Innate, mystical or magical?
Most Disciplines are extensions of the vampire’s undead nature. They extend innate abilities, whether they be of the mind, body or soul. They are the traditional powers you would expect a vampire to have. Blood magic is seen as a learned abliity, instead of an innate power. It has certain identifying characteristics: multiple Paths with only five levels per path, the ability to invoke rituals, the potential for an unlimited number of rituals or paths, and the need for some form of occult knowledge. Then there is the middle ground, the mystic or mysical Disciplines. Like blood magic, they are closely linked to the mystic or traditional beliefs held by a culture. However, instead of taking the form of blood magic, they follow the traditional 10 levels of innate powers.
