Daimoinon
These are the mysteries of the Baali, black arts torn from the sorcerer-kings of ancient cultures and prehistoric civilizations, incoherent memories passed from tome to tongue, hearkening to times of the distant past. While the Kindred is not a demon by making pacts with hell he can replicate the powers of the fallen y using his own vitae. Practitioners of Daimoinon ALWAYS have a link to the infernal.

Daimonion channels the powers of the pit. Whereas the lower levels do so subtly, Flames of the Inferno is anything but subtle. With Flames, the Kindred pulls the fires of hell into being and hurls the sickly ebon flame at his enemies. The power deals two Aggravated damage, though the kindred can spend an additional occult retest to increase the damage to three.

The Kindred turns his word into a cutting scalpel that demeans and cows the stoutest of men. With a few words, the kindred can cause a target to lose one willpower. There is no test.
⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫ Demonic Investiture
Challenge: None Cost: None Duration: Permanent
At this level of power, the Baali blurs the line between demon and kindred. His demonic vitae warps and twists his body. Baali who fail to control the power inherent in their blood are overcome by it, their mind and body become lost to hell and the kindred is no more than a puppet. For those Baali who are strong of will learning this level of Daimoinon allows the kindred to add a demonic feature to his body. There are five possibilities. A kindred with Daimoinon can learn it multiple times, each time gaining a different boon.
Fire immunity: The Baali becomes immune to fire and gains an unnatural sheen to his skin. In addition, his aura becomes dimmer than even a normal kindred.
Wings of the Pit: With a thought, the Baali can grow leathery red or black wings from his back. This mirrors Flight 3 (the gargoyle discipline.)
Liars Tongue: The Demon gains +2 socials permanently. This counts as natural and thus also raises their Trait Max.
Unholy Communion: The Baali forges a direct telepathic link to a duke of hell. He gains Contacts 3 and Mentor 3 with the chosen Duke. The Duke counts as a trainer for all thaumaturgies.
Focused Beast: The Baali chooses a single type of frenzy and from then on that is the only type of frenzy he is subject to. Whenever he fails any frenzy check he initiates that type of frenzy.
