -> The basis of all desire is attraction and a practitioner of the Way of Bliss knows that fact to be the foundation of all that they do.  This power is the spark of attraction, the spark to life that the koldun “imparts” in their vampiric would-be consort, a consort that will walk with them on the path to Nirvana.  Once the spell is done, the koldun’s target might swear that they feel their heartbeat again, a heart that wants whomever gave them such a gift.

    -> System:  Spend 1 Blood and make a Social Challenge, retest Koldunism or Occult, against the target.  The gain the mechanical effects of the merit “True Love” (for the koldun).  If the target already has the True Love merit, it immediately switches to the koldun casting this power, rather than the original person of the target’s affections.  This power lasts a scene or an hour, whichever is shorter.

00 - Wheel of Desire

    -> Once the spark of attraction is made, a koldun with this gift may further fan the flames of her would-be lover’s desire with but a simple phrase.  Upon hearing the words of love from the koldun, the “victim” truly believes her words and becomes so enraptured that they can find no other solace than to have the koldun.

    -> System: Once the the first level “Spark of Life” has been successfully cast, spend 1 Blood and whisper an appropriate phrase or such to the target, making a Social Challenge, retest Koldunism or Occult.  If successful, the target becomes entranced and may make no other action but to romantically pursue the koldun.  This power ends when the target either feels that he/she has succeeded, when the koldun ends the power, the power ends due to an attack on the target, or at the end of a scene/hour (whichever is shortest).

000 - The Lovers’ Union

    -> “Consummating” a relationship does not always entail copulation, particularly for vampires whose flesh do not necessarily feel as they did when they were mortal.  However, a clever koldun and priest ofJarilo was known to hasten the flesh of all whom he touched.  This power reflects that late koldun’s gifts, with roots far older and more Eastern, enabling the koldun to inflame the spark she has given to the target of her desires, giving life to flesh that had long forgotten the sensualness of touch and rendering such poignant and powerful experiences that her lover can do nothing but give in to desires he perhaps did not know he had.

    -> System: Once the first level “Spark of Life” has been successfully cast, the koldun must spend 1 Blood and touch the target (possibly requiring a Physical Challenge), then engage in a Social Challenge, retest Koldunism or Occult.  If successful, the target is overwhelmed by physical sensations caused by the koldun’s touch, as if his flesh were that of a mortal’s again.  Any Social or Mental powers/actions that require concentration automatically fail so long as the Koldun remains in physical contact with the target.  Note: any action that would break the target’s focus (e.g., physical provocation, theft of vitae, most offensive actions, etc.) also causes this power to fail.

0000 - Exultant Bliss

    -> If a vampire were to point to the one act that most closely resembled their idea of bliss, there is nothing more intoxicating (nor pleasurable) than the Kiss.  This knowledge is important to a koldun sorceress who practices the Way of Bliss, for they understand that the Kiss is necessary to the practices of those vampires who try to walk the path of Vajrayogini.  The Kiss, then, is just as much a meditative focus as other sexual acts (such as copulation), if not more for its preternatural aspects.  In the Exultant Bliss, the koldun reinforces these facts and heightens the ecstatic realization of the Kiss for both herself and her lover, all as another step towards the blessed gift of Nirvana.

    -> System: Once the first level “Spark of Life” has been successfully cast, spend 1 Blood and make a Social Challenge against the target, retest Koldunism or Occult.  If successful, the koldun may engage in a Physical Challenge (if required) to enact the Kiss.  Mortals may not resist succumbing to the exquisite (even if subtly painful) ecstasy and vampires must make a Self-Control/Instinct Challenge, difficulty 4, or fall under the effects as well.  Neither mortals nor vampires may expend a Willpower to resist the effects of the Kiss so long as this power is successful.  (For more on the Kiss, see page 139of Vampire the Masquerade, Revised.)

00000 - Nirvana

    -> The penultimate power of the Way of Bliss, the koldun enacting Nirvana wishes to instill in her lover with the very state of ultimate bliss that is said to come from perfect tantric unity.  By invoking the name of Vajrayogini, a female Buddha and the preeminent Buddha in all tantric Buddhism, the koldun pushes her lover into a state supposedly close to Nirvana, creating for him a vision of perfect clarity and peace.  Like the diamond yogini, it is as if he is made of diamonds and can no longer be harmed.

