The first five levels function the same as the modern equivalents unless otherwise noted.
1 • Silence of Fiery Blood (DA Rev)
2 • Scorpion's Touch(DA Rev)
3 • Dagon's Call (DA Rev)
4 • Baal's Caress(DA Rev)
5 • Blood Essence (DA Rev)
With this power an Assamite can distill the unholy life force of a vampire and extract it as a thick, blackish blood. Once extracted, this mereful cupful of blackish liquid contains all the destroyed vampire's essence, and anyone who consumes it effectively diablerizes the victim. The vampire drains all his victim's blood through whatever means available, and then must drain the heart's blood. Instead of sucking it out through brute force, however, the vampire uses Quietus to distill the potent vitae. The victim remains alert during the entire process and can fight back. Once all health levels are gone, the victim is destroyed and his essence is drained into a chalice. The distilled heart's blood remains liquid and fresh for a number of nights equal to the Quietus master's Willpower. After that, it becomes caked and dry. Anyone drinking it while fresh gains all the benefits and potential pitfalls of having successfully diablerized the victim.
6 • Ripples of the Heart (DA Rev)
Masters of Quietus can not only change the physical properties of their own blood, but lace others' vitae with emotions and other sensations. With Ripples of the Heart, a vampire can leave an emotional trace in one from whom she has fed, which then resonates in any Cainite who feeds from it. Assamite elders are said to use this power to mark and protect their herds from rivals, but it can also be used quite easily to send tainted mortals into an enemy's domain to be fed upon and hence weaken the area's defenses. The character drinks at least one blood point from the subject mortal then spends a minute in physical contact with the subject while concentrating on the emotion he wishes to leave in her blood. Costs one Willpower point and lasts for one lunar month per success. The mortal's blood can only carry one emotion at a time so subsequent attempts to use Ripples of the Heart on the same individual have no effect until the previous application wears off.
The strength of the emotion engendered in a feeding vampire depends on how many blood points he takes from the subject mortal. One blood point results in a momentary mood swing, 2 cause a significant shift in demeanor, 3 or more generate a complete change in emotional state. A vampire overtaken by romantic love might temporarily believe themselves in love with the mortal (or any other convenient bystander). One who drinks from a hate-infused vessel may rend her prey to shreds, one who takes a draught of mortal touched with fear may run away screaming. The vampire remains subject to the emotions for a number of hours equal to the mortal's Willpower, although she is still subject to other feelings after the initial rush of sensation. The mortal who is under this is unaware of the power's effect, though he is slightly predisposed toward the emotion in question. The vampire who used Ripples of the Heart is immune to any of its effects he places on targets.
