=== The Ascension Charms ===

None of those Charms - named ''Changes'' - are active Charms. They are instead modifications to one of the Lunar's True Forms. The only time when Charm-disrupting magic can affect the Ascension is when the Luna's Ascension Charm is being used for the Lunar to shift to that Form - afterwards, the Lunar simply ''is'' in that Form, and the powers of the Ascension Form, both from that charm and these changes below cannot be disrupted.

All the Charms below increase the power of the Ascended Shape. The Lunar may not choose to not use those Charms – once they are purchased the Ascended Form increases in power. Those that have an Ascension Cost increase the cost of the Luna’s Ascension Charm.

'''Force of Luna''' 
'''Cost: ''' None 
'''Ascension Cost: ''' 1 
'''Duration: ''' Permanent 
'''Type: ''' Special 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 2 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Luna’s Ascension 
This Change enhances the Ascended Shape’s Physical Prowess. While in it, the Lunar becomes stronger, faster, more resilient. Each purchase of this Change allows the Lunar to distribute an additional 3 points between his Physical Attributes when in Ascension Form. Dexterity costs two points for one Dot. Force of Luna may be bought as many times as the Lunar has dots of Permanent Essence; It is not cumulative with Excellence or Wisdom of Luna. The Ascension Cost is not cumulative. The Lunar may not add more dots to any single attribute with this Charm than her highest Virtue. Other effects may add dots past this limit, however.

'''Excellence of Luna''' 
'''Cost: ''' None 
'''Ascension Cost: ''' 1 
'''Duration: ''' Permanent 
'''Type: ''' Special 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 2 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Luna’s Ascension 
This Change enhances the Ascended Shape’s Social Prowess. While in it, the Lunar becomes more beautiful, more charismatic, and much more crafty. Each purcahse of this Change allows the Lunar to distribute an additional 3 points between his Social Attributes when in Ascension Form. Manipulation costs two points for one Dot. Excellence of Luna may be bought as many times as the Lunar has dots of Permanent Essence; It is not cumulative with Force or Wisdom of Luna. The Lunar may not add more dots to any single attribute with this Charm than her highest Virtue. Other effects may add dots past this limit, however.

'''Wisdom of Luna''' 
'''Cost: ''' None 
'''Ascension Cost: ''' 1 
'''Duration: ''' Permanent 
'''Type: ''' Special 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 2 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Luna’s Ascension 
This Change enhances the Ascended Shape’s Mental Prowess. While in it, the Lunar becomes more intelligent, able to formulate faster thoughts, and to perceive the slightest of changes in the air. Each purchase of this Change allows the Lunar to distribute an additional 3 points between his Mental Attributes when in Ascension Form. Wits costs two points for one Dot. Wisdom of Luna may be bought as many times as the Lunar has dots of Permanent Essence; It is not cumulative with Excellence or Force of Luna. The Ascension Cost is not cumulative. The Lunar may not add more dots to any single attribute with this Charm than her highest Virtue. Other effects may add dots past this limit, however.

'''Cost: ''' None 
'''Ascension Cost: ''' 4 
'''Duration: ''' Permanent 
'''Type: ''' Special 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 5 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Excellence of Luna, Force of Luna, Wisdom of Luna 
This Change enhances the Ascended Shape’s Essence. In this shape the Lunar exudes power, shining motes of essence trailing his every movement, the power of an Incarna barely countained within his frame. The Lunar doubles his Essence Score for the purpose of all Ascension Charms. This explicitly excludes how many times the Lunar may buy Ascension-based Charms, but explictly includes the effectiveness of various Ascension Changes, and the attribute bonuses of the Luna's Ascension Charm.

'''Reflexes of the Predator''' 
'''Cost: ''' None 
'''Ascension Cost: ''' 0 
'''Duration: ''' Permanent 
'''Type: ''' Special 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 2 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Luna’s Ascension 
In the Ascended Shape, the Lunar becomes like a predator, his every movement becomes fast, ready to spring after his prey

-The Lunar’s Natural Weapons become fearsome, powerful implements of destruction, weapons of Moonsilver able to go through any material with ease, impossible to be broken by all but the mightiest of Exalted. In effect, the Natural Weapon of the Ascended Shape receives the statistics of a one-or-two dot artifact weapon, which replaces that from the base Ascendant Shape and receives a number of points equal to half his Essence, rounded down, to be distributed among its stats. It cannot have stats lowered to increase its points as the base Ascendant Shape weapon can. It is considered Moonsilver for the purposes of any Charms that interact with this Material.