    -> System: Before “Nirvana” can be used on a target, the target must first experience all four lower levels of Way of Bliss.  Once he/she has done so, the koldun speaks the mantra of Vajrayogini, spends 1 Blood and enters into a Social Challenge against the target, retest Koldunism or Occult.  If successful, the target enters into a trance-like state and becomes temporarily immune to frenzy and Rotschreck (even through supernatural means), and also automatically wins on ties when defending in Mental Challenges  This power lasts 15 minutes or a scene (whichever is shorter).

    -> NOTE: IF the koldun and her target engage in all levels of the Way of Bliss mutually and without force/coercion, whether covert or not, then the benefits (and detriments) of all five levels of Way of Blissconfer on BOTH the koldun casting the power and the one who is the target of the power.

Way of Divination

This Koldunic Way of magic is a refinement of Way of Spirit.  Using their mastery of the Way of Spirit, a Koldun can view the skies, stars, and open their inner sight into the mysteries of the universe.  Like all form of divinations, they are hardly ever exactly correct.  Rather they often give insight and helpful visions into the events of the future.  Storyteller’s are reminded to remember this fact, and should be vague and helpful.  Not just telling the caster exactly what is going on etc.  Additionally, it should be noted that Divination takes time.  Each level takes at least 5 minutes to properly use.  When the Koldun activates this power, his eyes turn pure white.  The Enigmas ability is often used as a retest for this path.  All levels of the Koldunic Way requires a Static Mental challenge at a difficulty of 10+the level of the path.

•Insight

The Koldun make seek the skies for insight.  Though what he gains if often vague and in the forms of flash images.

System:  After casting this spell, the Koldun may receive brief insight into a problem.  He may ask the storyteller one question in regards to what he is looking into and expect to receive a vague answer.  Additionally, the Koldun is immune to all Surprise effects for the next scene or hour.

••Foresee

Refining his ability to gain wisdom and visions from the heavens, the Koldun may now induce more visions, signs and insights than ever before.  Though they still often appear to him as symbolic messages, they are often more helpful than those gained by Insight.

System:  Once invoked, Forsee may be used in similar manner as Insight, however, the Storyteller is expected to be less vague in his answers and more symbolic.  Additionally, for the next scene or hour, the Koldun is up two traits on all Enigmas related challenges.  This aspect of the power does not stack.

•••Predict

The divination of the Koldun has reached such heights he is now accurately able to predict events.  What the weather will be like for the week.  If he or those he cares for are in immediate danger.  And other such examples of divination.

System:  The Koldun may now ask the storyteller questions and expect a straight forward yes or no answer.  Keep in mind, some questions are beyond the powers of divination, and as such the storyteller invokes the right to be able to not answer any question.  Additionally, the Koldun gains 1 retest he may use on any challenge for the remainder of the night.  The caster may only ever gain 1 retest from prediction per night.

••••Envision

Envision allows the Koldun an almost picture perfect vision of the future.  Though even still, the waves of fate are always changing, thus making the future often difficult to accurately predict.  Though a Koldun with this power can largely see the big events that will occur in the next month or so that likely will not change.

System:  The caster can ask a storyteller and expect a much clearer answer.  Additionally, the Koldun gains 1 retest he may use on any challenge for the remainder of the night.  The caster may only ever gain 1 retest from Envision per night.

•••••Omen

Few things will escape a kolduns insight with this level of mastery.  Insight and visions of to you a year in advance occur now, all with startling accuracy.  The Koldun is capable of picking winning lottery numbers and even gaining some insight into the Jyhad itself.

System:  At this level of mastery the Koldun effectively gains the ability to accurately predict the future.  The storyteller decides exactly what the Koldun receives for information when they successfully use this power.  Finally, the Koldun gains 1 retest he may use on any challenge for the remainder of the night.  The catser may only ever gain 1 retest from Omen per night.

Way of Harmony

Aka “Friendship is magic”

“Make friends.” - Councilor Meerlinda

This path has been created by Councilor Meerlinda in response to the growing ire toward Clan Tremere, and will be offered to any Pyramid loyal Tremere who wishes to learn it.  However, it had been craftily designed by Meerlinda to ensure that it may not be replicated outside of House and Clan Tremere’s paradigm of Thaumaturgy.

Level 1: Kindness (3 exp)

“A kind act can be as powerful as a sword.” - Rick Riordan

The caster understands the need to bolster the morale of fellow kindred. Through speaking magically invoked words of affirmation to their fellow Kindred the caster restores a single temporary willpower to their target. In doing so, the caster gains Friendly x2 for the remainder of the scene (or hour, whichever is shorter) while the power is active.

