 The Terrestrial loans a small portion of the elemental essence of his soul to infuse his arrow with an elemental nature.  This elemental nature provides the arrow with certain special abilities, similar to those of Dragon-Graced Weapon:
-*Air: Swift winds blow around the arrow and make the way trough the air much easier for it. The Exalt adds 50 yards to the range of his attack.

 One of the first arrow charms developed by Ahl Lee (and one that he uses the least), this Charm surrounds a single arrow with a vibrant, growth-inducing field of Essence that nonetheless contains the seeds of deadliness.  This Charm must be activated before the attack roll.  If the arrow strikes its target and causes damage, it will blossom into thorns inside the victim.  These thorns will continue to grow for a number of Turns equal to the Dynast's archery, and will cause (in dice) lethal damage equal to the number of damage successes rolled by the initial shot each turn.  This new damage can only be soaked by natural soak.
