The blood matrix can be used to fuel very powerful elder forms of magic. The price is blood. The existence of these magicks are why the Brelasean bloodline is so affluent among the vampire court. The caster of the danse macabre forces the souls collected to go through the blood matrix, employing the elder magic to also draw in the souls of their ancestral blood relatives as well, conjuring up a mighty host of ghosts. The ghosts manifest themselves as how their physical remains are. The ones without physical remains come as ghostly memories. All in all, this elder magic conjures a mighty host of the dead, their forms a multitude of skeletons, rotted corpses, heaps of severed limbs and ghosts mutilated beyond recognition. And they all are maddened to be drawn to this realm, equals in death. They can quickly overwhelm an unprepared mind, causing it to believe them to be real. Injuries inflicted by the host scar the mind, and it is not uncommon for the victims' minds to collapse under the stress, shutting down some of their body functions, such as those of some inner organ. While the ghosts cannot directly influence the physical world, the elder magic makes it possible for their supernatural screams to be heard. It is not uncommon for banshees to appear among the host, and it is their existence of suffering that causes them to lash out in grief and envy, often with disastrous results. As such, danse macabre deals either psionic or sonic damage, depending on which is more damaging to the victims.
