The Stigmatica Discipline is associated with the Gethsemani bloodline, a heretical lineage of Nosferatu that are both adored as divine prophets and outcast as diabolical charlatans.
Stigmatica is a controversial discipline that causes people to exhibit the wounds that Christ suffered during the crucifixion. Depending on opinion, it could be seen as a miraculous portent of God, or as a demonic mockery of the travails of Jesus. Every power it contains, other than Devotions, fulfills the same purpose: temporarily increasing the Attributes of whoever drinks blood lost by a mortal subject.
This discipline is described in more detail in Bloodlines The Hidden.
