Paths of Blood Sorcery
The following rituals and powers are a conversion of some of the old
Thaumaturgic Paths to V5.

• Those listed under Ritualized Paths function the same way as

corebook Blood Sorcery Rituals unless stated and can be
purchased as usual.

• Those listed under Overhauled Paths count as Discipline Powers.

For the purpose of balancing, the ST can decide to count them as:
o Additional powers of Blood Sorcery, substituting in the dice
pools or ratings the name of the Path for Blood Sorcery.
o Considering Blood Sorcery powers from the core as the
“Path of Blood” and decide which Path is in-clan while the
others remain out-clan each like a standalone Discipline.
o In-clan Disciplines for those clans with Blood Sorcery (not
recommended).
o Behind a 4-dot merit that adds it as in-clan Discipline.

Ritualized Paths
Biothaumaturgy
This bizarre path reputedly has its roots in the
secret tomes of the inscrutable Black Hand.
Over the past few years, its esoteric secrets
have spread among certain cabals of Tremere,
who regard it as a curious mixture of Hermetic
science and genetics. Biothaumaturgy
concerns itself with the manipulation of life
energies. In the laboratories of inspired
Biothaumaturgy may be found strange
creatures almost out of myth, veritable
Frankenstein's monsters and less wholesome
creations. Although it is not considered a
"taboo" path, Biothaumaturgy is nonetheless
strange and unsettling to those who observe its
results.
Biothaumaturgy also requires the thaumaturge
to have a laboratory where she may conduct
her experiments. This need be nothing more
complex than a doctor's table and a few sharp
knives, but it may be as complex as the "mad
scientist" affairs of pulp fiction, with steaming
alembics and crackling generators. The
Storyteller should feel free to modify a
character's Biothaumaturgy Difficulties if she
has excellent laboratory resources or her
facilities are utterly lacking. Working with a
crude lab may add two to the difficulty while a
high-grade facility may lower the difficulties by
two.
Because the way this specific concept work,
the Storyteller might decide that you need the
ritual from the previous level to purchase the
next.
*Level 2
Thaumaturgical Forensics
The thaumaturge may take a tissue sample
from a living, dead, or undead creature and
ascertain its distinguishing characteristics. A
wealth of information may be gleamed from this
sample, including information that "normal"
forensics and genetics would not yield, such as
age, clan, etc.
■ Ingredients: A sample from an organic
tissue (or ash), a monocle, several microscope
slides and a scalpel.
■ Process: To produce the means to analyse
the sample, the biotharumaturge first needs to
incantate the monocle for about an hour. The
scalpel is “inked” with the blood of the vampire
and used to scribble runes and symbols on the
metal part of the monocle while chanting. Once
completed, the monocle acquires a red tint on
the glass and the metal blackens, while the
runes start glowing a visible red. The artifact
maintains its properties until destroyed and
thus this part of the ritual does not need to be
performed every time. To prepare the samples,
the biothaumaturge slashes the tissue into a
thin laminar shape and mounts the microscope
slides around them as she would do with any
other sample. Using the blood from a self-
inflicted wound as a staining method on the
slides, she then proceeds to examine them.
■ System: Each success on the activation roll
yields one piece of simple information about
the subject, which may be any living, unliving
or dead entity (but not an inanimate object),
including plants. This information is limited to
physical characteristics of the subject -
Thaumaturgical Forensics can be used to
determine gender, clan, traces of diablerie and
the like, but it will not reveal if a given subject
killed an individual or where she kept her trove
of personal belongings. A critical roll may yield
the knowledge of a weakness to exploit at ST
discretion while a complete failure yields the
destruction of the sample. If the microscopes
slides are prepared correctly, they can be used
again for further examination up to half the
Science rating of the user rounded up without
the need of additional Rouse Checks.
Thaumaturgical Surgery
The thaumaturge uses his knowledge of magic
and physiology to aid a body in its regenerative
capacity. Even the most grievous wounds may
heal more quickly if aided by this sorcerer’s art.
■ Ingredients: Any level surface (preferably
elevated like a table), bandages, surgery
thread and needle.
■ Process: The biothaumaturge soaks the
bandages, thread and needle in two Rouse
Checks worth of her own blood and chants
over them. When the blood is fully absorbed,
and the Ritual rolls have been successful, the
needle blackens and the thread starts glowing
a supernatural red. She then proceeds to
5
operate the patient without stopping the chant.
Once finished, the thread will still glow faintly
while the bandages will become nearly
transparent on the body of the patient until fully
healed which then withers away.
■ System: Each success allows the
thaumaturge to "convert" one health level of
damage from a mortal to a lesser type.
Aggravated damage becomes Superficial, and
Superficial becomes easily slept -off fatigue
(and vanishes completely). Kindred find that
they recover from Aggravated Damage twice
as fast for free, healing a maximum of 2 points
per day, limited to the successes of the roll.
The blood used in this ritual retains its blood
bonding properties.
*Level 4
Animation
The thaumaturge cracks open the skull (or
equivalent) of a live organism and brainwashes
it with surgery tools and magical energy. This
imparts to it a rudimentary set of instructions.
The resultant creation carries out their orders
to the letter. Biothaumaturgy use this power to
populate their havens with guard dogs and
other, quirkier "pets". Even human and large
animals may be brainwashed with this ritual. It
is rumoured that one biothaumaturge in Egypt
has a pair of animated elephants which he
uses to terrorize his enemies.
Frankensteinian in nature, meaning obtainable
via crude surgery rather than mystical
fleshweaving. Extra limbs or major changes to
the initial for of the creature are outside of the
real of this ritual. Prosthetics and similar
implants might be possible at Storyteller’s
discretion.
Creatures animated in this manner keep their
original Physical attributes. Social and Mental
Attributes are at zero. Each creation has a
number of Health levels equal to those it had
plus half the Medicine rating of the user
(rounded up). They also gain a dot from a
Physical Discipline and a single level 1 power
known by the biothaumaturge as per standard
ghouling rules but do not need a Rouse Check
each month to maintain it.
Animations suffer damage like mortals and
cannot be mentally dominated or influenced.
They are effectively “meat” machines. A human
animated in this manner retains none of their
original "self." The biothaumaturge can
maintain a number of Animations equal to their
rating in Blood Sorcery, however if they wish to
keep them beyond the end of the story they
must invest Experience Points like any other
Background, else they die of malnourishment.

