Dementation
The twisted psyches of Clan Malkavian house a passion and insight unmatched among the other lines of Cainites. Through their bizarre powers of Dementation, the Malkavians spread their madness, catalysing insanity among mortal and vampire alike.
The Malkavians do not consider the secrets of Dementation "proprietary", indeed, many seem almost eager to spread them. Curiously, other Cainite students of this Discipline need not be insane to use its powers. The Discipline does not seem to spread insanity, but rather, unlocks the doors of the psyche, exciting the madness that festers in every mind.
Some Lunatics do not use Dementation consciously. These few instead catalyse the passions of their victims; such advisors and seers spread their insight to unsuspecting vampires, who in turn find themselves spiralling slowly out of control. Other Malkavians recognise, categorise and use the powers of Dementation like the other regimented Disciplines. Strangely, the most stable and sane-appearing Lunatics are typically the ones who exert their Dementation with the least awareness.
Dementation powers use the Empathy Ability for Retests.
