Level 1: Borrowed Countenance
By concentrating for a few moments you can change your physical appearance in certain cosmetic ways.  It is possible to alter your voice, your skin tone, your build, and even the contours of your body.
Changing yourself with Borrowed Countenance requires a static Mental Challenge at a difficulty of 7 Traits.  If you try to use the power to mimic the appearance of another person, then the difficulty is equal to the target's social traits.  The change lasts for a night.
 
Level 2: Diagnostic Touch
To use Diagnostic Touch you must be touching your subject.  By engaging in a static Mental Challenge (difficulty 8 Traits), you may ask one of the following questions of the target, that they must answer truthfully, “What kind of supernatural creature are you?”, “How much damage have you taken?”, “How much blood is in your system?”, “How much blood can your body hold?”, and “Are you infected with any diseases?”.  This power may also be used, with the assistance of a Narrator, to diagnose medical problems an individual may be suffering from.
 
Upon successfully using this power upon someone, you gain a 2-trait bonus on Medicine challenges related to them.
 
Level 3: Immaculate Vitae
Your blood heals others in the same way that it could heal you, and even in more potent ways.  You must touch your target in order to use this power.  Each Blood Trait you expend heals the target of one health level of lethal or bashing damage; aggravated damage requires two Blood Traits to heal completely.  You are not required to heal all damage that a target suffers in a single attempt.
 
Level 4: Asclepius’ Design
Skin rolls, bones bend; with little more than your mind you reshape someone into another being.  Lengthening, bending, compressing, pushing, pulling, you can use Asclepius’ Design to restructure yourself or another person.  You must maintain contact with the individual this is being used on, for the entire length of the procedure (determined by the ST).  Once you have begun making the changes, the ST will require that you make three simple tests (each may be retested with Medicine).  As long as you win or tie two of the three simple tests, the change is successful.  However should you only garner a single win or tie, the change is successful, but the subject gains a negative trait (selected by the ST).  Should you not win or tie any of the challenges, the change does not take place, and the unfortunate subject gains two negative traits (selected by the ST).  Changes made with this power are permanent, as they rewrite what the Cainite's body believes is its natural state.  These changes may only be removed through another use of Asclepius’ Design or through extensive usages of Vicissitude.
 
Level 5: Hand of Aletheia
While touching a person capable of shape shifting, you may force them into whatever form you desire.  Once you have touched them (which may require a physical challenge) expend a blood trait, and state which form you would like them to assume.  As long as you maintain contact (which may require further physical challenges) they will remain in that form.  If shifting to the form you wish them to would require an expenditure of blood, you must pay this requirement in their place.  If it would require a temper that you do not posses (such as Rage or Angst) you may substitute that expenditure with Willpower.  If you attempt to force someone into a form that they do not possess (such as grabbing a Toreador and trying to force him to shift into Horrid Form) the power simply fails, and the blood expended is wasted.