Level 2: Honesty (3 exp)

“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary Act.” - George Orwell

While the power is enacted, you can not speak any lies or falsehoods. In exchange the caster has a free retest against any social or mental powers/abilities that would cause the thaumaturge to lie, deceive, or be deceived. This power is immediately terminated if the caster lies or attempts to deceive through words or use of powers (ie. Obfuscate, Chimerstry, etc.).

Level 3: Empathy (6 exp)

“One of the most important things you can do is let people know they are not alone.” - Shannon Alder

With the activation of a Blood and touching the target gently or exchanging of a comforting object (Sweater, toy, hoodie, jacket, ect), the caster shares in the emotional turmoil of the target (Note: Consent is required to actually touch another person). From this positive connection they are able to weather the storm of emotions together. The caster and the target are given a free retest each on all virtue tests (conscience or self control), path checks (so long as the path involves emotion) and frenzy (courage or self control).  If the physical connection is broken, or the comforting object is taken from the target, the power fades. The effects last for 5 minutes per level of Way of Harmony the Caster has after removal of the item or touch. Otherwise the power lasts a scene or hour, whichever is shorter.

Level 4: Generosity (6 exp)

“It is when you give of yourself, that you truly give.” - Kahlil Gibran

The caster must spend a Blood and a Willpower to enact the power of Generosity, and after a full round of casting they may then cast a ritual onto another.  The caster may only cast rituals they would normally only be able to cast on themselves, and only rituals they themselves know. This does not allow another thaumaturge to cast rituals upon another in lieu of the caster of the power of Generosity. The caster may only cast as many rituals on others as they have Permanent Willpower. This power lasts for a scene or an hour.

Level 5: Loyalty (9 exp)

“If by life or death I can protect you, I will.” - J.R.R.Tolkien

The elders of House and Clan Tremere have understood that they are only as strong as their weakest magi, and have determined a method to take damage upon themselves instead. The thaumaturge casting this knows full well the risk in doing so, and chooses to take that upon themselves as an act of true loyalty. The thaumaturge must draw an arcane sigil, or place a pre-crafted sigil, upon the individual they wish to protect prior to the activation of Loyalty. After the sigil is drawn upon (or placed upon) the ally they wish to protect, a matching sigil must be drawn or placed upon the casting magus. After donning the matching sigil on themselves, the caster must spend a temporary Willpower and a trait of Blood.

During the time this power is activated, the thaumaturge takes any damage dealt to the marked individual up to twice their permanent Occult Level (With a maximum of 10 levels absorbed), per casting.The type of damage dealt is identical to that which is dealt to the marked individual. Ie: if the damage dealt was lethal, the damage taken by the caster is also lethal.  The caster may then test the damage down if they have fortitude. The caster may recast this multiple times in a night as their willpower and blood allow. This power has a radius of 5 miles. If overused it is possible for the caster to fall into torpor or be killed in service to their ally.

=============================================================

Portuguese Translation:

Caminho da Harmonia

Aka “Amizade é magia”

“Faça amigos.” - Conselheira Meerlinda

Esta Trilha foi criada pela Conselheira Meerlinda em resposta à crescente ira contra o Clã Tremere, e será oferecida a qualquer Tremere leal à Pirâmide que deseje aprender. No entanto, a trilha foi habilmente projetada por Meerlinda para garantir que ela não pudesse ser replicada fora de Casa e Clan e do paradigma de Taumaturgia do Clã Tremere.

Nível 1 Bondade (3xp)

"Um ato gentil pode ser tão poderoso quanto uma espada." - Rick Riordan

O taumaturgo entende a necessidade de elevar o moral de seus colegas. Ao falar palavras de afirmação magicamente invocadas para seus colegas Kindreds, o taumaturgo restaura um único ponto de força de vontade temporária para seu alvo. Ao fazer isso, o taumaturgo ganha Amigável x2 pelo resto da cena (ou hora, o que for mais curto) enquanto o poder estiver ativo.

Nível 2 Honestidade (3xp)

“Em tempos de engano, dizer a verdade é um ato revolucionário.” - George Orwell

Enquanto o poder estiver ativo, você não pode falar mentiras ou falsidades. Em troca, o taumaturgo tem um reteste livre contra quaisquer poderes / habilidades sociais ou mentais que façam o taumaturgo mentir, enganar ou ser enganado. Este poder é encerrado imediatamente se o

taumaturgo mentir ou tentar enganar por meio de palavras ou uso de poderes (ou seja, Ofuscação, Quimerismo, etc.).

