Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Flavor: The Crafter has learned how to take their very blood and imbue it into their crafting process. To a lesser extent they understand how the grooves and steel function, and how to best utilize their quietus blood with their weapon. By doing such they can increase the length in time a blood enhanced weapon can hold its edge, or even create an enhanced blade from the very beginning.

Mechanics: This power has two functions.
The first can be utilized by anyone who has learned this power. By expending a Temporary Willpower, and the standard costs for Scorpions Touch or Baals Caress, the user may enhance any bladed weapon they possess. Any such applied blood trait follows all the standard rules for Quietus, and lasts for a scene or hour, whichever comes first. (IE: No need to reapply or apply multiple traits.) Each use of this power requires the Willpower trait to be spent, as such to enhance two weapons at the same time, two willpower would be needed.

The second requires the user to be a skilled crafter. No weapon of less than Crafts x5 can receive the benefit of this secondary power, the user must be the weapons crafter, and the power must be applied during its creation. By expending 1 Permanent Willpower during the creation of an bladed weapon, the user may impart Scorpions Touch or Baals Caress on the weapon. This affect is forged into the blade with a portion of the users willpower, and remains affixed. The weapon continues to function as per normal, however anyone's whose blood was used during the weapons creation is considered 'attuned' to the weapon. At any time someone so attuned may expend one blood and one willpower to enact the poison the blade was created with for one scene or hour. This allows a user without the possession of this combo power, or even quietus, to activate Baals Caress or Scorpions touch for the full duration, based on which discipline was used when the blade was created.

The Assamite power of Taste of Death can be a potent assassins tool of surprise.  However, it can often be the last blow used or one that takes some time.  By combining the arts of Celerity with Quietus; the Assamites Taste of Death becomes more potent and deadly when used.  As the Assamite literally spews much of their blood in a shower over their victims in a rain of acidy death.

System:  Once purchased this combination discipline is always considered active.  When an Assamite uses Taste of Death; this power now inflicts two aggravated damage per blood trait instead of one.  Additionally, the character may now spend up to their generational maximum of blood when using a Taste of Death in an attack.

Only Assamite Antitribu Characters May learn this Combination Discipline

This combination technique allows the thaumaturge to use Animalism: Subsume the Spirit or Dominate: Possession on any Biothaumaturgical construct they have either created personally, or sufficiently studied with Thaumaturgical Forensics. Mostly animal constructs require Animalism, while mostly human constructs require Dominate. Truly bizarre combination creatures require both.
System: The Thaumaturge must spend at least an hour studying a construct they have not personally constructed. After studying a construct, the Thaumaturge may then possess a construct with Animalism: Subsume the Spirit or Dominate: Possession, along with appropriate trait expenditures to maintain Discipline use.
Any modifications other than Biothaumaturgy or similar Hermetic magic make a construct uninhabitable, causing this power to fail.