■ Ingredients: Any level surface (preferably

elevated like a table), scalpel, a live organism,
narcotics or other restraining methods, surgery
thread and needle.
■ Process: After using the same principle for
preparing the tools as the ritual Thaumaturgical
Surgery, the biothaumaturge cuts open the live
organism and starts to meddle with the brain
(or equivalent). The surgery takes three nights,
needing to dedicate two hours of chanting per
night and a total of two Rouse Checks, one at
the first night and one on the last.
■ System: If the ritual is successful, the
animated creation may be given a one-
sentence command, which it will fulfil until
destroyed. Certain life forms are probably
beyond the capacity of this ritual, but the only
limit is what the Storyteller decides. This ritual
also allows minor changes to be made to the
subjects. For example, an animated human
may wield a metal-hook instead of a hand.
These physical changes should always be

6
*Level 5
Cognizant Construction
The pinnacle of Biothaumaturgy, this power
bestows a creature brainwashed with the
Animation ritual with a semblance of the
intelligence it had in life. Animated animals
possess a malicious cunning while higher life
forms gain the ability to reason deductively
rather than satisfy one command.
■ Ingredients: An organism animated by the
ritual Animation and the ingredients needed to
cast it minus the body.
■ Process: Using the same principle for
preparing the tools as the ritual Thaumaturgy
Surgery, the biothaumaturge cuts open the
head of the animated creature without stopping
the chanting. She then proceeds to heal part by
part the brain of the creature, slashing and
tearing apart what she cannot mend. This
involves an elaborate precision and knowledge
of the brain of said creature and might need
several nights of hard work. The crucial part
(make the Ritual roll then) is the final connexion
of all the parts of the brain. In total, this ritual
takes two Rouse Checks worth of Blood from
the caster, but the time that is needed for the
completion of it is decided by the Storyteller.
■ System: Although this ritual gives an
animation the base intelligence of said
creature, the animation nonetheless still serves
the orders it is given by its creator and remains
immune. A creature animated via Cognizant
Creation has Mental and Social Attributes of
one less then it possessed (but never below 1).
This won't be creating any geniuses, but the
story effect is that it creates an animated
monster capable of reasoning. A Cognizant
Constructions won't mindlessly fight to its
death if it sees a better or clever way of routing
foes, and it will be capable of other deductive
tasks as well. They also gain a dot from a
Mental or Sorcery Discipline and a single level
1 power known by the biothaumaturge on top
of the one from the previous ritual.
Curses
Early in the history of Blood Sorcery, the Path
of Curses was developed and refined. It is still
known by its early names in certain circles:
Maleficium, Hexen-Kraft, the Evil Eye. Victims
of this path, often called accursed, are subject
to extreme treatment and psychological
feelings of inadequacy, often to the point of
becoming social outcasts. When accursed are
afflicted, friends and society tend to distance
themselves from the victim, creating a social
schism and driving the accursed toward
alienation.
All curses use the following Ingredients,
Process and overall System.
■ Ingredients: Hair, blood, flesh, ash or any
other part of the victim (which depending of the
age of the vampire decay pretty quickly), as
well as clay or other malleable material.
■ Process: The thaumaturge creates an effigy
using the clay and the parts from the victim.
When directly seeing the target she then
proceeds to curse it in whispers. The curse
must be chanted for a minute per level and
often consists of dead languages. They use the
Difficulty system of corebook Rituals. Any
interruption during the process automatically
counts as a fail.
■ System: Even if the ritual is successful, the
target may cancel its effect. Once she knows
which specific curse has been inflicted upon
her, usually requiring an Intelligence + Occult
(or Fortitude) roll against a Difficulty equal to
the level of the Ritual + 1, or contacting a
specialist on the matter, she then can spend a
Willpower point per level of the Curse to negate
the effect. This is the victim asserting his own
strength of will and personality to throw off the
yoke of anathema. The thaumaturge can lift the
curses that she brings down at any time she
wishes, which makes an excellent bargaining
chip.
*Level 1
Stigma
The most basic of curses, the victim is stricken
with an invisible stigma that manifests only in
the eyes of those around them. Few can
describe its actual form. People shy away from
interacting with the marked victim, and will
have a hard time taking him seriously. Social
interaction becomes difficult, and frustration
quickly follows for the accursed.
■ System: The stigma lasts until the next
sunset or for a week with a Critical Win. The
victim is doomed to frustration when
performing any Social actions. All of the
victim's Manipulation and Charisma rolls are at
+1 Difficulty or add 1 dice to the opposing roll
during this curse.
7
Malady
The thaumaturge causes the victim to suffer
intense illness and discomfort, not unlike the
plagues and pestilences of history. During the
Dark Ages, this power was used to strike down
rivals and force them into subservience to the
thaumaturge. Cainites likewise feel the pain
and suffering from the sickness instilled by this
curse. For elder Kindred, this is one of the
worst curses - to be stricken down with illness
as if a common mortal! For roleplaying
purposes, the intensity of this sickness
worsens the better this ritual is casted, varying
from a headache to a strong flu.
■ System: If this power is successfully
invoked, the accursed suffers the effects of
severe illness for a week, a month in a Critical
Win. It reduces the victim’s Physical dice pools
by one.

