However, newcomers might want to stick with something more thematic. More advanced players can play around with Blood Sorcery with more efficiency. Visit raves and explore the secret underground caverns of Downtown to seedy hotels and exclusive mansions on Hollywood’s infamous Sunset Strip. Traverse the dark world of modern-day Los Angeles in Troika’s swan song, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. Unfortunately, while playing a Blood Sorcerer has its appeal, new players might find Blood Sorcery's Vitae control and Rituals a bit too specific and complex. A lone voice spares you from the Final Death and you become a pawn in the Prince’s plans. In turn, Blood Sorcerers can use the power of Vitae itself to conjure mystical effects beyond comprehension - from manipulating its properties (change properties, boil) or access Rituals with various effects. Interestingly, V5's Blood Sorcery also has multiple branches unique to certain Clans, from Mortis (Cappadocian) to Abyss Mysticism (Lasombra). After all, unlike other Clans, Tremere of ages past used magic to 'transform' into Kindred - making them distrusted, fear, and amongst the most powerful in the Camarilla. Previously known as Thaumaturgy, V5's Blood Sorcery remains the hallmark Discipline of the mysterious Tremere.
