Upadana “Loose the Bonds of Attachment"
The Sakadagami see great strife and suffering grow from the attachments of the blood. Through centuries of trial and error, in an attempt to remove these terrifying bonds of the blood, some few Ordained have mastered the Treasure listed below.
Mind Like an Open Sore: The Sakadagami is able to affect the Blood Addiction she causes, and her own vulnerability to it. By spending one Willpower point for an evening, the Sakadagami’s Vitae causes no Blood Addiction, and if she feeds from other Kindred, the roll to resist doing so again (see p. 158 of Vampire: The Requiem) receives a +2 modifier.
Mind Like a Flash of Lightning: A monk has not mastered the addictive qualities in his blood, but is able to minimize the damage that The Vinculum can do. Kindred blood only causes Vinculi that last one month per step, and the Sakadagami loses one step of the bond per month, unlike normal Kindred.
Mind Like a Diamond: Now, with almost complete understanding of the ties of blood, the Ordained can reduce the threat of blood borne attachment, even from those closest to him. The character’s blood cannot be identified as belonging to any clan, should someone attempt to do so using the Taste of Family (p. 163 of Vampire: The Requiem) or morerarified methods like Blut Alchemie (p. 83).