*Level 3
Pariah
This curse touches upon one of the most
feared elements of society, that of becoming an
outcast. This power goes beyond cursing the
victim with simple social ostracism - while
under the effects of Pariah, the accursed
appears to be the most hated of enemies to
everyone they encounter. This alteration of
perception is only in body and form, the victim
still acts and speaks as normal. But then again,
few are willing to listen to the ranting and
ravings of a despised foe.
■ Ingredients: Blood from a Obfuscate user on
top of the regular ingredients.
■ System: Upon a successful Ritual roll the
subject suffers the curse for a period of one
week, a month on a Critical Win. Similar to the
power Mask of a Thousand Faces, this power
influences the perceptions of those around the
accursed, leading observers to believe that the
subject is a dire rival. This will not necessarily
result in attack indeed, in most cases, it
shouldn't - but will cause antagonism in
whatever way is most appropriate to the
onlooker. Most people will just leave the
accursed's presence with a look of disdain, but
some may snub her, insult her or even throw
the first punch. Sense the Unseen can see
through this involuntary disguise for the
duration. This ritual does not work on people
that already know the accursed.

8
*Level 4
Corrupt Body
This powerful curse is invoked by the
thaumaturge, who approaches the victim and
denounces his physical form. Over the course
of seconds, the victim's body distorts and
perverts into a parody of itself. During this
transformation, the victim suffers extreme pain
that wracks his body. This defilement leaves
behind a victim scarred both physically and
mentally. Recently, Camarilla princes have had
this power used upon violators of the Traditions
to enforce their will; a graceful Kindred dancer
reduced to an uncoordinated oaf is not likely to
forget his mistakes.
■ System: During the three turns that the
physical change occurs, the target suffers a
three-dice penalty to dice pools. For the
duration of the Corrupt Body, the accursed
suffers a one-die penalty to all dice pools, as if
she were wounded. This is cumulative with
other wounds.
Additionally, the thaumaturge chooses
Strength, Dexterity to warp. This drops the
appropriate Attribute to 1 for the duration. The
Storyteller should add any additional effects to
aid in how nasty this power is. Only one
Corrupt Body can affect a victim at any one
time. The power stays in effect for a week, a
month for a Critical Win.

*Level 5
Fall from Grace
The magus is now able to curse his victim with
supreme ineptitude, causing a loss in
confidence and failings in any and all tasks.
Striking a combination of mystical dread and
self-loathing in the victim, failure becomes
almost a certainty. Fate and circumstance now
conspire to prevent prosperity. Victims of this
power often retire from the normal activities of
their lives as nothing goes right; relationships
fall apart, jobs crumble around them, and
accidents seem to become commonplace.
■ System: While under this curse, all failures
count as a Bestial failure. Additionally, even the
most menial task become more difficult to
accomplish. Add a +2 Difficulty to all the rolls
the target makes. In case of opposing dice
pools the enemy gain 2 automatic successes.
The power stays in effect for a week, a month
for a Critical Win.
Lure of Flames
The Lure of Flames is the thaumaturgical
embodiment of victory over fear. Pioneered by
vampires of Clan Tremere, it is both a way to
protect oneself from the bane of fire and a
weapon used to instil both injury and terror in
the enemy.
*Level 3
Anathema
With this ritual, the sorcerer conjures an eerie
flame in her palm that sheds light but offers no
warmth and does not provoke frenzy in other
vampires. When she releases it at a target
within sight, however, it burns like any ordinary
fire and is beyond her control.
■ Ingredients: A pound of charcoal dust, a
bowl, a single ray of sunlight.

