New Devotion: Blood of the Wild (nWOD VTR)

Blood of the Wild
(Animalism •••, Protean •••)
Action: Reflexive.
Cost: 1 Willpower
Duration: 1 Scene
As a Gangrel learns how to shift into a beast, body and soul, they learn how to reshape of themselves to  gain power from the Vitae they take from such creatures.
No matter what the vampire’s Blood Potency is, she can take sustenance from animals and humans while this power is active.
This power costs 21 experience points to learn.

As I've said before, I have a core belief that the versions of powers printed in books (regardless of system) should not be the only way to achieve the listed effects. In this case, you have an ability that makes vastly more sense with one group (Gangrel, who live deeply in the wilds eschewing civilization) than it does the group that has it (Ordo Dracul). By adding a Devotion to the mix which allows advanced (read; elder) Gangrel to break the same rules that the Ordo does (albeit at a steeper cost) you add more mystery to the game; which came first? Did the Ordo steal the idea from an ancient Gangrel? Is that high Blood Potency Gangrel able to drink animal Vitae because they've learned Coils or because Gangrel have that nature mojo?
