Soma
(Auspex •••, Dominate ••••, Celerity •)
Through a careful understanding of Kindred psychology and physiology, an Agoniste can exert some control over the speed of Blood Potency loss in Torpor. While easing a vampire into Torpor, the Agoniste works the Soma in a long, carefully constructed ritual, winding the subject in a prepared funeral shroud and intoning a complex chant. The entire ritual takes more than four hours to complete, and cannot be interrupted once it has begun.
Effect
A successful use of this power alters the rate of change in the target vampire’s Blood Potency, thinning it out more quickly or holding onto its power longer. Each success allows the base time for a drop in Blood Potency (normally 25 years) to be adjusted by five years, up to a maximum of 50 and a minimum of 5.
