Tezcatl

Tezcatl, named for the Nahuatl word for "mirror," is a discipline that splits the Man and the Beast into two divided entities, allowing for, on one hand, a greater degree of control, but at the expense of occasionally indulging the Beast. It is the focus of the Nahualli bloodline of the Ventrue, and contributes to their image as madmen with split personalities, uncannily similar to the classic story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Full descriptions of this discipline and its effects can be found in Bloodlines: The Hidden
This discipline is fairly peculiar in that it only has four levels; this is attributed to the fact that the founder of the bloodline died before completing the discipline. A player who learns Tezcatl may take it upon himself to complete the discipline, but not without great difficulty and Storyteller approval.
====• Conciliation====
Mutes the Beast enough that, when encountering another Kindred, neither the user nor the target is affected by the Predator's Taint.
====•• Life's Reflection====
Manifests the blush of life, and, not only that, but the Nahualli appears significantly more human than most vampires would in their attempt to counterfeit life.
====••• Focus the Aspect====
Nudges the emotions of another in a certain direction, causing one emotion to rise above others, and become their main driving force for a time.
====•••• The Smoking Mirror====
The Jekyll fully manifests his dark nature, throwing himself deep into a controlled rage frenzy that can last for much longer than an average frenzy.
