Obtenebration (VTM)

Obtenebration is a Discipline that allows the Vampire to call forth powers from darkness. Its first ability is appropriately named Shadow Play since that is much of what this discipline is about. This Discipline is inherent in the Lasombra clan and is said to come from an Entity, more powerful than God and contained only by the sun. The abilities of Obtenebration are feared by mortals and animals.

The clan Lasombra is the only to possess the natural affinities for this Discipline. Caitiffs are also given the option of taking this as a Discipline, although most Storyteller's look down upon the clan exclusive disciplines as a choice.
