Revision as of 06:31, 6 January 2013
Name: | Dementation |
Symbol: | Dementation |
Pronunciation: | |
Clans: | Malkavians |
Dementation is a Discipline widely known as the hallmark of the Malkavians. It draws on the vampire's own insanity and uses it achieve profound insights or inflict madness upon others. Such powers are one of the primary reasons the clan is often considered both insightful and very dangerous. It also seems to grant a more powerful link to the Madness Network (though a non-Malkavian who learns Dementation cannot access it), and many have suspicions about its connection to the Malkavian Antediluvian.
Revisions
In Vampire: The Dark Ages and Dark Ages: Vampire all Malkavians have Dementation as an in-clan Discipline, though in early editions of Vampire: The Masquerade it was only available to antitribu while Camarilla members had Dominate instead. In the metaplot this division was caused by six Methuselahs who "blocked" the Discipline from the minds of Camarilla Malkavians to make the clan more palatable to the nascent sect. In Revised Edition, Dementation is returned to all Malkavians in an effort by the antitribu to spread the "infection" in an event known as "the Great Prank". [1]
In Dark Ages: Vampire anyone who learns Dementation also gains a permanent derangement if they do not already have one.
