Mortuus Path

Basic

Reaper's Shroud - Level 1
This power allows the Cainite or the subject of her choice to take on the semblance of death. Skin stretches tight over bones, flesh grows pale and sallow and joints seize as the body grows rigid with only but a touch. This power may be used to 'play dead' and look the part, or to curse another with the appearance of the walking dead. The Effects last until either the first dawn, or dusk.

Blight - Level 2
This power allows the vampire to accelerate the aging and decrepitude process in his intended victim, with but a touch. The subject suffers the effects of old age: brittle bones, dry and thin skin and various rheumatic pains among others. Some victimes have even acquired certain ailments normally experienced by the elderly, including bone diseases and arthritis. The Effects last until either the first dawn, or dusk.

Intermediate

Resume the Coil - Level 3
This power allows vampires to wrench themselves free from death's long slumber. A character who posseses this level of mastery may throw off the darkness of torpor or aid another in doing so.

True Death - Level 4
The Necromancer may temprorarily cheat the Curse of Caine, albeit briefly, by becoming truly dead. While invoking this power, the character suffers none of the traditional banes against vampires. he is not burned by sunlight, holy water does not harm him, and he does not rise from the dead each night. He has literally become a corpse. The Necromancer can choose to be dead, as long as he wants, but it requires blood to return.

Advanced

Mercy for Seth - Level 5
Named after mortals - the Children of Seth - this power causes a victim to contract a virulent plaugue, similar to the epidemics of the 11th through 15th centuries (the Black Plague, the Red Death, etc.). This illness causes death within 24 hours for mortals and sends vampires to torpor within the same period of time. Mortal victims of plague exhibit terrible plague symptoms - sunken eyes, blackened limbs, bloody sweat and excreations, swollen nodes and weeping lesions. The power requires the vampire to touch the intended target.