9
■ Process: The caster mixes the charcoal dust
with his own Vitae in a bowl while chanting
during sunrise (which usually require a roll to
avoid falling asleep), then she lets a single ray
of sunlight in, which ignites the contents of the
bowl and forces a Terror Frenzy roll (Difficulty
3). If the caster fails the Frenzy roll, the Ritual
ends. If the caster does not enter Frenzy, they
make the Ritual roll and continue chanting until
the fire dies. The resulting ashes can be
collected. Upon necessity, the vampire cuts
her palm and grabs a fistful of ashes,
concentrating on the fire that once was, calling
back its spirit. Once complete, the cold flame
will not manifest until the sorcerer opens her
fist and channels, however long that takes.
■ System: Each success on the ritual roll
grants one use of the ashes, which conjure up
a bright, cold flames on her palm. The flames
do not harm the caster and give off no heat
while held in the caster's hand. The caster may
'release' the flames with Composure + Occult.
This counts as a Ranged attack with the
effective range of a shotgun that deals
Aggravated Damage equal to the margin with
a +1 Damage modifier, +2 on a Critical Win. A
Total Failure on the attack roll results in 2
Aggravated Health Damage, flames exploding
in their hand, and must also resist a Terror
Frenzy at Difficulty 2 Released flames are able
to set items around ablaze, causing Fear
Frenzy at Storyteller’s discretion. Fire created
this way is treated as normal fire with no
special properties. The ashes are potent until
the following dawn, or until expended,
whichever comes first.
Warding
Tremere who study this Path dedicate
themselves to defending the holdings of the
clan. They can practically hold off entire
armies. They are also capable of exposing
infiltrators before they breach the clan's havens
and hiding places.
They follow the same Process as Wards in the
corebook and can be detected with Sense The
Unseen (Auspex 1):
■ Process: The caster pours their Blood on the
object to be warded, tracing the glyph in it with
their bare finger. Once the caster wipes the
Blood off, the ward becomes invisible. The
Ward lasts until the warded object is physically
destroyed or broken unless stated otherwise.
*Level 1
Bar the Common Passage
The vampire paints her ward on a door or other
portal. The affected doorway is imbued with
enough magical fortification to hold back the
ferocious strength of a werewolf or the head of
a battering ram.
■ Ingredients: Nothing apart from the usual
requirement of the caster’s Blood.
■ System: On a successful ritual Roll, the
warded door fortifies, adding a +2 Difficulty (+4
on a Critical Win) to any attempt to open or
break it via Larceny or Feats of Strength. If the
warded portal opens, the Cainite ears prick up
and her hair stands on end. Last until the
following night.
*Level 2
Glyph of Scrying
By focusing her will, the vampire can view the
immediate vicinity of this kind of ward.
Paranoid Tremere princes can monitor entire
cities through these glyphs. Portable objects
can be imbued with these wards to function like
remote senses.
■ Ingredients: Dust from a smashed mirror
mixed with the caster's Blood.
■ System: On a successful roll the ward can
be used for a day, a week on a Critical Win.
The ward can be destroyed as usual, but
always fades after the time limit expires.
The vampire can establish a telepathic
connection but never with more than one at a
time. She can move about as normal while
focusing on a ward, but this subtract 1 die of
her pools as this is considered a minor action.
The Cainite can see or hear (chosen at the time
of scribing) everything in the surrounding area
as if she were using a surveillance camera.
Runes of Power
Many elders place these wards on ancient
tomes of magic, doorways or even on the floor,
always hidden among other runes or scriptures
of interest. Unwary neonates or intruders find
their mind foggy and have difficulty
remembering or recalling things they did before
or after reading the runes.
■ Ingredients: Powder from dried valerian
mixed with the caster’s Blood.
■ System: Do not make the Ritual roll until the
first time someone reads the runes, since
seeing them is not enough to activate its
powers. If the caster wins the Ritual test, the
10
victim suffers no immediate effect. When the
current Scene has ended, the reader has
problems remembering specific information
they obtained during the Scene in which they
read the Runes. Recalling such information
requires an Intelligence + Resolve roll against
Difficulty 4 or 6 on a Critical Win.

*Level 4
Glyph of Enlightenment
The vampire who paints these glyphs can use
them to transmit her voice. Tremere with this
ritual can even use it to attack distant
opponents.
■ Ingredients: The caster draws the glyph with
a fresh eye from a mortal, dipped in the mixture
of a handful of glass dust with the Blood.
■ System: On a successful roll the ward can
be used for a day, on a Critical win the ward
works for a week. By focusing on the ward, can
speak through the glyph. Additionally, the
vampire can choose to "transmit" another
Blood Sorcery power, thaumaturgicaly related
power or Ritual through it, if the power's
requirements can be met (physical contact with
the target of the power is not required, for
example). Using the glyph in this manner
reduces the rune's effectiveness by one day.

*Level 5
Secure the Sacred Domain
This potent ability can be used to seal off an
entire castle. One glyph, painted at the exact
center of a castle or tower, secures all
windows, portcullises, doors and other portals
from all entry or exit. A single Tremere can hold
off an entire army, for one night, this way.
■ Ingredients: Nothing but the Blood of the
caster.
■ System: The process takes an hour or more,
depending on the state or the area to be
warded. The vampire must paint the ward at
the exact center of the building. If the vampire
succeeds, no doors, windows or portals will
open via Larceny, and attempts to destroy
them are at +2 Difficulty (+4 on a Critical Win).
Likewise, existing breaches in walls may not be
passed, although new ones may be opened
and entered. The effects of this power last until
the following dawn.

