Luna's Embrace
This power was developed by a Malkavian with a capricious streak. He was interested in giving others, whether mortal or undead, not just a taste of Malkav's divine lunacy but a full draught of his own particular brand. By employing this ability, a Malkavian can manipulate the subject's mind so that it mirrors his own. The target's very personality is warped into a copy of the vampire's, including any Derangements and related mental problems the Cainite possesses. While the victim gains none of the Malkavian's knowledge or powers, she subconsciously warps the shared personality to best use, and warps those powers that she does possess to reflect her tormentor. The effects cause the target to echo the vampire's nature but do not bestow any sort of control over the subject. Malkavians find this power maliciously entertaining, though some find it enlightening to see their demented antics displayed by others.
System: Before using this power, the Cainite must establish eye contact with the subject. The player then uses the Malkavian's Charisma + Subterfuge in a resisted roll against the target's Intelligence + Self-Control/Instincts (the difficulty for both is 6). The shared personality lasts for one night to a full year, depending on the number of successes.
