Kindred call on their Blood gracelessly and recklessly, with little concern for what they are trying to do as such, Kindred warp and bend Chi flows wherever they practice their arts. It should be noted that most Kindred Disciplines are considered extremely "unnatural" by Kuei-jin. A botched attempt to use Chi Arts successfully attracts hostile spirits, who are displeased with the vampire's rude disturbance of their surroundings. Particularly potent uses of Chi might cause reverberations that affect the spirit world for days or even leave long-lasting "tracks" marking the vampire's presence in the area. Kuei-jin using Chi Arts create mystical "eddies" and other disruptions in the Mirror Lands. Many Kuei-jin scholars consider the Shintai Disciplines of Bone and Flesh to be Chi Arts of Yin and Yang, respectively.
Kuei-jin commonly study four Chi Arts: Equilibrium (balancing and unbalancing Chi in their own bodies), Tapestry: (manipulating ambient Chi), Yin Prana (manipulation of internal Yin), and Yang Prana (manipulation of internal Yang). Most Chi Arts allow channelling of Chi (Yin or Yang) into various tangible effects or augmentations.
These Disciplines allow a Kuei-jin to evoke mystical effects through redirection of his Chi (or, in some cases, others' Chi or the ambient Chi in the environment).
