How does this card address a compelling game need?:
The slave attribute only applies when acting, this gives the slave attribute some action during a reaction.
Gargoyles are great at blocking D actions, not so great at blocking undirected actions, using this card the tremere’s auspex can be used to
block undirected actions more easily and still combat with gargoyles being the main theme of the deck.

I think it would make more sense to have to choose a tapped gargoyle slave, as it’s almost the same as the gargoyle "slave rule" and make it just a reaction. However I think this could be very good.

Current wording already allows you to choose a tapped gargoyle, which is also useful as an action modifier. Making it target just a tapped gargoyle makes it worse.
Added the 'vampire untaps' text.
