| Internalize |
| The Dual soul can be a curse, but Kuei-jin who master Hun and P'o are capable of feats of will far surpassing anything their Kindred rivals can imagine. The Internalize Discipline centers on inner focus and control. Vampires who master itare rare, but capable of channeling their inner strength to perform seemingly impossible tasks. They are among the most controlled of all Kuei-jin. * No Mind Through a series of meditative exercises, the vampire empties his Hun of all surface thoughts and gives himself over to direction by the All. Through this no one can read or control the mind of a vampire. ** Blood Yoga Engaging in deep meditation, the vampire seeks to banish her ever-present nightmares and recharge her psychic reserves more quickly. Vampires with this power regain their mental focus more readily than other creatures can. *** Distant Death Kata The Kuei-jin forces herself to inhale while concentrating on a foe within the line of sight. She must then hold the breath, focus and exhale while simultaneously executing a flawless strike to the empty air in front of her. If the attack is delivered properly, action and spirit become one, mystically delivering the force of the attack to the target. **** Iron Soul The vampire at this level of mastery is a frightening opponent, for he has learned to channel his inner strength into the accomplishment of prodigious acts. Kuei-jin with Iron Soul can perform herculean acts, make impossible shots and otherwise act heroically. ***** Harmony With the All At this level, the vampire can attune her consciousness to the cosmic cycle, temporarily casting her mind back to the unity of the First Age. While using this power, a vampire acts spontaneously and effortlessly, executing tasks perfectly without thought or planning. ***** * Reaping the Dragons Road A Kuei-jin with this power can take Chi straight from Dragonlines and Nests with sheer force of will. The Kuei-jin does not drink in the Chi energies as usual -- instead, he centers his awareness deep within and joins his consciousness to the wellspring of energy, pulling the Chi energy into himself. ***** ** Steel Soul An advanced form of Iron Soul, this power allows the Kuei-jin to perform even greater and more prodigious feats. ***** *** Armor of Enlightenment A Kuei-jin with this power is so enlightened, so in tune with his inner self and the world around him, that he can resist all attempts to injure him. ***** **** Holding the Green Demon at Bay The most amazing feat of will performed by masters of Internalize is the ability literally to delay or defer their own death. When "mortally" wounded, the Kuei-jin is able to hold his souls within his body, keeping himself in this realm until help can be provided. |
