Oblivion

Oblivion is a Discipline that allows its users to draw on something wholly unnatural; calling forth supernatural darkness from the Abyss and enslaving specters through Oblivion.

Those who practice Oblivion flirt with something unnatural; the very realm where wraiths are destroyed forever. This danger does not come without power however, as the masters of this Discipline call upon it to wreathe themselves in night, enslave specters, and throttle victims with their own shadow. On a result of 1 or 10 when making a Rouse Check for the Discipline, the vampire suffers a Stain as Oblivion seeps into their soul. These can be avoided by those with potent blood, who may reroll certain Discipline-associated Rouse Checks.

Oblivion's supernatural projections of darkness and void are vulnerable to bright directed lights, fire, sunlight, and True Faith. A lack of shadows to pull from can make this Discipline difficult to use, though ultraviolet and infrared lights have no effect.

Oblivion is resonant to a total lack of Resonance, such as psychopaths and those without emotional attachment.
