Contamination is a class of Transmutations and is practiced by those who follow or once followed the Cobalus Refinement. It is used to detect and manipulate the physical and spiritual impurities in a being.

[edit] Transmutation Abilities

• Detect Impurity - A Cathar can find a target's Vice.
• Stress Cracks - A Cathar can set a target's emotions on edge.
• Confession - A leading question causes a target to blurt out an answer, no matter how secret they wish it to be.
• Drain Emotions - A Cathar drains negative emotions from a target to gain strength.
• Fever Dreams - Similar to the Pandoran ability, a Cathar can cause hallucinations without immeditately losing Humanity.
• Guilt Trip - A Cathar touches a target and learns their innermost secret.
• Remove Inhibitions - By transfering their own impurities with a touch, a target will act on their desires.
• Transfer Torment - A Cathar can pass their Torment on to another, including other supernaturals.
• Eyes of Madness - A Cathar can temporarily inflict a derangement onto a target.
