Messiah - "SA Disc"


Sound of Silence
This effect nullifies the effects of all sound in the area. It leaves any Discipline that has to be activated by sound useless, and also leaves spellcasters unable to use their powers. This is useful for vampires that depend on feeling and scent for battle more than sound or sight, and many times Elmina demonstrated how she was able to have it out with the best without sound.

Image of the Saviour
This is the ability to phase out of existance, rendering the first blow agaisnt the vampire useless. Nothing, even magicked weapons, can hit a vampire that is phased, but this phase takes up all attack actions, so it is primarily a defensive technique, used if one is in a very bad situation.

Caress of Salvation
By swinging one's hand, the Cainite can use the gravity flow in the area to impace someone with the strength of a battering ram. Because gravity is a part of all things, it is very hard to shield against such a power, and this attack is often used as an intimidation technique by those in the Shadow Dancers bloodline.

Shadow Angel's Halo
Similar to several parts of Obtenebration, this allows one to become shadow, and walk in and through any shadows in the area. It also allows one to access the plane of shadow, and in the form of darkness, walk and live there, for a limited amount of time. Those using this often become colder in nature, as the negative aspect of shadow eventually overtakes their subconscious.

Divine Sphere of Retribution
By use of the power of the gravitic axis of the planet, one can force gravity into a ball and hurl it at a foe. It slams into them and explodes in a cone of force, doing twice the damage to them as a Gravitic thrust. However, this is able to be defended against by shields, as it is a direct attack with a projectile, unlike the Gravitic thrust.

Shades of Salvation
This allows the Cainite to make a double of him or herself, a projected image, but unlike illusion, it can do damage, that is real..but it can only take three blows before it shatters. During this process, the Cainite may move about as his double preforms actions such as combat, free to use other disciplines to aid in defeating a foe. This is also a good 'distract and run' tacitc.

Negatis
This insidious power traps a foe in a black ball of gravity, that constantly swirls with little jolts of blue lightning. It slowly crushes the person inside to death, until nothing is left but blood and powdered bone. The concentration however, is immense and the Cainite cannot be interrupted, (ie, struck by a weapon) while she is utilizing the effect of the Negatis power.

Hand of the Messiah
This final attack of the Messiah discipline is unique indeed. By powering it, the hand of the Cainite glows a soft black/purple, and her whole body glows a pale black or purple, but not both. If it is black, by touching her opponent, they explode, in the usual shower of blood and gore, scattering themselves everywhere. If it is purple, then they implode upon themselves, leaving nothing. Elmina made this tactic for those that could revive themselves after exploding, such as very strong Tzimisce,
