Madness Rhythms
Malkavian Madness Network Every Malkavian is connected in their madness. That’s not just some kind of fanciful poetry to make them sound more united, but rather it is a true fact. There is a place of existence layered over the material one that connects every Malkavian with thin threads. These threads wrap and entangle the Malkvian within its Loom like structure. Where this realm comes from nobody knows. It is still debated whether or not such a thing even exists or if it is just the shared hallucination of the Malkavian Clan.

Madness Rhythms
Madness rhythms are a special type of power that only Malkavians can learn. Attempts to teach them to other clans have failed and usually drive the subject mad. A Malkavian still requires a teacher for a Madness rhythm unless she develops it herself.
Let the Madness Flow
You spread your Madness into your works of art. A kindred with Rythmn adds a tag chosen at random for any weapon or armor they create. ( Staff will add the tag between sessions.) When creating equipment Staff with roll a D10 between sessions. A 10 will cause it to provide one additional trait. A 1 will cause it to provide one less trait. This power cannot be turned off.
