Minimum Shadow Potency 1
The Strix can use Kindred Disciplines when embodied in vampiric hosts, and some Strix become practiced enough at the strangely physical uses of Vitae that they retain the ability even after leaving the host behind. Each Dread Power slot devoted to Kindred Disciplines provides the Strix’s Shadow Potency in Discipline dots, which the Strix can spread among any Disciplines it has encountered. The Strix may even give up dots to instead gain three Experiences’ worth of Devotions per dot.
The Strix can’t use Theban Sorcery, but they can use this Dread Power to learn Crúac. Additional rites after those gained by dots in the Discipline cost one dot of “Discipline” for two dots of rites. However, Crúac still requires blood for all Vitae expenditure after the initial point of Vitae to activate the Discipline (see p. 151) — the Strix can only use it when in a revenant or Kindred host, or by murdering ghoul or vampire captives for their blood.
This power may be bought multiple times.
