Through a careful understanding of Kindred psychology
and physiology, an Agoniste can exert some control
over the speed of Blood Potency loss in torpor. While
easing a vampire into torpor, the Agoniste works the
Soma in a long, carefully constructed ritual, winding
the subject in a prepared funeral shroud and intoning a
complex chant. The entire ritual takes more than four
hours to complete, and cannot be interrupted once it
has begun.
