Description

Used to unlock and infuse your vampire with passive powers.

</aside>

“

Innate magical power stirs within you, only ancient magic can awaken it.

”

Knowledge of passive abilities is shared between all vampires in a clan. Vampires not in the clan may also steal knowledge by interacting with the Altar, similar to Research Desk.

Changed in Update 1.1 to be limited to 5 passives active at once, unlocked via Passive Slots from the following V Blood Carriers:

Each use of Discover unlocks a random passive to be equipped from the Passive Abilities tab of the Spellbook.
Passives can also be unlocked directly using the corresponding Elemental Awakening Scroll or Vampire Awakening Scroll, dropped by Rift Incursion V Blood Carriers. <table-progress-tracking table-id="exclusion2" exclude-row-indexes="13" unique-column-index="1">
