# Blood Resonance

Certain diciplines can be enhanced by a kindred should they choose feed themselves with the appropriate type of blood of a sufficient quality. Note that quality is subjective based on the type of blood resonance you are trying to acheive, for example spending a large amount of time seducing and then having sex with prey and feeding on them at the same time has a good chance activating sanguine blood resonance and therefore providing you benefits for the disciplines associated with sanguine blood resonance.

The various intesities of resonance come in *temperaments*, which can be well-balanced, fleeting, intense, or acute. An acute resonance is self-sustaining, an effect called "Dyscrasia" adopted from Hippocrates:

- *Well-balanced* temperament brings no closer advantages.
- *Fleeting* temperament brings no direct advantages, but can be used for Thin-Blood Alchemy
- *Intense* temperament increases a Discipline corresponding to the resonance type.
- *Acute* temperament has the same effect as intense but gives the drinker additional bonuses.
