Shadow Storm

Slows time.

ConfirmedactiveNightCost unknown

Tree: Vampire
Type: Active ability
Phase: Night
Skill points: Unconfirmed
Training time: Unconfirmed
Prerequisites: None
Acquisition: Bought at a shrine, from this tree. A purchase costs up to two time chunks depending on the skill; which skills cost one and which cost two is not published. Some shrines need restoring before they can be used at all.

Effect

Slows the passage of time in combat. Note that this is combat time, not narrative time — nothing in the skill trees is reported to affect the thirty-day budget.

Corruption 0 → 8 → 11 → 14Each rank has its own threshold — rank 1 needs none, rank 2 at 8, rank 3 at 11, rank 4 at 14. Corruption rises by feeding, so the later ranks are paced by the night rather than by skill points.
Unlocked by drinking Vrakhiri bloodThis one is not bought. The ability opens once Coen has fed on the named blood, so it is a place to reach on the route rather than a cost to save points for.

Ranks

What each rank gives is not published for this node.

4 ranks. The training time each rank costs is unpublished, and it is charged separately from the points.

Synergy

vampirecontrol

Named in tree coverage and since seen in play in a developer-narrated walkthrough. Its position in the tree, its prerequisites and its point cost are still unpublished. Its Corruption requirement, rank by rank, comes from a September 2026 Vampirism skill table built against the retail release. Corruption rises only by feeding, so this gate is paced by the run rather than bought at a shrine.
