| Long forgotten by even the most
powerful Toreador Methuselahs, this discipline is believed by some to be
the clan's greatest asset. Glitterism involves the manipulation of light,
an art in itself. Buried beneath the centuries, it has at last been rediscovered.
Could this perhaps be the dawning of a new renaissance?
BASIC
LEVEL 1 Light
Play
You can color light or create several
light effects, similar to those that can be accomplished with complex lighting
equipment. You can also cause nearly anything (including auras, creatures,
and ethereal objects or beings) to sparkle as if dusted with glitter.
LEVEL 2 Rays
of the Flame
You can brighten even the darkest
of crypts, making the use of any action or discipline requiring shadows
impossible (and harming Setites). You can also brighten an area to the
degree that anyone present who is using Auspex 1 is temporarily blinded.
INTERMEDIATE
LEVEL 3 Fountain
of Light
A fan-shaped spray of extremely
bright, rainbow-colored light leaps forth from your fingertips. Only creatures
within 50 feet are affected. Anyone in line of sight is affected as if
by Glitterism 2. Mortals within range of the spray are stunned or even
knocked unconscious. Vampires, Fae, or werebeasts are only stunned.
LEVEL 4 Glow
of Madness
You cause lights to flicker in
bizarre and intricate patterns, causing a victim to go temporarily insane.
ADVANCED
LEVEL 5 Midnight
SunA brilliant glow, in the color of your
choice, surrounds you. Within the range of 100 feet, all vampires suffer
as if from filtered sunlight. To use this power, you must automatically
take one health level of aggravated damage.
LEVEL 6 Form
of Light
You become a spark of light, easily
mistaken for a firefly or speck of glitter. You are not hindered by physical
barriers that are not completely opaque. You cannot be harmed while in
this state, but all of your senses function normally. You cannot speak,
feed, or attack while in this form. You can also move at the speed of light,
if you choose to do so. You are still subject to damage from sunlight and
fire and cannot make use of your disciplines, except to revert to your
natural form.
LEVEL 7 True
Light
This power can be used upon a torch,
candle, flashlight, or any other non-celestial light source. No Obfuscate,
Chimerstry, or any power used to hide or disguise the appearance of an
object can be used in the light cast by the enchanted light source.
LEVEL 8 No
Powers of this level currently known or have been discovered.
LEVEL 9 No
Powers of this level currently known or have been discovered.
LEVEL 10 No
Powers of this level currently known or have been discovered.
Author's Notes:
I f a Toreador teaches Glitterism to anybody else, her guild will hunt her down and bring about final death (probably) or stake her (if she's lucky). Well, I suppose if the Toreador Primogen of the city says it's okay, it is. Only vampires with humanity of seven or higher can use this discipline without penalty. The penalty is one additional blood point has to be spent for every point below seven the character's humanity. For humanity below five, use of this discipline is impossible. In addition, Sabbat vampires (of any clan) and Setites (except for Serpents of the Light) cannot ever learn this discipline. Diabolists can't use it either. I know these are tight restrictions, but this is a very powerful discipline. And it's worth it.
