Blood Gift of Korpulessence

The Blood Gift of Korpulessence is one of the most dreaded abilities within the vampire world. Those who master it are able to sculpt flesh and bone as if it were clay, to reshape their own forms, and the forms of others. The first wielder of the Blood Gift, the Firstborn Kali, is said to have made pacts with the powers of Hell, unbeknownst to her sire, in order to gain access to the dreaded power. As a result, the abilities it gives access to are remarkably similar to the Demonic Scourge of Desecration.

## Mechanics

Korpulessence enables a skilled practicing vampire who wields it to with their hands reshape the bodies of living beings as if they were clay. This extends only to creatures with blood flowing through their veins; plants are exempt, as are incorporeal beings. Normally, the process itself of reshaping a body is not painful for the subject, only extremely disorienting and strange. However, the flesh shaper has the capability to reshape a body in a manner so that any unfortunate subject will be forced to live in an ungainly or painful state.

Without supernatural means, it is impossible to undo the changes wrought by use of Korpulessence, except through additional use of the Blood Gift. In terms of the supernatural mages skilled in the Animate Purview can easily restore a twisted visage. Werecreatures have an extreme resistance to having their bodies warped, and require extensive work and extreme mastery of Korpulessence to overcome the powerful natural healing abilities which fight to restore their shape. Additionally, if they change forms, the deformities forced upon them will only exist in the form they were originally inflicted upon. For other vampires, those whose blood is more potent of the Korpulessence wielder who altered them are able to will their forms back into shape. Those whose blood is less impressive have a more difficult road ahead of them.

Generally speaking, the use of Korpulessence requires direct skin to skin contact with whatever is being shaped. Additionally, if one is trying to add more mass to a creature, they must have a supply of bodily materials to attach to them. These limitations can be overcome by extremely advanced applications of the Blood Gift.

## Powers

### New Blood Gifts (Levels 1-2)

* Craft Flesh (Level 1): The most basic ability of Korpulessence is the power to Craft Flesh. Using the ability, it is possible to reshape the outward physical features of someone's body, altering their facial structure, changing their hair or skin color and texture, adding or removing scars, or any other outwards cosmetic alterations. Crafting Flesh cannot penetrate much below the skin, and cannot make alterations to muscles, fat, or bone content.

* Rend Form (Level 1): An extremely useful power for combat, the ability to Part Flesh allows Korpulessence wielders to strike through and tear off pieces of tissue from the bodies of their foe with ease. This means that even though they might not possess the physical strength to punch a hole through someone's chest, they might still do it, as the flesh and bone they strike at simply splits beneath their fist. Using this power, the Korpulessence wielder can pull off limbs or crush skulls. It should be noted that while this power is useful for inflicting harm and damaging any part of the body, actually shaping structures such as bone and muscle require more advanced abilities. Additionally, the more supernaturally resilient an organism is, the more resistant they are to this power, requiring higher levels of physical strength or greater Korpulessence mastery to Rend them effectively.

* Mold Form (Level 2):
