The average human body is over 60% water and contains 5 liters of blood, making it reliant on the flow of liquids in order to maintain its function. Like the unrelenting sun, you have the power to extract the moisture from your target’s body, leaving her weathered and debilitated. This process accelerates through reverse osmosis; but draining a target of moisture becomes difficult once moisture becomes scarce.
System
Spend 1 point of Blood and your standard action to make an opposed challenge using your Mental attribute + Occult skill versus the target’s Physical attribute + Dodge skill, targeting a character within your line of sight. If you succeed, your target’s blood evaporates from her body and disappears. She is affected as follows:
If your target is a living creature, she loses health levels in addition to points of Blood. Wraiths, certain types of spirits, and other creatures that do not have liquid anatomical components are unaffected by this power, subject to the Storyteller’s discretion.
Exceptional success
