Editing Resonance (section)

===Changing Resonance===
Characters can change a victimâ€™s Resonance through roleplaying or through the various social systems of the game. If the character successfully scares, seduces, or drugs their victim, the Storyteller should shift the victimâ€™s Resonance to match. If a vampire seduces a scared victim, for example, the human gains the Sanguine (fleeting) temperament while their Melancholic Resonance is (temporarily) submerged. 

Intensifying a victimâ€™s Resonance follows a similar process to increase their temperament by one step (from fleeting to intense, or intense to acute) on a successful social test or following a cool role-playing scene. Once a victim acutely feels a Resonance, a properly callous vampire can begin the long process of manipulating them into a Dyscrasia. A love affair with a mortal lasting for months or years may lead to them developing an appropriately Sanguine clot; keeping a victim locked up for months to endure repeated waterboarding or brainwashing could develop a Melancholic or Choleric Dyscrasia, depending on the precise sequence and nature of the confinement. 

Such long-term grooming and abuse of victims is not a scientific process, and likely incurs plenty of Stains. Chronicle Tenets more likely forbid torture, but some may excuse themselves for seducing a mortal into a Sanguine-farming love affair. Humane vampires find it all distasteful; itâ€™s up to the Storyteller to determine what works and how much Dyscrasia farming damages a Kindredâ€™s Humanity.
