System:
The user spends a point of blood and a point of willpower to activate this power. By focusing his attention on those in his field of vision and maintaining concentration for a full turn, and spending one mental trait per intended target (per telepathy) the user can grant himself and those around him that he can see at the time of activation the benefits of Readiness (Focused Mind 1). If he chooses to spend additional mental traits in addition to the activation costs (from one to a maximum of three), he can add the benefits of Centering (Focused Mind 2) to the targets in the equivalent traits that he chose to spend during activation.
The maximum number of individuals the user can choose to grant all the benefits of this power can be equal to or less than the value he has in the occult ability (maximum 5) and even in a crowd, he can choose exactly who will receive these benefits.
