____-Form
of Mist: The vampire may transform into mist. The vampire may
not attack while in mist form, but can be damaged only by sunlight,
fire or mental Disciplines.
Thaumaturgy
____The
study of Thaumaturgy is largely restricted to the Tremere, although
certain vampires among the Sabbat are rumored to employ the Discipline.
Thaumaturgy is vampiric sorcery: ritual spellcasting and blood
magic. Unlike other Disciplines, Thaumaturgy requires both blood
expenditure and a Psychic roll (difficulty 4) to use successfully.
If the roll fails, the Blood Level is lost.
Basic
____-Blood
Magic: The vampire may manipulate his own blood. The first success
he rolls allows him to "charge" two Blood Levels in
his body, making them of double potency if spent (i.e., a Blood
Level "charged" in this manner heals two Health Levels
or adds +2 Physical). Each additional success enables him to
"charge" an additional Blood Level.
____-Defense
of the Haven: The vampire casts this ritual on his haven before
going to sleep for the day. This ritual darkens the haven, preventing
any stray sunlight from reaching the vampire. Additionally, any
stake thrust at the sleeping vampire's heart automatically crumbles
to dust.

____-Telekinesis:
The vampire may levitate and move objects via psychic force.
The amount of weight he can lift (in pounds) equals 50 times
his Psychic Trait. Living beings may resist Telekinesis by scoring
more successes on a Mental roll (difficulty 5) than the vampire
scored on his Psychic roll.
Advanced
____-Fireballs:
The vampire may hurl mystical fireballs. These inflict three
levels of aggravated damage. Each fireball costs one Blood Level
(not the normal two) to create.
____-Weather
Control: The vampire may change or amplify existing weather patterns.
Additionally, if under the open sky, the vampire may call down
bolts of lightning on his foes (difficulty 5 to target accurately).
Lightning inflicts three levels of normal damage.
____-Cauldron
of Blood: The vampire may mystically boil the blood in an opponent's
body. Mortals affected by this power die instantly; vampires
lose a number of Health and Blood Levels equal to the vampire's
successes.
Blood and Health
____Besides
the four Traits already mentioned, vampires are measured via
two other criteria: Blood Levels and Health Levels.
