MET Mechanics:

This combination power requires those that possess and utilize it be in whole of the "Blood of the Abyss" (Lasombra, Lasombra Antitribu, Kiasyd, Maeghar, or any other clan or bloodline that has Obtenebration inherit to its blood. This does not include any Caitiff, Pander or Thin-blood that somehow begins with Obtenebration as a in-clan discipline.)

Those who could be called "Blood of the Abyss" see the bastardization of their birthright as a foul and disgusting practice that is seen as petty and commonplace in these nights. The vanity and power hungry nature of lesser Kindred has seen them overextend their gluttonous, dirty hands into the darkness and seize hold of such wonders as they can never come to actually understand, and the Darkness itself strives to be free of its unworthy enslaver. To come to the aid of the Abyss, one such Child of the Blood of the Abyss created this power to not only aid his liberation of his stolen birthright but also to show how the Abyss strives to be free of greedy usurpers.  When wielded against a usurper, the Abyss itself adds its anger of such subjugation to any damage created by uses of Obtenebration.

System:  The power is activated for a scene or an hour by concentrating on the vast wonders of the Abyss and calling on it to imbue them for glorious purpose (a moment of quiet contemplation and the expenditure of 1 temp mental and 1 temp Willpower).  Once activated, for the next scene or hour any Obtenebration caused damage to any individual that possesses Obtenebration out-of-clan"causes that person's Obtenebration rating (per level purchased 1-5}) to be added to said damage received.

Example: an Arm of the Abyss deals damage to a person who has 3 levels of Obtenebration out of clan, then +3 damage is added on to the damage of the attack. Base damage of attack + victims out-of-clan Obtenebration levels= total damage from attack.

Note: This power only works against subjects that possess Obtenebration purchased as an out-of-clan discipline.
