Using the mechanics of Amalgam Powers, a number of distinct Disciplines from the previous versions of Vampire: The Masquerade have been merged into Fifth Edition's base disciplines as part of the process to streamline how the game functions. They are often used to create specific powers mainly associated to one clan or cult, and in some cases they entirely replace disciplines from previous editions that were discontinued in V5.
Amalgams are discipline powers that require a specific level of proficiency in an additional discipline in order to be learned.
