Dagda’s Breath
Disciplines: Quietus 3 & Auspex 5
Level: Five
XP Cost: 12
Type: Combination Discipline
Description
The vampire may breathe sacred vitality into the land itself. Dagda’s Breath consecrates an area so that it flourishes beyond mortal capacity—life and decay suspended, even reversed, to grow in perfect harmony.
The blessing sustains a garden indefinitely, fed by the creator’s vitae and will.
Activation
The vampire must meditate in total silence for one full minute, bleeding into the soil.
Cost: 2 Blood Traits and 1 Willpower Trait
Test: Mental Challenge (retest Occult)
Time: One minute of uninterrupted focus
Effect Duration: One lunar month (renewable)
Area of Effect: Up to 10 steps in radius per dot of the user’s Occult (centered on the activation point)
System
Upon activation, the area becomes a Living Grove, saturated with vitae resonance and spiritual fertility.
Effects include:
Supernatural Growth:
Vegetation within the grove matures rapidly, bearing fruit or blooming within hours. The flora no longer require sunlight or irrigation for the duration.
Sustained Vitality:
Each lunar month, the user may feed the grove by expending 1 Blood Trait to renew the effect. If left untended, the land withers over the next three nights and becomes infertile for one month.
Suspension of Decay:
Rot, mold, and natural decomposition cease within the grove. Organic material remains fresh until the blessing fades.
Maintenance & Duration
The grove persists for one lunar month per activation.
Each renewal (1 Blood Trait) extends its life another month, indefinitely.
If the vampire ceases feeding it, the grove collapses and the soil lies dormant for one month before regaining natural fertility.
Drawbacks & Risks
Resonant Bond:
The grove is mystically tied to its creator. If destroyed or desecrated, the vampire immediately loses one Health Level (unsoakable) and cannot reactivate this power for one lunar month. Only one such location may exist at a time.
Reduced Blood:
The activation of this Technique reduces the user’s Blood Pool by 2 for a Lunar Cycle.
To Auspex users, the area radiates interwoven threads of green, gold, and crimson, humming faintly like harp strings beneath the soil.
