This was created by the Tremere in an attempt to duplicate some of the abilities of the Salubri, and has caused no small amount of furor in the clan, as it eases the learning of other Paths, but cannot be learned by those who follow the Path of Corruption or Dark Thaumaturgy. Also, a Vitam Thaumaturge cannot use this discipline on him/herself, only others. It has six levels.
* Apogony: Allows a player to ignore the effects of Wounded or Incapacitated.
** Curare: Healing health levels. The system is 1 blood point + 1 will point = 2 health levels. Both blood and will are from the Thaumaturge.
*** Pugare: Removes all foreign matter from the player's body. Includes splinters, bloodbonded objects, most diseases, and perhaps Vicissitude/Valauderie.
**** Neotrophae: Regeneration of lost limbs/organs, including the refilling of a character's blood pool. Regenerating a limb has some cost in blood for the patient.
***** Sanaurum: Cleans a character's aura. The effect is total, wiping a character's entire aura clean -- they appear as though new-born.
****** Sacra Vitam: The Thaumaturge can absorb the impact of a blow that hits another player, transferring the damage to him/herself.
