Acceptance is prime among the tenets of Serenity. This charm can enhance the perfect dodge of Stepping Off The Path by spending another 2 motes and a willpower. The Sidereal silently calls out that this battle is not meant to be, and accepts the blow even as fate denies the harm it would cause. The Sidereal becomes dematerialized till their next turn (even in realms where the dematerial is material), and for every die of pre-soak damage that would have been caused the Sidereal is thrown in some direction of their choice directly away from the blow. This means that the attack is still rolled, and all successes are added to the pre-soak damage.
