Description: Psychotropic substances have been used throughout the world in religious ceremonies, to go on spirit quests, and as corrective medicine for mental ailments. The Children of Haqim, especially the sorcerer caste, has used enchanted psychotropics, such as Kalif, for eons. Whereas Kalif is used to aid a sorcerer in learning new paths and rituals, Hyper-cognitive Analysis used to aid others in quickly and accurately process large amounts of information. This power is achieved by converting vitae into a powerful psychotropic, using Quietus and Celerity, which increases the speed of mental analytical processing, which is controlled via Auspex.
Mechanics: In addition to the discipline requirements, the practitioner must have knowledge of mediation and pharmacology (or related ability). These represent mental training and knowledge of psychotropic substances. To use Hyper-cognitive Analysis, the Kindred must spend a blood point and a temporary willpower. The practitioner then must win or tie on a static challenge. The number of traits is determined by the storyteller based on the quantity and complexity of information. The practitioner may retest with an appropriate ability, as determined by the ST, based on the type of information. For example, analyzing a stream of 1’s and 0’s may require a Computer retest, while attempting to solve a mental logic problem may require Enigmas. Additionally, for continuous processing of information or extremely large amounts, the ST may decide that extra time is required. A Willpower can be spent to extend the analysis. The ST determines the number of extra willpower required.
All processing is logical (unlike Eyes of Chaos), and if information is missing, a complete analysis may not be possible. However, the practitioner that wins their challenge to use this power is aware that information is missing.
