The Toreador Clan is mystically fascinated by art, emerging in its many forms, delving into its nuances. Exploring this connection, the Toreador Clan has developed ways to make its art unique to those who experience it. Sharing the trance that it itself had to consume throughout the creation of a work.

System:
As a general effect, the Toreador spends a Willpower point as a general cost in the creation of the Work of Art (Crafts) or also in its execution (Performance). They must have Crafts or Performance 4 or higher. All non-Toreador who experience art generated in this way feel mystically bound by it. They experience an "enchantment" effect. The duration of this "enchantment" is at least 5 minutes or as long as the performance lasts (whichever is longer).

The "Non-Toreador" can only voluntarily come out of this state by spending a Willpower Trait, although injury or other distractions (such as an attack or an elbow from a neighbor) can break this spell.

If the "Non-Toreador" does not spend Willpower, and is interrupted or impeded, he will remain thinking about the art for the entire night. Gaining the Negative Trait: Oblivious.

Finally, while using Blessing of Venus, the Toreador can spend a Permanent Willpower Trait. If you do this, for all spectators, if the target chooses to interrupt the trance generated (Willpower expenditure), or is prevented for some reason from completing the observation, in addition to the normal effects added above, he gains the Obsession/Compulsion derangement in the Work for a period of one month equal to 12 minus his Willpower index (Minimum of one month), or until he has to experience it completely (At least 5 minutes of observation) again.

If he observes the work of Art in its entirety, he understands the channeling of all concepts. Art serves to inspire. With this, the "Non-Toreador" gains the benefit of a bonus Retest to be used on the next Virtue test until the end of the night. This benefit does not stack.

The Blessing of Venus is only useful for plays or presentations of Art. It does not serve for items created and presented at a glance in situations of premeditated danger or imminent tension (It does not have or should not have effectiveness in combat).

Once the work/performance with Blessing of Venus has already been observed by the "Non-Toreador", the same work will provide only the penalty and adopt the following Text:

The "Non-Toreador" can only come out of this state voluntarily, by spending a Mental Trait, although injury or other distractions (such as an attack or an elbow from a neighbor) can break this spell.
