Chains of the Spirit

Majesty •, Obfuscate ••

World of Darkness - Shadows of Mexico
Religious and spiritual disagreements are common amongst the Kindred of this brood, even among the vampires of a single covenant. Such arguments can easily escalate to violence — dead blood can suddenly run very hot, indeed. When used, this Devotion helps a vampire of the brood project an aura of blessedness; the impression given is that she possesses an obvious spark of the divine, thus calming those who look upon her. (This is perceived differently by each vampire: one may see that she has faintly glowing eyes, another may witness a halo around her head like sun glare.)

Effect

If the Devotion is successful, the vampire appears beatific and holy to those viewing her. First, this negates the effects of Predator’s Taint (the vampire herself may still suffer those effects, but those viewing her do not). Second, any vampires within a number of yards equal to her Blood Potency have difficulty frenzying. When resisting frenzy (which they must do, as they cannot “ride the wave” if this power is active), a nearby vampire gains a number of bonus dice upon the “resist frenzy” roll equal to the caster’s successes on the activation roll. This power remains active for the rest of the scene.
