•• Inflict the Empty Soul
This power allows an Anvari to instantly strip himself or another of the effects of a narcotic substance. It is most often used as a punishment for a disobedient vessel than to cleanse the Anvari himself (few members of the bloodline willingly give up the euphoria of opium once they’re in its thrall). In an emergency, however, the power does allow a vampire to return to his senses quickly. Recently, some Kindred have found it useful for hiding overdose deaths from forensic scientists by using it immediately after a user passes.
The Anvari must be able to see the subject with the naked eye to use this power. The vampire does not need to be able to see himself to apply it to himself. Note that this power eliminates the effects of drugs in a subject in the moment. It doesn’t alleviate him of drug addiction, or eliminate the effects of drugs taken in the future.

Effect
Dramatic Failure: The vampire’s attempt fails and the subject is immune to any other uses of the vampire’s Nepenthe until the next sunset. If a dramatic failure is rolled for the subject, the Anvari is considered to get an exceptional success.
Failure: An equal number or the most successes are rolled for the subject and he remains affected by the drug. Successive attempts might be made at the expense of more Vitae.
Success: The most successes are rolled for the Anvari and the subject is instantly cleansed of all traces and effects of narcotics.
Exceptional Success: The most successes — five or more — are rolled for the vampire and the subject suffers the effects of a success. Any efforts on the subject’s part to resist the effects of toxins or drugs are also at a +1 bonus until the next sunset.
