The vaulderie can break a blood bond, whereas the blood bond cannot do the same to Vinculum so the vaulderie seems more potent.Abandon the Fetters specifically states it cannot be used to break the vinculum of vaulderie or the transubstantiation of the seven, making it seem as if a more powerful ritual is needed.I don't know if I would drop it down to five, maybe six, my reasoning is threeold Of course, there's already a ritual by the same name in Rites of the Blood that does something completely different.Yeah you would have to rename it or the one in Rites of Blood (or not, sometimes things end up with the same name). Dropping it to Level 5 would bring it into line with the Camarilla blood bond equivalent and open it up to any inquisitor past or present with enough dedication and time to study the mystic arts. I wonder about making it such a high-level ritual, since the Sabbat Inquisition is a small group and it's unlikely that more than one member (if that) would have the low generation and Thaumaturgical expertise to manage the feat. The only thing it cannot cure is a Malkavian's clan derangement (though even this may be temporarily subdued). The effect of the Touch is permanent (though new mind-influencing powers can be inflicted). The target immediately regains all temporary Willpower and for the next week, she has one additional die to all mental dice pools. Touch of the Saints then washes away any and all derangements and anything else influencing the target's mind at that time: the blood oath, Dominate commands, Presence-induced emotions, drugs - any and every outside influence is gone. In order to use this power, the Malkavian places her hand upon the face of the target, and the player spends a point of Willpower.

Because of this noble history, it is seen as the greatest gift a Malkavian Methuselah can bestow upon anyone. The ancients of Clan Malkavian know the truth Touch of Saints was an application of Dementation that Malkav himself learned while studying with his brother Saulot, who often soothed Malkav's pains. This power grants the target total clarity of mind, freed from all derangements and compulsions. Those few who have heard of this power are baffled by it, for it seems totally at odds with Dementation. If you use the story idea that the Tzimisce Antedilvian didnt get diablerized, it played Lugoj and the others and broke the blood bonds so that it could easily sow the seeds of itself in its childer, and the Vaulderie was designed to spread its malign influence to the rest of the Sabbat.ДЄbandon the Fetters (the Level 5 Thaumaturgy Ritual that can break a blood bond) is also in Clanbook Tremere Revised pg 65, and I believe that was its first appearance. The Vaulderie can break blood bonds but requires multiple drinks of Vaulderie and the vampire must nearly starve themselves (described in V20 pg 289-290). The Vaulderie was derived from that original oath shattering ritual, and provided stability and group cohesion to Sabbat packs. I was referring to the Vaulderie when I said 'the same process that Lugoj and Velya developed'.Дoes anyone know if this mention in Rites of the Blood is the first canonical reference to the Tremere having their own method for breaking the Bond?Lugoj and Velya developed their ritual using the methuselah Lambach's blood and performed it on Kupala's Eve during a meeting of the clan's elders and the effect destroyed all blood bonds over all Tzimisce, and as far as I know there are no proper mechanics for how the ritual worked.
