MET Mechanics:

By drawing out their vampiric natures to superhuman levels of beauty and seduction, Kindred can adapt the innate power of Kindred Vitae empowering one's body through Potence and Presence, you may similarly call upon the ability to use your blood to temporarily boost your appearance. Kindred who have mastered this technique can direct their blood through their body to more than their muscles. Your skin turns pale and gaunt while your lips turn red and cheeks flush, and a glisten of red can be seen in your eyes. This power is a breach of the masquerade, and attempts to hide these obviously vampiric features negate its effect.

System: Once this combination discipline is learned this effect is always active. You may spend blood to increase your appearance traits. The limitations for spending blood for social traits are identical to spending blood for Physical traits as written in Laws of the Night (revised). The term conflict in a social situation does not apply to social prowess and as such lasts for one scene.
One Blood trait can be spent to gain an extra [Appearance: Alluring] trait for the duration of a [Scene]. You can bid this trait like any other, and you can count this trait in ties and overbids. You can spend like this as a reflexive action at any time, not counting as your action, though of course you still obey the limits of blood expenditure according to generation. You can raise your [ Appearance: Alluring] traits up to the limit of your generation for one [Scene]; any additional traits added with blood beyond that remain only for the duration of a single challenge.
By the nature of this power, you are pushing your appearance beyond mortal expectations and is a breech of the masquerade. Any attempts to conceal this power with Obfuscate, Mortal Skin, or similar powers negate its effect and you lose all traits gained from this technique.