Nível 3 Empatia (6xp)

“Uma das coisas mais importantes que você pode fazer é permitir que as pessoas saibam que não estão sozinhas.” - Shannon Alder

Com o gasto de um ponto de sangue e tocando o alvo suavemente ou trocando um objeto reconfortante (suéter, brinquedo, moletom, jaqueta, ect), o taumaturgo compartilha da turbulência emocional do alvo (Nota: É necessário consentimento para realmente tocar outra pessoa ) A partir dessa conexão positiva, eles são capazes de enfrentar a tempestade de emoções juntos. O taumaturgo e o alvo recebem um reteste livre em todos os testes de virtude (consciência ou autocontrole), testes de trilha (desde que a trilha envolva emoções) e frenesi (coragem ou autocontrole). Se a conexão física for interrompida ou o objeto reconfortante for retirado do alvo, o poder se esvai. Os efeitos duram 5 minutos por nível do Caminho da Harmonia que o taumaturgo possui após a remoção do item ou toque. Caso contrário, o poder dura uma cena ou hora, o que for mais curto.

Nível 4 Generosidade (6xp)

“É quando você dá de si mesmo que você realmente dá.” - Kahlil Gibran

O taumaturgo deve gastar um ponto de sangue e um ponto de Força de Vontade para ativar o poder da Generosidade e, após uma rodada completa de conjuração, ele pode executar um ritual em outra pessoa. O taumaturgo pode executar apenas rituais que normalmente só seria capaz de lançar sobre si mesmo, e apenas rituais que ele mesmo conhece. Isso não permite que outro taumaturgo lance rituais sobre alguém no lugar daquele que ativou o poder da generosidade. O taumaturgo pode lançar tantos rituais sobre os outros quanto ele tiver de pontos de força de vontade permanente. Esse poder dura uma cena ou uma hora.

Nível 5 Fidelidade (9xp)

"Se eu puder proteger você pela vida ou pela morte, eu o farei."  - J.R.R.Tolkien

Os anciãos da Casa e Clã Tremere entenderam que eles são tão fortes quanto seus magos mais fracos, e determinaram um método para eles mesmos sofrerem o dano. O taumaturgo que usa este poder sabe muito bem o risco de fazê-lo e escolhe assumir isso como um ato de verdadeira lealdade. O taumaturgo deve desenhar um sigilo arcano, ou colocar um sigilo pré-fabricado, no indivíduo que deseja proteger antes da ativação de Lealdade. Depois que o sigilo é desenhado (ou colocado) no aliado que ele deseja proteger, um sigilo correspondente deve ser desenhado ou colocado no taumaturgo que está executando o poder. Depois de colocar ou desenhar o sigilo correspondente em si mesmo, o taumaturgo deve gastar um ponto de Força de Vontade temporária e um ponto de Sangue.

Durante o tempo em que este poder estiver ativo, o taumaturgo sofre qualquer dano causado ao indivíduo marcado até o dobro de seu nível de ocultismo permanente (com um máximo de 10 níveis absorvidos), por lançamento. O tipo de dano causado é idêntico ao que é causado para o indivíduo marcado. Ou seja: se o dano causado foi letal, o dano recebido pelo lançador também é letal. O taumaturgo pode então reduzir o dano se tiver Fortitude. O taumaturgo pode repetir o uso deste poder várias vezes em uma noite, conforme sua força de vontade e sangue permitirem. Este poder tem um raio de 8 km. Se usado em demasia, é possível que o taumaturgo caia em torpor ou seja morto em serviço a seu aliado.

