Aye, he's right, actually. Most vampires that I've noticed start out with few, if any, abilities psychic or otherwise. Myself, I only seemed to have a heightened empathic ability before I awakened. I could feel and sense other people's emotions and the first time I energy fed was through an empathic feeding with my ex. Then I developed my energy awareness and other abilities, as well as magickal abilities that seemed to awaken sometime before my vampiric awakening when I was awakening into my therian wolf side. But I've also heard of sanguine vampires who don't have any psychic ability, or at least not the active awareness or control over it. This a curious discussion topic, might have to open up a poll on it.

are mortals allowed to read the codex or not cuz that would be cool if I could I want to know everything I can about vampires

Just for reference, Super, I'm a mortal, a Human Living Vampire, HLV. The Codex was written for all to learn from, mundane (humans, or mortals), vampires, and otherkin alike. I posted in the Awakening board linking you to the online version, but in case you don't see it, here it is again, and you can also check Amazon.com and your local book stores: The Vampire Codex Index

i also started with a few powers of my own and from what everyone is telling me that they are quite unique. i can control and manipulate shadows. for example i can blend into and in essence make myself into a shadow. i can "teleport" from shadow to shadow (shadow walking or shadow jumping is whats called) and i can also stop someone from moving by stepping on their shadow (called shadow snap). i first found out about my power when my friends and i were playing around and we were stomping on each others shadows and one of my friends couldn't meve. we though he was playing and we tried to move him and he couldn't move. i went over there to help and the instant i move so did he. my other powers kinda just came after that and i dont have the time to the space to explain how i figured them out. i was also wondering if anyone was heard of this?

I agree with DagonMalak, you sound a lot like me too. I think if you meditate it should help, and try to excercise your ability and you will gain more control of your abilities.