Overhauled Paths
Levinbolt
The lightning sparked across the room, hitting both floor
and ceiling. “You seem to ignore why you’ve failed…
again.” The target, a wooden totem, lied on top of a black
pedestal, untouched by the electricity. “You’ve mastered
the… liberation of the energy your body now produces, but
you lack… the focus. I thought I told you to read that
book.” The sorceress was sitting on chair, all clad in black
and deep blue, reading something from a tablet while
speaking.
“But why would a book about Science help me? I mean no
disrespect, but when I joined you, I thought I would have
access to arcane tomes and deep secrets, not lessons about
mundane and humane things. I seek eldritch horrors,
knowledge about ancient things.” The neonate was
fidgeting his hands, feeling the phantom sensation of the
electricity on its undead body.
“Underestimating the knowledge of the humans was one of
many mistakes we made. We have much to learn from what
they’ve discovered. Controlling the lightning requires
knowledge of polar charges and interactions between them”
The sorceress raised its sight from the tablet to the totem
and extended one of her arms. A continuous stream of sparks
emerged from her fingers, caressing and blackening the
wood of the totem. Without interrupting the stream, she
began to move her arm at random, the end of the stream
still focused upon the totem.
“It’s as simple as that. Negatives go to positives, boy. Now,
go study.”
Nicknames: Path of Levinbolt, Technomancy
Lightning has long been considered the
dominion of the gods but has traditionally been
out of reach of thaumaturges due to a lack of
understanding of the principles of electricity. As
a result, this Path remained relatively obscure
until the birth of modern science and the efforts
of John Blackwood. The ample supply of
electricity in the late 19th century meant that
thaumaturges no longer had to wait until a
convenient storm to charge their powers but
could gather the required electricity in mere
seconds to direct as they chose.
Practitioners of Levinbolt learn to generate
electricity with their vitae, use the flow of
electrons as a means to influence the world
around them or power up their undead nerves
and brain as auxiliary “meat computers”.
■Type: Sorcery
■Masquerade Threat: Mid-High
Harnessing the power of the electricity with
bare hands is a clear Masquerade violation.
■Blood Resonance: Sanguine. Scientists,
engineers, technicians.
*Level 1
Flicker
The vampire draws in ambient charge from
around her; static electricity and ambient
electricity in the air, or actual electricity from
nearby outlets and devices. The effect is not
obvious, only visible in the snap of static
electricity from her fingertips. This charge can
be used to cause glitches in machinery and
other devices or to directly fry it.
■ Cost: Free
■ Dice Pools: Intelligence + Levinbolt
■ System: No additional test is needed to
create the glitches. Any use of a device or
machinery within a 10 meter radius of the
vampire removes dice equal to half the
Levinbolt rating rounded up, as the electricity
causes things like systems slowdown, glitches
etc. The vampire can attempt to 'discharge' the
electricity into a machine, frying it. This
requires a roll of Intelligence + Levinbolt vs a
Difficulty determined by the Storyteller based
on the machine's size, surge protection and
other factors, being 2 a regular laptop. In case
of portable electronics, the Storyteller can opt
to make the roll against the Resolve + Stamina
of the target. If successful, the electricity arcs
from the caster's fingertips, frying the machine.
■ Duration: One scene or until deactivation.
Frictionless Mobility
The vampire forces the electrons of the outer
layers of her body or clothing to avoid reacting
with others, due to this, nearly imperceptible
sparks travel her body at intervals. This lack of
interactions eliminates friction for the vampire,
allowing her to slide across surfaces as if
having rollers or treat a steep slope as her
personal slide. This power does not prevent
damage from direct falls but depending on the
angle it can redirect it to a slide, maintaining the
momentum and potentially bumping into
things.
12
■ Cost: Free
■ Dice Pools: Wits + Survival or Dexterity +
Athletics
■ System: If the vampire has time to prepare,
no roll is required. As a reaction, such as during
a sudden grapple, activating the power
requires a Wits + Survival roll at Difficulty 3. As
long as the power is in effect, the vampire
