| Equilibrium |
| The Discipline of Equilibrium allows the vampire to regulate and redirect the flow of Chi in her body. Masters fo Equilibrium commonly concern themselves with maintaining proper Chi balance in their systems; conversely, though, Equilibrium can be used to create grotesque Chi imbalances in individuals who displease the user. Most abilities require a touch, and this Discipline may not affect ghosts and spirits unless the vampire has other Disciplines enabling her to touch such beings. * Master Flow Vampires with Equilibrium quickly master the basic processes of regulating Chi flows in their bodies. ** Adjust Balance By touching a victim, the vampire may adjust the Chi levels in that victim's body. A target may be overwhelmed with Yin or Yang, or an imbalanced being may be restored to health. *** Shift the Balance With this power, a vampire may regulate the levels of Chi in her own body. She may attune herself to Yin or Yang and become a conductor for positive or negative energy. **** Chi Interrupt A vampire at this level of power may interrupt the flow of Chi through another being. This interruption causes spasms and, if the Chi points are hit properly, total paralysis. ***** Chi Mastery With a touch, the vampire can bleed the Chi from a victim or can corrupt the Chi flow, rendering the victim defiled. ***** * Soothing the Soul A master of Equilibrium can smooth out inconsistencies and eddies in the Chi flow of a subject. As a result, the target feels a momentary sense of peace, an almost overpowering calm. Enraged or suffering individuals find their pains soothed, while frightened or agitated subjects are given momentary calm and resolve. ***** ** Accentuate Chi By heightening the Yin or Yang energies in a subject, the Kuei-jin causes the target to experience extreme swings of mood and energy. Yin energies cause the victim to become languid, dull-minded and slow, while Yang energies make the subject restless and aggitated. ***** *** Opening the Gates The Kuei-jin forces open the 'dams' that hold the victim's Chi in check, causing the energy to flood the victim's body uncontrollably and burn his flesh from the inside out. ***** **** Adjust the True Balance This power allows the vampire to create a lasting imablance in the victim's Chi, with all the attendant difficulties inherent to that regrettable state. |
