Nightmare & Celerity

Name Prerequisites
Freeze Bones Swiftness & Mortal Fear
Hint of Fear Swiftness & Dread
Shivers Swiftness & Dread

Freeze Bones

Requirements: Swiftness & Mortal Fear

By touching your victim, you cause them to feel the terrible creeping cold of the grave, turning their skin cloudy or blue, locking their joints from the brittle cold, and even forming icicles on their extremities. They do not suffer any actual damage, but they are unable to move for several minutes while they attempt to thaw out, and they cannot use disciplines during this time as their blood is literally frozen almost solid.

Hint of Fear

Requirements: Swiftness & Dread

You no longer need to attempt to frighten others; when anyone attacks or attempts to attack you, they are automatically afflicted by the Dread power, causing them to at the very least be startled and pause. While very hardy enemies may come back for more anyway, many who are not fully committed to the task may just rethink attacking you completely in favor of fleeing into the night.

Shivers

Requirements: Swiftness & Dread

You may inflict horrible, body-wracking shivers on a person with a simple touch, causing them to be unable to do or say anything coherent while their teeth chatter, their joints snap, and their body shakes as if frozen by mortal cold or caught in the grip of a powerful anxiety. They are still aware and may still use disciplines, but cannot make any physical actions or speak out loud for several minutes.

Nightmare & Dominate

Name Prerequisites
Aversion Curse Rationalize & Dread
Rumor of Dread The Forgetful Mind & Dread

Aversion Curse

Requirements: Rationalize & Dread

You may inflict a specific phobia on your victim by making eye contact, causing them to suddenly feel overwhelming terror at the prospect of encountering it and utter panic if it confronts them. This phobia may be attached to anything reasonable, although most vampires simply use it to instill fear of themselves as an expedient way of getting rid of people.

Rumor of Dread

Requirements: The Forgetful Mind & Dread

By whispering a fearful rumor in one or two peoples' ears, you can cause an anxiety to sweep through an entire crowd, making everyone afraid of your suggestion. Whether it's a suggestion that the building is unsafe and liable to collapse on everyone or a fear that a new infectious plague is among them, everyone believes it for at least the rest of the night, and is likely to spread it even beyond your normal area of effect.

Nightmare & Fortitude

Name Prerequisites
Dauntless Spirit Unswayable Mind & Monstrous Countenance
Sun's Brutal Dreamscape Mettle & Mortal Fear

Dauntless Spirit

Requirements: Unswayable Mind & Monstrous Countenance

You are much more difficult to affect with the powers of Nightmare; any that you have yourself simply do not work on you unless used by someone more powerful than you are, and the effects of higher levels are lessened slightly (although still very uncomfortable to live through).

Sun's Brutal Dreamscape

Requirements: Mettle & Mortal Fear

The greatest fear of most vampires is the sun itself, and with this power you can briefly survive it, albeit at a terrible price. If you suffer damage from sunlight, you may use this power to transfer that damage to another vampire that you personally know, causing them to wake shrieking from their daylight sleep as their flesh boils. This power can only be used once per night, and it cannot automatically kill the vampire that you transfer your pain to, who falls into torpor if they sustain too much injury from it. While this power can certainly be used for torture and attempted assassination, it is very dangerous to do so - once you've used it once for the night, you must find cover or meet the same fate as the sunlight begins to burn into you.

Learn Bane

Requirements: Sense the Beast, Aura Perception, & Face of the Beast

You may reach into the depths of the Beast's mind by looking into someone's eyes, learning their greatest fears and the dangers that keep them awake at night. You automatically learn their clan disadvantage (which may also tell you their clan, if you recognize it) and any fear-based derangements, as well as their greatest personal fear (although not the context to know why they are afraid of it or what they have experienced before).