becomes slippery. Pushing or grappling her
becomes impossible, but regular Brawl attacks
still work. Additionally, maintaining the balance
while this is power active becomes tricky. The
character needs to make a Dexterity + Athletics
roll vs a Difficulty dictated by the Storyteller, to
avoid stumbling and falling. On a Win, the
vampire is able to move with grace and ease
until the surface she’s moving changes
significantly. On a failed roll, she falls and
continues moving in the direction she was
trying to move.
■ Duration: One scene or until deactivation.
Electroception
■ Amalgam: Auspex 1
The vampire detects the electric fields
generated by living beings and modern
technology or machinery. This allows them to
“see” these fields even through walls,
effectively adding a new sense to her arsenal.
■ Cost: Free
■ Dice Pools: Resolve + Levinbolt
■ System: No roll is required to activate
Electroreception. While active, the user senses
electrical fields related to electronic devices
and living beings as part of their standard
perception tests. This power also allows the
vampire to perceive objects, animals and
people otherwise hidden from the naked eye
(such as behind a wall or in supernatural
darkness) as long as they have electricity.
Anything that has a perceptible electrical
charge may be found with this power, at
Storyteller’s discretion, including radio waves
and other electrical signals. In the modern
nights, radio and similar signals saturate the
city. Discerning between the multiple signals
requires a Resolve + Levinbolt vs a Difficulty
decided by the specific signal. Deciphering
walkie talkie or radio signals is usually rolled vs
Difficulty 2, while cell phone communication is
rolled at 3. Landline or more encrypted
methods involve higher Difficulties at
Storyteller discretion.
■ Duration: Passive.
*Level 2
Synapsis Enhancement
Widely used for those that consider
themselves Technomancers, this power uses
the dead brain as an auxiliary computer. The
vampire draws in ambient charge from around
her, and immediately applies that charge in an
unorthodox way: channelling it into her mental
faculties, essentially giving herself medical
electrical brain stimulation and increasing
cognitive function.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ System: Add your Levinbolt rating to all
Academics, Science and Technology rolls for
the Scene.
■ Duration: One scene or until dismissed.
Electrical Stimulation
■ Amalgam: Fortitude 1
The vampire draws in ambient charge from
around her, and immediately applies that
charge
to attempt normal body functioning under
extreme circumstances, like making broken
muscles work as intended or to ready one's
mind after mental defeat, effectively negating
the effects of the impairment of choice.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ System: No roll is needed to activate this
power. When activated, the vampire chooses
its Willpower or Health tracker, ignoring the
penalties from impairment for the duration.
This power does not prevent penalties from
Crippling Injuries. Only one instance from this
power can be active at any time.
■ Duration: One scene.
*Level 3
Discharge
Rather than drawing in ambient charge from
around the area; this time the effect is much
more pronounced, as their body takes on a
deep blue hue as energy arcs across them,
making this an obvious breach of the
Masquerade. The vampire immediately
discharges this as a burst of electricity from
their hands, either in the form of an arc of blue
lightning from their fingertips, or a full-body
discharge of deep blue electricity. Upon
impact, the muscles of the target stiffen up,
making it hard to move.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ Dice Pools: Intelligence + Levinbolt vs
Dexterity + Athletics or Strength + Stamina.
13
■ System: Channelling the raw energy of
electricity involves an Intelligence + Levinbolt
attack roll (which can be dodged like any
ranged attack) with +2 to damage bonus. This
causes the crippling injury stunned for a turn
and causes Aggravated Health damage to
mortals and un-halved Superficial to Kindred.
Alternatively, if the character is being touched
by the target (such as in a Grapple) this
becomes a full-body discharge, resisted by the
target's Strength + Stamina. A mortal who
takes even one point of damage collapses
unconscious. It is possible to use this power on
humans in a non-lethal way, removing the
damage but not the unconsciousness.
■ Duration: One use

