|amalgam=
|prereq=Thaumaturgical Forensics
|description=The thaumaturge uses his knowledge of magic and physiology to aid a body in its regenerative capacity. Even the most grievous wounds may heal more quickly if aided by this sorcerer’s art.
|cost=1 2 Rouse CheckChecks
|dicepool=Intelligence + Blood Sorcery
|system=Thaumaturgical Surgery uses the following system:
**Ingredients: Any straight level surface (preferably elevated like a table), bandages, surgery thread and needle.**Process: The biothaumaturge soaks the bandages, thread and needle in two Rouse Checks worth of her own blood and chants over them. When the blood is fully absorbed, she and the Ritual rolls have been successful, the needle blackens and the thread starts glowing a supernatural red. She then proceeds to do operate the operation patient without stopping the chant. Once finished, the thread will still glow faintly while the bandages will become nearly transparent on the body of the patient until fully healed which then withers away.**System: Each success allows the thaumaturge to "convert" one health level of damage from a mortal to a lesser type. Aggravated damage becomes Superficial, and Superficial becomes easily slept -off fatigue (and vanishes completely). The actual recovery times takes two weeks to finish for mortals. Kindred find that they recover from Aggravated Damage twice as fast without the need of a Rouse Checkfor free, healing a maximum of 2 points per day , limited to the successes of the roll. The blood used in this ritual retains its blood bonding properties.|duration=One Scene.

This bizarre path reputedly has its roots in the secret tomes of the inscrutable Black Hand. Over the past few years, its esoteric secrets have spread among certain cabals of Tremere, who regard it as curious mixture of Hermetic science and genetics. Biothaumaturgy concerns itself with the manipulation of life energies. In the laboratories of inspired Biothaumaturgy may be found strange creatures almost out of myth, veritable Frankenstein's monsters and less wholesome creations. Although it is not considered a "taboo" path, Biothaumaturgy is nonetheless strange and unsettling to those who observe its results.
