•• Blood Is Life
There is power in blood, a fact that vampires probably recognize more strongly than any other creatures. The Kindred know that they are unnatural, that there is more to the Vitae that drives them than simple blood stolen from humanity to keep another Requiem from ending. With this power, a vampire learns how to transform her Vitae into Essence, a lifeblood of another sort, and allow other creatures to consume it.
Effect
With the successful use of this power, the character spills a quantity of her Vitae on the ground. As she does so, the Vitae ceases to be the potent symbol of her unlife and becomes instead soaked with Essence. She could lick it up now, if she wanted, and get nothing from it. Spirits and other entities that manipulate Essence, on the other hand, may absorb one point of this free-floating Essence per turn as an instant action. It is a feast for most spirits. After one minute, any remaining Essence has dissipated.
While this power does not give the vampire any ability to command spirits, this power creates the potential for some very real influence over them. Spirits need Essence to live and grow strong and take well to bribery (as a general rule). Some spirits can even take over human bodies and might bargain with a vampire to trade willing vessels for the Essence the vampire can provide.
