Earth/Fire/Air/Water/Aether - Elementals
Things in nature which can be called upon by Carpathian and Vampire alike to show force, cover them in daylight, protect their lairs, or to prevent an enemy in battle from gaining the upper hand. Usually called upon displays are violent storms, lightening, fog, and earthquakes.


Projection
The ability of Carpathians in general to leave their bodies and travel, psychically, to observe events, ascertain the power of enemies, or to protect innocent individuals. Not usually practicable during the day, but certain high powered Carpathians have gained this ability as well. Also used during healing rituals to enter an injured body and heal from within.


Feeding
The traditional terminology for taking of blood from human and other sources for the sustenance of the Carpathian species. Traditionally it does include some psychic compulsion but for the Carpathian does not include the death of the being which provided the sustenance. Also can be used to signify the ability of Carpathians to sustain one another during times of great need.


Claiming
The traditional process by which a Carpathian female is united with a Carpathian male. It traditionally involves the female reaching age 18, interacting with eligible males, finding that chemical connection, exchanging blood, the male voicing the ritual words and sexual intercourse. It can be used by Carpathian males to unite with psychic human women as well.


Leopard/Panther
Alternate shapeshifted form of a Carpathian preferred by a group of Carpathians who escaped death at the hands of marauding humans. Developed by the group without instruction from adult Carpathians.
