Tapestry (KOTE)

With the art of Tapestry, a Kuei-jin can manipulate the dragon lines that flow beneath the Middle Kingdom. Through practice of Tapestry, the vampire attunes himself to Yin and Yang forces in the wind, water, and soil, then manipulates those forces for a variety of efforts. Advanced Tapestry, like advanced Feng Shui, reflects a character's greater understanding of the dragon lines and other forces of Yin and Yang Chi in the world, as well as the character's more precise attunement to them.
