...I am The Ancient, I am The Land.
Strahd von Zarovitch, To the contrary of the Thaumaturgical Path of Blood, the Way of Vitae concentrates istelf on the supernatural significance of blood, and of course, vampiric blood. Of course, manipulation of some psychological effects induced by Vampiric Vitae is included in the philosophy of the Way of Vitae... The attribute associated to this Path is Appearance. When using any power of this Way, the Koldun's eyes become blood red. * : Embrace
This spell was developped as a powerful Embrace.
Instead of draining the victim and giving it
some drops of Vitae, the Koldun can slowly
drain the subject, once per night, replacing
the lost blood with some quantity of her Vitae,
until the death of the victim. At this moment,
the victim must be buried in earth. Three nights
after, if the Spell was successful, the victim
rises as a vampire, more powerful than usual
Neonates, and sometimes, of the same Generation
than his sire (the victim is then called the Bride
or Groom of her/his Sire).
System: ?. ** : Summon the Blood Similar to Presence ****, this power enables the Koldun to summon any creature that has the Koldun's Vitae in its system including ghouls (even Revenants whose diet includes the Koldun's Vitae), Vampires, etc.. Note that the Childer of the Koldun, because of their Blood ties with the Koldun, can always be summoned by her.
System: ?. *** : Living Appearance
This power wasn't often used, as most Tzimisce, with
time, decided humanity was a inferior specy, not
worth mimicking. Still, this power was created, at
first, as a study of mortal's physiology, to ease
the path of the Metamorphosist.
System: ?. **** : Manipulate the Blood Oath This power affects the very basis of some Cainite cultures: the potence or effects of the Blood Bond. The Koldun can now decrease or increase for a limited amount of time the potence of the Blood Bond. Another variation of this power, more difficult to achieve, is the manipulation of the feelings induced by the Blood Bond. While those feelings retain their potency, their expression can be changed. For example, a typical Blood Bond induces feeling of love. Using this power, the Koldun could change this Love for Lust, or Hate, or Awe. But not indifference or apathy...
System: ?. ***** : Vinculum By casting this Spell on her Vitae, the Koldun can create a potent alchemical preparation that is enough to break the Blood Oath, and change it into a kind of multiple Blood Oath. Everyone drinking from this alchemical vitae will have (perhaps) any Blood Oath broken, to be replaced by a Blood Oath (to the Koldun) or a Vinculum (if multiple sources of Vite -- including the Koldun -- were used) to those whose Vitae was used in this Spell. Even if the Way of Vitae was unknown by all but a handful of Kolduns, its secrets somehow were rediscovered by Tzimisce Anarchs in the 13th or 14th century.
System: ?. This Way of Koldunic Sorcery was created by Raoul ''Violence'' Borges.