ElectroMagnetic Cover
Channelling the electricity produced by her
undead body as well as the ambient charge
with great precision, the vampire creates an
electromagnetic field strong enough to stop
bullets.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ Dice Pools: Composure + Levinbolt.
■ System: The vampire creates a vertical,
rectangular field of crackling electricity that has
a maximum length in yards/meters equal to the
Levinbolt dots of the user. The size and width
of the field can be modulated once per turn to
cover other teammates inside the range at the
cost as risking more damage to it. The vampire
can do nothing else except control the field and
walk while this power is active. Anyone
attempting a Ranged attack against targets
protected by the field roll against Difficulty 1
and subtracts the margin to the field’s Health.
The field has a Health equal to three times the
Levinbolt dots of the user and receives damage
like mortals. The user can opt to redirect the
bullets trapped in the field to attack with a roll
of Composure + Levinbolt, with a damage
bonus equal to half its missing Health (round
up). This attack has the effective range of a
shotgun. Attempting such action makes the
field collapse.
■ Duration: One scene or until collapse.

*Level 4
Eye of the Storm
The vampire draws in so much ambient charge
that her body becomes the centre of a veritable
electrical storm, with significant electrical

14
charge enveloping her body and fluctuating
constantly in blinding flashes of light.
■ Cost: Two Rouse Checks
■ System: Anyone attempting to make a
Ranged or Thrown attack against the caster
suffers a penalty to their pool equal to the
Levinbolt rating of the vampire. When fighting
in Close Combat, the attacker suffers 3
Superficial Health Damage as the electricity
reacts to the stimulus and 'lashes out' at the
attacker.
■ Duration: One scene or until dismissed.
*Level 5
Thor's Fury
An advancement of the Discharge power, the
strength of the vampire's bolts are such that the
damage is an order of magnitude higher,
lightning arcs and bursts from where the
vampire wills it to strike, more in line with 'real'
lightning'.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ Dice Pools: Intelligence + Levinbolt vs
Dexterity + Athletics or Strength + Stamina.
■ System: This power uses the same base
system as Discharge, with increased damage.
The lightning does Aggravated Health damage
to mortals and vampires alike. If the target
receives any point of damage, the lightning
discharges electricity around them. Anyone
within three-meter radius of it must make a
Dexterity + Athletics roll vs Difficulty 3 to avoid
the bouncing lightning. Failing the roll causes
the Crippling Injury Stunned for a turn. A mortal
who takes even one point of damage dies
instantly.
■ Duration: One use.
Redirect the Lightning
Channelling the electricity of a nearby source,
like electric lines or during a storm, the vampire
can “call the lightning” to strike her enemies in
a blinding flash.
■ Cost: Two Rouse Checks
■ Dice Pools: Resolve + Levinbolt
■ System: Given the erratic nature of this
power, the opponent makes no roll to dodge or
defend. Roll Resolve + Levinbolt against
Difficulty 1 and Causes Aggravated Health
damage to mortals and Superficial un-halved
to Kindred equal to the margin. When the
lightning smashes, anyone within three-meter
radius of the striking point receives the
Crippling Injury Stunned for a turn. This power
can only be used once per scene.
■ Duration: One use.
Transmutation
Of course it was a trap, she thought to herself. How could I
be so naïve? Unarmed and unable to flee, hiding inside a
fucking damped room in a fucking damped building a
fucking mile away from the fucking city. Fucking precious.
Voices came from the other side of the door, strolling along
the corridor. They were looking for her and unless she did
something, she was screwed. In no time they would find her
and it would be the end. Water gathered together on small
puddles, mirroring the dim light that the moon projected
through a too small window to use for escape. She needed
to get out of there. Fast.
She reached out to one of the small puddles, willing her
blood to interfere with the energies that bounded together
the molecules of the water, changing them, forcing them to
interact in a stronger way. From the puddle emerged a
pommel that she grabbed eagerly. The small puddle
disappeared as a slender blade made entirely of crystalized
water appeared in her hand, still too fragile to do anything.
She willed her blood again to transmit its strength into the
links that made the strange object, fortifying its structure.
The door blasted open with a push, but she was ready and
quickly slit the throat of the first enemy. The second pointed
a gun at her but with a tap, the gun that was no more,
liquified to the floor.
Nicknames: Path of Transmutation,
Thaumaturgical Alchemy.
Guns and knives melt into pools of metal, wood
petrifies and becomes brittle, and common
boundaries such as walls and doors transmute
to vapor. The laws of chemistry do not bind
Warlocks employing the powers of
transmutation, as materials shift their state
regardless of their temperature. This path is
looked upon somewhat unfavourably among
the Tremere, as it reflects a "quick and dirty"
effect rather than true mastery of alchemical
transmutation.
■Type: Sorcery
■Masquerade Threat: Mid-High
■Blood Resonance: Sanguine. Scientists,
engineers, technicians.

*Level 1
Fortify the Solid Form
By fortifying a solid object, a magus increases
the strength and integrity of an item. A
thaumaturge mystically transmutes a feather to
become a crude blunt object, pencils become
makeshift stakes, and a carboard box
becomes as tough as metal.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ System: This power increases the offensive
or defensive capabilities of an object the caster
touches. When used for defence, the object
should be big enough to cover some part of the
body of the vampire, becoming a reinforced
cover. When used for offence, the object
becomes a Weapon with a Damage bonus
equal to half the Transmutation rating (rounded
up). Objects that are already weapons are
unaffected. This power cannot be used to
increase the structure of a living creature.
However, a thaumaturge may use Fortify the
Solid Form in conjunction with the Crystallize
the Liquid Form to make a very solid piece of
ice, molten metal, etc.
■ Duration: One scene or until the object is
destroyed.

Crystallize the Liquid Form

Tremere designed this power to prevent other
Kindred from taking vitae. This can also be
used to solidify water and molten metal. Liquids
within living bodies may not be altered, though
blood exiting the body may be solidified.
Kindred may not consume solidified blood.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ System: The vampire may transform One
Rouse check (or about one litre of other liquids)
per Transmutation rating into solid form for a
scene. This substance will not change in
temperature; solidified molten steel still burns
and melts other material. The liquid must be
within the thaumaturge's line of sight.
■ Duration: One scene.

*Level 2
A World of Wet Clay
Thaumaturges with this power can deform a
wall with a simple caress, leaving their fingers
printed like it was made of clay. The main use
of this power is to deform solid objects but with
enough inventive allows the creation of traps or
artistic pieces. Quick uses of this power leave
significant trails behind, like if the object was

