In the context of White Wolf Game Studio's ''Vampire: The Masquerade'' books and role-playing games, diablerie takes place when a vampire drinks not only all the blood of another vampire but also his soul, generally in order to increase his/her own powers. The strength of vampirical powers is often correlated with the vampire's generation, i. e. the generational distance between the original vampire Caine and the vampire, where Caine was the first generation, his childe (vampire)r were the second, etc. (in ''The Masquerade'', the default generation for starting characters is the 13th). On each successive generation these powers become more and more diluted. By committing diablerie, a vampire can absorb those purer powers from a vampire of an earlier generation, effectively decreasing his/her own generation (the victim, of course, experiences the final death in the process). Diablerie is explicitly forbidden by the vampiric tradition and is considered a crime by the Camarilla, but it is a fairly common practice in the Sabbat (White Wolf). In the past, the Assamite clan devoted its energies to diablerie in order to gain power, until the Tremere placed a magic curse on them, by virtue of which Assamites became physically harmed by the act of drinking vampire blood. This curse remains in the present, but the Assamites have found a way to circumvent it by indirect means. It must be noted that diablerie was not unknown to the Tremere (the clan's founder committed diablerie on Saulot, the Antediluvian founder of clan Salubri). Vampires with the Discipline of Auspex are supposed to be able to recognize Diablerists by the characteristic dark veins in their aura. In the game ''Vampire: The Dark Ages'', set in the 13th century, this practice was known as ''Amaranth''. When a blood hunt was to be declared, it was customary to send the victim a flower of amaranth a week in advance. The sire traditionally killed his childe through diablerie.
