Obtenebration

The bailiwick of the Lasombra, the Obtenebration Discipline grants its users power over darkness. The precise nature of the "darkness" invoked is a matter of debate among the Keepers. Some believe it to be shadows, while others, perhaps more correctly, believe the power grants a Kindred control over the stuff of her soul, allowing her to coax it tangibly forth.

Custom discipline in this campaign:

Shimada

Precursor: Shadow Meld

Prerequisites: Occult 3

Keywords: Obvious

Cost: 1bp

The kindred learns to hide objects in their darkness. Taking a few minutes the kindred can slowly work items into their shadow, hiding them there until they wish to retrieve them. Taking an item out means the kindred has to reach into a place their body casts shadow, they only have to think of the item they put in and the darkness will provide.

The objects are hidden from view, however if their shadow ceases entirely everything will come spilling forth.

System: The player spends a Blood Point per object they want to hide, an object that has to be wielded in 2 hands is too big and cannot be put in the shadow.

Items are ejected each sunset, and must be put into the shadow again if the kindred wants to hide them. Objects are also expelled when the kindred shadow is entirely gone, such as between multiple fires, or under multiple floodlights.

Putting objects in your shadow or removing them is Obvious, taking an item out takes an action.