16
melted or the concrete was altered when it was
still wet.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ Dice Pools: Dexterity + Transmutation
■ System: Once activated, the vampire treats
any inorganic solid material as if it was mud,
being able to easily disable most objects or
with enough time, even able to burrow herself
into buildings. Molding to deform materials
requires no dice pool test. Additionally,
sculpting to create more complex structures
requires a Dexterity + Transmutation roll; the
Difficulty depends on the task required.
Creating simple spikes is Difficulty 3, while
creating complex traps is Difficulty 6. This
power can also be used for artistic purposes
among others at Storyteller’s discretion.
■ Duration: One scene or until a mass equal
to that of a regular human has been molded.
*Level 3
Liquefy the Solid Form
A thaumaturge may "melt" solid objects and
leave them in a liquid-like state. By employing
this power, attackers could find their weapons
in small pools at their feet. Stakes rot away at
a rapid pace, and blades corrode into soft,
nondescript puddles. After a time, the object
returns to their original shape which many
thaumaturges claim is a recent improvement
over an older, more dated version of this
power.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ Dice Pools: Wits + Transmutation
■ System: Touching an object, the
thaumaturge transforms it into a liquid, thus
assuming a deformed state and rendered
useless. The Difficulty depends upon the size
of the object that may be changed, being one
for a lighter and five for an entire car. Only
entire objects can be affected by this power.
On combat this can be used against the pool of
an opponent, a Win rendering the weapon
useless. This power does not work on objects
that forcefully contact the vampire, meaning it
will not melt a weapon unless the user can
catch it before it hits. As much as many
Tremere would like it, Liquefy the Solid Form
may not be used on living (or unliving) beings.
A transformed object remains in a liquid state
for One scene, after which it resumes its
original shape.
■ Duration: One scene.
Gaol
When a Warlock invokes this power, he
solidifies the air into an opaque, indestructible
object. A crude shimmering prism forms
around a victim's body, encasing him within
unbreakable material. Doorways become
impenetrable boundaries as the air between a
door condenses to a resilient barrier.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ Dice Pools: Resolve + Transmutation
■ System: Touching the air, the thaumaturge
transforms it into a solid object. The Difficulty
depends upon the size of the object that may
be changed, being one for a brick and five to
form a solid block of air that can encompass a
single being. Once the air condenses, it
becomes completely indestructible; this effect
lasts for one Scene. Victims trapped within the
solid air will not be able to break through this
barrier (not even with Potence), though mortals
will not suffocate.
The oxygen within the block is breathable,
though liquid like. These victims will
experience an uncomfortable sensation in their
lungs from the alien dependency on the
oxygenated fluid, and they may reject it
altogether. When the effect of Gaol expires, the
barrier around the subject dissipates into its
original gaseous state. The oxygen within the
target's lungs, however, will remain a fluid and,
though breathable, must be purged from the
body - coughed out - before it can transmute
back into a gas. Subjects suffer one level of
Superficial Health damage from this
overexertion.
■ Duration: One scene.
*Level 4
Imbue the Water of Life
■ Prerequisite: Crystallize the Liquid Form
The thaumaturgy is able to crystallize vitae with
the concentrated essence of other Discipline
powers. Said crystal grant to anyone who
consumes it one single use of the power.
Those that prefer commodity dissolve them
first in a potion-like fashion, others destroy
them with their jaws. But some thaumaturges
prefer to create needle-like crystals and insert
them with it. The sight of a thaumaturge
decorated with bright red crystal became
synonymous with trouble since this power was
discovered.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check or several
17
■ System: Following a Rouse Check plus any
needed to activate the desired power, the
thaumaturge crystalizes its essence. The
resulting crystal (which can have any form) can
later be consumed to activate the effect of said
power for free with the dicepool or rating of the
original vampire. Crystals that house powers
that require a target need to be introduced into
the body of the desired target to make use of
the effects. For the purpose of Dominate
powers, the commands are said during the
creation of the crystal. Imbue The Water of Life
can also create crystals from Kindred that have
any amount of the user’s Blood inside them.
■ Duration: Depends on the power used but
up Scene at much.
*Level 5
Ghost Wall
After attaining this level of mastery, a
thaumaturge finds herself no longer hindered
by common barriers such as walls and rock
formations. With but a thought, solid objects
shift to a vaporous state and may be traversed
with little difficulty. The Warlock passes beyond
walls, as they are insubstantial and will not
obstruct his movement. Targets fall through a
gaseous floor, and vaporous parachutes are
useless in slowing the travel speed of a
skydiver.
■ Cost: One Rouse Check
■ Dice Pools: Intelligence + Transmutation
■ System: The thaumaturge may transform an
object within yards/meters equal to her
Transmutation rating. The Difficulty depends
upon the size of the thing that may be changed,
being one for a laptop and five to transmute a
city bus. A transmuted object keeps its shape
and becomes transparent, being able to pass
through it. This effect lasts for three turns, after
which the object in question reforms as if
nothing had ever happened. Needless to say,
this is an outrageous breach of the
Masquerade if any inappropriate eyes observe
it. If an object cannot reform fully due to the
destruction of its environment, this power
cannot be used again until the Scene ends.
Should a victim occupy the same space as the
object after this power expires, she suffers a
number of health levels of Aggravated Damage
the Storyteller determines appropriate to the
circumstance. For example, a rock reforming
within a body might inflict a single level of
Aggravated Health damage, where a person
trapped within a tree trunk should suffer at least
five. Objects that reform partially within another
object will remain this way until physically
removed or invoked to be vaporous again.
■ Duration: Three turns.
Shall This Place Become Hell
Drastically elevates or drops the temperature.
Metals quickly become too hot to hold or
movement becomes difficult because of the
freezing temperatures.
■ Cost: Two Rouse Check
■ System: The user makes the Rouse Checks
and spends a turn concentrating, changing the
temperature over the desired surface. The
effect covers a circular area with a radius equal
to twice the user’s Transmutation rating in
yards/ meters. The area is centred on the user
or a spot in their line of sight. It doesn’t matter
if the thaumaturge choses to elevate or drop
the temperature, the mechanical effects
remain the same. The extreme temperature
deals 1 point of Superficial per turn and
prevents any kind of healing while inside the
range of this power. Additionally, any weapon
becomes too hot or cold to be wielded and
movement inside the zone becomes
problematic, requiring a roll of Stamina +
Resolve vs Difficulty 3.
■ Duration: One Scene.