Way of Sacrilege
The creation of the Way of Sacrilege was a joint effort by one Tzimisce Koldun who desired to
prove his blasphemous to Kupala and one Telyavelic Tremere with the intent of seeking revenge
against the religions that made him and his peers pariahs in the eyes of the world. The result was
a Way dedicated to the corruption and desecration of those of Faith. Whether it be those rare few
who possess True Faith or the more common sight of Wangateurs, Sadhu, and Ashipu, all
Cainites of faith suffer under this Way because of that commitment.
The Way of Sacrilege fails to affect anyone who shares the koldun’s faith.
•Ward of the Damned
A novice of the Way of Sacrilege takes their first steps upon it by guarding themselves against
the influence of their most staunch enemies, the faithful. As the koldun’s mastery of this Way
increases, so too does their ability to fend off the insipid assaults of the self-righteous.
System: The koldun spends a Blood and Willpower Traits and takes an action to concentrate on
their target, afterwards, One Half of the Koldun's rating in the Way of Sacrilege (rounded up) is
deducted from the effective True Faith rating of their target using True Faith against the koldun.
••Crisis of Faith
The corrupting influence of Koldunic Sorcery is a force that the koldun has begun to learn to
wield with startling efficiency. With a mere glance, they are capable of instilling such
uncertainty and doubt within their victim’s mind regarding their faith that the miracles that once
came naturally to them begin to falter and fail.
System: The player spends a Blood Trait and makes a contested Social Challenge retested with
Occult. If successful, when employing any powers or effects related to faith of any kind the
victim loses two Traits on the resolution of all challenges, and suffers a single forced retest on
each successful challenge. This power only effects True Faith and not faith based blood magics.
•••Desecration of Sanctity
The koldun is capable of corrupting the very nature of spiritually significant places and artifacts,
often referred to as Holy Ground and Holy Relics. By their mere presence, they can exhaust this
spiritual energy and consume it to replenish themselves. Places and relics depleted fully this way
become corrupted, and faithful are advised against making use of them until their energies can be
replenished.
System: The koldun can drain the faith of any holy ground or holy relics in their immediate
vicinity. They must be within 3 feet per their rating in the Way of Sacrilege, and they must
expend a Blood Trait and make an extended Static Social Challenge (difficulty 8). Each success
converts reduces the Faith rating of the place of object by 1, and the koldun gains their choice of
a Trait of Blood or Willpower. Places and objects that are fully consumed in this way become
somehow cursed. The details and nature of this curse should be left up to the discretion of the
Storyteller, as the koldun has no ability to define the malediction. Use of this power requires an
action.

The Storyteller is the final arbiter of how much Faith potential a place or object possesses,
though they should bear in mind that most religious objects used for more than a few years
accumulate at least a minor Faith rating. This power may not be used to increase the character
temporary willpower maximum more than 3 traits above their generational maximum.
••••Commit to Purgatory
Everyone has dark thoughts, the ideas that creep in the back of their subconscious mind and only
infrequently stretch into awareness. Those who have experienced the Call of the Void understand
this more easily than others, and the knowledge that these thoughts exist in their minds,
independent of their desire to have them, is unsettling at best and disturbing at worst. Kolduns
who have reached this level of advancement can reach into the minds of their victims and bring
those thoughts crashing into full wakefulness, and the results are often a spectacle to behold.
System: The character spends a Blood Trait and a Willpower Trait and engages their target in a
contested Social Challenge. If successful, the koldun forces their target to act on their darkest
and most self destructive impulses. For the remainder of the evening, the victim must act in
accordance with their most sacrilegious and blasphemous hidden thoughts and desires.
Additionally, once each scene until the end of the night the Koldun’s victim must succeed at a
Static Willpower Challenge (difficulty 9) or else commit suicide by the most readily available
means. Cainites who fail this Willpower Challenge instead place themselves immediately into
torpor regardless of their current location or situation. The target may spend 1 willpower per
scene to stave off this powers effects. Vampire victims may spend 2 permanent points of
willpower to negate the suicide aspects of this power.
•••••Fallen Angel
A koldun who has mastered the Way of Sacrilege becomes capable of an act so profane that it
has, until now, been referred to solely in ancient religious texts. With a stretch of their upraised
hand and the motion of a downward throw, the koldun causes an Angel to fall from grace,
corrupting it and forcing it to serve the koldun for a short time.
System: The koldun reaches out to the sky, spends a Blood Trait and a Willpower Trait, makes
two simple challenges, and makes a motion as if throwing something from the sky to the ground.
What appears there, manifested from the peaks of the High Umbral realm, is a corrupted Angel.
Appearances differ from entity to entity, but black veins coursing just beneath ivory skin, horns
that stretch up to support now-burning halos, and wings that transition from feathery to leathery
are common sights when this power is enacted. The fallen Angel is bound to serve the koldun’s
mental commands for the duration of the scene, after which it is released and proceeds to wander
the Umbra as a corrupted spirit without inherent malicious regard for the koldun. Storyteller’s
should use their best judgment when deciding what capabilities such beings possess, though they
may take suggestions from the statistics printed in Beyond the Barriers: the Book of Worlds
p168. If the Both Simple Challenges to activate this power fail, the koldun has drawn the
attention of an Angelic entity too powerful to cast down, and one who is exceedingly angry with
them for trying. A powerful Angelic entity appears and is hostile towards the koldun. The
