 An Essence 4 repurchase of this charm expands its' potential; the charm loses its' Wyld keyword, and she may reshape [but not improve] lands within Creation that she metaphysically owns as if it were the Bordermarches.  In addition, in either landscape of at least arable quality, she may use this charm for precise geomantic restructuring, permitting her to manufacture a Lunar-aspected demesne, costing one success per level, two for the 4th and 5th levels.  An additional success may be spent to make it Sidereal or any Element, but production of Solar aspected demesnes may not come from this charm, as oppositional as Luna and Sol's powers are to each other.<br>
 The limitation on reshaping a landscape is relaxed in Creation, as she cannot simply mass-produce wondrous wealth and ores within it, only restructure the land and produce a demesne.<br>

 A single success lets her define the basic layout of the land and quell the chaos some; the area mutates those present as if it were one step closer to Creation [bordermarches double the time interval between mutation checks instead], and these mutations follow a script of the Lunar's devising. She selects up to 20 points of mutations; anyone subjected to mutation within the region selects from that list, and upon acquiring [15-her Essence] points of mutation, they effectively 'adapt' and need not check for mutation within her owned regions.  Finally, these mutations do not inhibit the character's viability within Creation.<br>
 She may spend additional successes to improve the value of the landscape; an additional three successes on the base roll ensures verdant fertility, arable land, jungles with wondrous game and plantlife.  Six successes further improves the landscape above the three-success level, filling the earth with rare and valuable gems and ores similar to but distinct from those within Creation; silvers that glow in the light of the moon, iron that hums once smelted into steel, and so on.  The wonders produced within her landscape are subject to withering inside Creation, as normal, barring the use of other charms to stabilize their existence.<br>

 "Impossible" is the self-imposed limitation of an insufficiently advanced mind.  The Lunar's genius outstrips her understanding of mortal abilities; refusing to accept that she "cannot" undertake a task, her incomparably brilliant mind fills in the gaps of her knowledge.  The Lunar may now consider all ability prerequisites for dramatic Intelligence-based actions to be met by her Intelligence rating, augmented by any relevant specialties, for determining what manner of tasks she is able to perform; for example, with an Intelligence of 6, she is permitted to attempt to engineer a 3-dot Demesne [rating+3 required in Lore+Geomancy and Occult+Geomancy], or craft a 4-dot artifact [rating+2 required in Craft, Lore, and Occult].<br>
 However, her progress is hindered by her intellectual shortcuts and bypassing of the full understanding; she suffers a -1 external penalty on all relevant rolls for every missing ability dot.  Assuming the above Lunar has 5s in every required ability, she takes a -2 external penalty on all rolls to engineer the demesne [missing one dot of two abilities], or -3 to craft the artifacts [missing 1 dot in three abilities].<br>

 For one, I love the idea - I've hated Solars' grip on the speedup offered by CNNT for a long time, and am glad to see Lunars get in on the action. Given the Lunars' propensity for being generalists, the ability of this charm to broadly affect intelligence based actions is welcome as well, as is the lowered boost. The only thing that concerns me, however, is the activation cost - varying between 5 and 10 committed motes for what could well be a /very/ long time. Months, even. Given that the Solars are committing so few, and in general, this isn't that splashy of an action - at best, a 5 Ess, 5 Int Lunar could expect a x10 from this - not much, compared to an Ess 3 Solar. Thus, my claim is that it should be reduced greatly in mote cost in some fashion. My preferred way might be to remove  any increased cost from the upgrade charm, thus giving you a 5m flat fee for speedup. -- [[GreenLantern]]

 '''Prerequisite Charms''': Den-Planning Intuition<br>
 The creations of the Stewards inspire wonder in all who witness them.  When creating any object, the Lunar may invest in it a social attack as if it were a written communication.  Her Intelligence replaces her Linguistics for the purpose of relative appearance.  The Lunar can imbue charms into it to supplement the social attack for a 1m surcharge, as if those charms explicitly allowed written communication; the motes are committed until the social attack is first made, then expended.<br>
-At Essence 4, the Lunar may extend the production of a mundane object to make it a one-dot artifact, or add a one-dot artifact's construction to another artifact, at which point it carries the social attack indefinitely; the social attack may only target any one character once, however.<br>
