Foundations to give a wiki page and link into things:

• “Stiftung zur Förderung eines jugendlichen Blutfluss”, Eng.: Foundation for the promotion of a youthful flow of blood

Discipline to analyse and rework:

• Tapestry (Kindred of the East, p102)
  • Specifiek Chi-Shaping's 2 successes power
• Also look at Equilibrium (Kindred of the East, p101)

Rough sketch of Yin Yang Discipine, Mk2 (feels more like a fusion between Kuei-Jin and Kindred mythics):

• Gives a Yin and Yang pool that is always (Rating × 2)
• Each Level of the discipline has a yin and yang variant
  • Activating a yin/yang this power converts (Level) motes to yin/yang
  • These powers must have effects on the world, or at least be unspammable
• Maintaining the balance is relevant, as powers can only be used if there are motes to be converted
• Separate rituals/katas can be “learned”/discovered that also use yin/yang motes, these can be things like protective tattoos
  • Note that one can use a Yin 2 ritual based on a Rating 1 discipline by wilfully unbalancing oneself towards absolute Yin (converting all 2 motes to Yin), and then attempting the ritual

• The unbalance of the Yin/Yang pool should have effects on the character, accessing the balance of the universe gives great power, but comes at a price
  • Greater unbalance should have greater effects, possibly a negative effect per Rating of the discipline? (i.e. you can go at most 2 out of balance on Rating 1, so you need to have a 2-out-of-balance effect, a 4-out-of-balance effect, and they stack)

• “Learning” and discovering of rituals is not based on studying or methodological investigation, it is instead based on flashes of insight
  • → Investigate Kuei-Jin flashes of insight thing

Elemental affiliations (See also Yin and yang):

• Yin (female): Earth, Water
• Yang (male): Fire, Air

Affiliations:

• Yin: Matter, Dark, Death, Attack
• Yang: Energy, Light, Life, Defense

Inspirations:

• Elemental energy redirection?
• Short-range teleport, as a shade throught the spirit-world
• Look at spirit-world interaction
• Protective tattoos? (see Psionic Tattoos)
• Maybe some rituals need you to control your breathing (which, obviously, first requires you to actually be breathing)

The Imbalance of your pool is the difference between Yin and Yang amounts.

Being out of balance has an effect on your spiritual well-being. You are out of balance when your Chi Balance has at least (Rating + 2) of a single color:

• When out of balance with Yin dominant, your Courage is temporarily reduced by 1,
• When out of balance with Yang dominant, your Self Control is temporarily reduced by 1

Multiple powers are noted here for later refinment. Notes are placed in emphasis.

Rating ●○○○○: When taking a Soak roll, you can convert X Yang in your balance to Yin, gaining X additional dice on your soak roll. When taking a Damage roll, you can convert X Yin in your balance to yang, gaining X additional dice on your damage roll. Limits can be placed where appropriate based on, e.g., discipline rating, generation based vitae limits, or simple constant.

Rating ●●○○○: Once per the kindred can roll (Wits+Occult) against a difficult of (10 - Imbalance). Each success allows you to convert a mote towards a more balanced chi pool. Excess successes when balanced is achieved have no effect. A Botch means that you go out of balance even further: convert one minorty mote to the majority color, if you are fully out of balance you take 1 unsoakable health level of bashing damage.

Rating ●●●○○|●●●●○ Teleport, Yin or Yang conversion is based on the “direction” of the movement. The direction is either In or Out, depending on whether you enter or leave a building. Going from one room to another is In, and going from an outside location to an outside location is Out. Distance, vitae cost, amount of motes variable? (Compare with Tremere powers?)

Rating ?: Luck influencing: spend vitae and convert Chi to force the outcome of a chance action (flip a coin, draw a card, slot machine, hand of poker, roulette number, etc.).
