The vampiric art of '''Corpus''' reflects one's mastery over the body. Within this discipline, a vampire learns to hone their predatory senses to incredible sharpness, improve their speed and reflexes to supernatural proportions, make their body resilient against all manner of damage as well as learn uncanny abilities in deception and stealth, among other things. For a vampire, Corpus embodies the art of physical combat. A vampire that has fully developed this skill is a terror to behold and you would do well to run in fear when faced with one who has mastered this art.
