'''Domain Power: ''' Soul Departure: The passing of nearby mortal souls invigorates you, granting a Soul Charge (up to three maximum) until the following midnight at which time all unspent charges are lost. A Soul Charge may be expended as a Fast Action to either gain 1 Health or 2 Mana. If a Soul Charge is activated within a Hallow, the caster gains both of the benefits per expended charge.  
* All powers on this page are spitballed at the moment, attempting to convey a thematic. They are all in need of balancing, and/or conversion to something else along these thematic lines.
* The domain power thematic intent is that the player will choose whether to displace a part of themselves into the Spirit Realm or not, depending on the circumstance, since there is an advantage and a disadvantage on each side. Functions as a full round action to prevent 'hot swapping' mid-turn.
* Touch of Death line is intended to have the thematic of the life draining reaper, an offensive line of walking through the realm delivering death at will
* Voice of Death line is intended to have the thematic of vocal control over and interaction with spirits of the dead, both spirits and spirits inhabiting revenants
* Visage of Death line is intended to have the thematic of observing death and becoming the visage of it.
* some of these abilities are probably in the wrong rank, open to changes across the board, but i like the thematic enough to want to play it :)
 
'''Domain Power: ''' Spirit Walker - Partially displace yourself into the Spirit Realm, gaining a +1/+2/+3 Physical and Magic Damage Reduction, at the cost of a +1/+2/+3 penalty to physical attack rolls. This effect may be canceled or resumed as a full round action. Additionally, gain +1/+2/+3 to Diplomacy rolls vs Spirits.

Move to Dreams: <br>
Detatch your spirit from your body as a manifested Ghost Spirit. Your base health, resistance, and speed are replaced with the base health, resistance, and speed of a Ghost Spirit. Attributes and benefits are added to that value normally. Other Ghost Spirit special qualities are gained. You retain all abilities, however may not carry any substantially heavy physical objects with you. A few light objects are permitted, which will also become ghost-like, your Storyteller will determine what is allowed and exactly what this effect has on unique equipment.  While you are manifested your body is paralyzed and can not move and you have no awareness of what is around your body. Damage dealt to your body is still dealt to you. Any damage taken when manifested that is not healed is applied as non-lethal when you return to your body, with excess beyond available Vigor spilling over as lethal normally. Death while manifested is still death.
