Centering (Auspex 5, Thaumaturgy 5 OR Orun virtue at 4+, [optional: Fortitude 5]) 8xp
Since time immemorial spiritual cultures, (and more recently, occult organizations) have practiced the art of centering: mystically preparing one's spirit and will for an ordeal.  Through the use of this ritual practice a kindred too can benefit from a closer connection to the font of their power: a fortified soul, and a surge of supernatural potency.
System: This power requires a night of meditation and the investment of a point of Willpower which must remain unspent while this power is active.  If you choose to use it, this power fails immediately as you lose your center.  Each night you must spend 10 minutes in meditation and win a static Mental challenge, retest Meditation against a difficulty of your Path Rating times your Generation background. (ex. Path 5, Generation 4 would be a difficulty of 20 traits). If you fail the initial attempt, you may continue meditating for another 10 minutes and try again. While this power is active, you may spend Willpower to be considered to have additional traits up to a cap of your Path rating when entering a power that compares or tests against Tempers, including ones you do not possess. This may not be used to activate items, such as a Garou Fetish or a Talen. So long as you possess Aegis, you get a free retest against mind/emotion affecting powers.
