 This effectively allows the Sprawl to have more than one Jouten at a time, as the Charm is not being used by a Monstrous.<br>

This entity is not a subsoul and does not contain any of her Permanent Essence, but it does contain part of herself, is a reflection of some aspect of her being, and acts directly on her behalf (rather than having a separate consciousness and personality as a Deva does).

-Any Charm with the Heretical keyword (and all its Didacts), once installed and activated, is considered "known" to the Machinical in the way other Exalt types know Charms. They no longer take up Charm Slots or have committed mote costs to remain installed. In addition, any non-Heretical Charms that were prerequisite for its installation and use no longer count against it, and any minimum Essence Rating it had is decreased by 1 after its first use. To install and activate a Heretical Charm (or Didact) still requires that the Machinical meet all prerequisites, install it in a Charm Slot, and commit the necessary motes as normal, but once she has done so and used it once, it is absorbed from the Charm Slot into the substance of her being.<br>

 This is it. The end of all things, or perhaps the beginning. As many Second- and Third-Circle Demons as can manage are on this side of the portal, protected in the shell of her mighty Sprawl, ready to call forth their greaters. With her city-body anchored firmly to Creation and her inner-world anchored firmly to Malfeas - her innards stretched through the annals of Elsewhere directly connecting the two - and with the metaphysical assistance of the Core Essences of the Yozis pulling with her from this side, she heaves, regurgitating, yanking her own guts out through the conduit of Elsewhere and attempting to drag all of Malfeas inside-out with her.<br>

 The Machinical's city-body anchors itself to Creation in the same way Carnal Link anchored her to Malfeas, and she creates a physical open archway of her own substance through what was once the portal from her Tesseract Cathedral to Creation. The Machinical is now a permanent physical open bridge from the Demon City to Creation, through the mediums of Elsewhere and her own Tesseract Cathedral. The Cathedral now counts as Malfeas for Third Circle Demons as well, and demons of any circle may traverse the full length of the passage from the Demon City to the Machinical's city-body freely without the assistance of sorcery.

 During a scene in which Innermost Gateway is active, the Machinical extends part of herself through it and anchors that piece to Malfeas with rootlike tendrils of flesh and essence. What was once a temporary magic portal is now a permanent physical portal, an arched hallway at one end of which is the Demon City and at the other end of which is the Tesseract Cathedral, the intervening length existing Elsewhere. First and Second Circle Demons may pass through this hallway freely without the assistance of Sorcery, and the Tesseract Cathedral now counts as Malfeas for Second Circle Demons as well as First.

 The Machinical may now choose an iconic anima banner, so long as it thematically matches her current anima flare (be it natural or disguised). This effectively keeps the disguise up even through totemic anima banner flare.

 The destiny the Machinical wrote for herself perfectly fools all senses including Essence Sight; her permanent Essence level, her Exaltation and mote aspect, her height and weight and skin color, etc. all matches her written destiny to any attempts to sense them. This effectively gives a perfect defense vs any attempt to see through the disguise.
