Basic

Shroudsight - Level 1
With minimal effort, you can see the Shroud that separates the world of the living from the lands of the dead. The Underworld appears as a decaying and ghastly reflection of the mortal world, sometimes with structures lost to the past or unusual spirits flying about. You can see (though not hear or feel) anything that transpires in the Underworld within your normal visual range, with a sort of “double sight” that does not hinder your normal vision.

Lifeless Tongues - Level 2
The babble of restless spirits is clear to you. By concentrating for a moment, you attune your senses to the Underworld, making yourself capable of both seeing and hearing all that transpires there around you. Furthermore, you can understand the language of the dead, so unless a ghost goes out of the way to use a language that you do not know, you can comprehend the words of any wraith.

Intermediate

Dead Hands - Level 3
The structures and entities of the Underworld are very real to you. In a bizarre sort of half-life, you can stretch your physical form across the Shroud, interacting with beings and scenery there even as your physical body remains partially in the living world. During this time, you do not actually pierce the Shroud, but your actions affect both worlds. Thus, you can climb a ghostly rope, then turn and step onto a real-world roof. You can also lash out physically and strike or grapple with ghosts, though they can return the attacks. However, you cannot push or pull objects from one world to the next. Effectively, you exist in both realms simultaneously, which can be very disturbing to those watching you climb invisible ropes or grapple unseen opponents.

Ex Nihilo - Level 4
Tearing through the Shroud between worlds, you can cross into the land of the dead. This journey is a harrowing one, for many spirits wait to take vengeance on necromancers, and the Underworld is full of hazards unknown to most Vampires. Furthermore, there is no way to gather blood or sustenance in the Underworld and you can become lost in the storms and seas of the deadlands. Still, this discipline allows for direct contact with shades of the restless and it serves as an unusual means of travel. While you are in the Underworld, you still see everything that transpires in the mortal world, but your physical form exists in the realm of the dead.

Advanced

Shroud Mastery - Level 5
Your control over the barrier between the living and dead worlds is nearly absolute. Instead of stepping across or watching the events of the Underworld, you can actually manipulate the fabric of the Shroud. By changing the strength of the web between worlds, you can make it easier to cross, or bar wraiths from exerting their influence on the material world.
