Natural Perception of Defects

• Cost: 4 motes
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Craft: 3
• Minimum Moe: 2
• Prerequisite Charms: Confusing Lolita Crafting

Gothic Lolitas who use this Charm gain a superior insight on finding the defects of others, people or structures. Characters attempting to repair faults on objects revised with this Charm may either double any Craft-related dice pool to do so or halve the time needed to repair it (the character may choose to do both by spending 8 motes). The character may use this Charm to double Medicine dice pools to staunch bleeding, halt infections and dice pools related to Medicine Charms. Also, characters attacking a scrutinized object’s weak points count extra successes twice for the purpose of determining damage with their first strike. Subsequent attacks do not receive this bonus unless the character uses this Charm to reevaluate the object’s weaknesses. Finally, the Lolita may use this Charm to make an attack that strikes through the opponent’s armor’s weak point. The character makes a reflexive Wits + Craft roll. Each success reduces the opponent’s armor soak by 1. This Charm cannot reduce an armor’s soak below 1.

This Charm may be put in a Combo with Charms of other abilities.

Hands of Life-Withering

• Cost: 7 motes
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Re-Useless
• Minimum Craft: 3
• Minimum Moe: 2
• Prerequisite Charms: Natural Perception of Defects

Gothic Lolitas can channel their cuteness into a corroding force that makes flowers wither and die and objects rot and decay. This Charm allows the Lolita to make objects disintegrate within seconds. This Charm can only be used on objects and plants the size of a large weapon or a single suit of armor. The Hands of Life-Withering have no effect on enchanted items, including those made from or reinforced by the Five Magical Materials. This Charm may be used from a range of (the Lolita’s permanent Moe x 10 yards) with a successful Dexterity + Athletics/Archery/Thrown roll (chosen by the player) contested by a dodge roll, if applicable (I mean, a plant doesn't have much of a chance, right?). Hands of Life-Withering may only be used once per turn.

Aura of Material Alteration

• Cost: 7 motes
• Duration: One day
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Craft: 4
• Minimum Moe: 2
• Prerequisite Charms: Natural Perception of Defects

With unmatched grace and skill, the Gothic Lolita can shape her Moe into the appropriate tools for the task at hand. This works exactly as the Bishonen Charm Tools of Moe, granting her Excellent Quality tools which add a +2 die bonus to her Craft rolls.

Just like she can shape her Moe for her advantage, she can use to alter the structural quality of others’ tools, making them unsuitable and inappropriate to the task they’re intended to. If a character uses tools affected by the negative form of this Charm, that character takes a penalty to all her Craft rolls equal to the Lolita’s Moe. In addition, any bonuses normally granted by the modified Charms become additional penalties instead.

Brood-Enhanced Time Manipulation Technique

• Cost: 7 motes
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Re-Useless
• Minimum Craft: 4
• Minimum Moe: 2
• Prerequisite Charms: Natural Perception of Defects

By instilling feelings of doubt and uncertainty on the probability of success, the Gothic Lolita ensures the target character wastes more time than necessary to finish a project. The Gothic Lolita rolls Manipulation + Craft at a difficulty equal to the target character’s Intelligence + Conviction, adding the difference between the Lolita’s Moe and the target’s Moe in automatic successes. If the Lolita succeeds, the Charm’s effect is applied. When the target is conducting a Craft action that allows one roll every X unit of time, multiply X by the Lolita’s Moe.

On the other side, the Lolita can feed on her own angst to increase her efficiency and the speed of her work. This works exactly as the Bishonen Charm Time and Motion Studies Method.

Unlimited Maid Works

• Cost: 10 motes, 1 Willpower
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Craft: 5
• Minimum Moe: 3
• Prerequisite Charms: Brood-Enhanced Time Manipulation Technique

The Gothic Lolita accepts nothing but perfection in her creations; hence she only uses the best materials and manpower for the job. This Charm can only be used when the character is conducting a Craft action that requires the combined work of more than two beings, not counting the character. For the purpose of calculating the total time of construction or the time between rolls (as appropriate), the number of workers is multiplied by the half the Gothic Lolita’s (Moe + Craft), rounded up. The Charm’s Moe cost remains committed for the duration of the work. While this Charm is in effect, all male workers are dressed in butler suits shaped with Moe, and the female workers (the Gothic Lolita included) wear frilly French maid costumes. For this reason, the use of this Charm inflicts one point of Irony on the Loli.

Reinforcement Circuit Magic

• Cost: 10 motes, 1 Willpower
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Craft: 4
• Minimum Moe: 2
• Prerequisite Charms: Natural Perception of Defects

By activating her inner flow of Moe and channeling it to an object, the Lolita makes it immune to corrosion, decay, rot and even simple weathering. Against more aggressive causes of decay, of the likes of acid baths, magical bolts of angst or other magical corrosive/rotting attacks, treated objects have double the usual soak or resistance dice pool. Although this enhancement is permanent, it only protects against decay. Treated objects have no additional resilience against other sources of damage and may be cut, burnt or otherwise broken as easily as normal. This Charm does not work on living beings.

Glasses-Wearing Loli Anatomical Experiments

• Cost: 10 motes
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Craft: 4
• Minimum Medicine: 2
• Minimum Moe: 2
• Prerequisite Charms: Reinforcement Circuit Magic, Medicine Insight of the Lolita

A Gothic Lolita wearing big round glasses can look extremely cute. Too bad they’re often pretty wicked. As this Charm is activated, the Gothic Lolita puts on her glasses and releases a demented laugh, while lightning falls on the background and thunder roars from the distance. The Charm allows the Gothic Lolita to fashion prosthetics of iron and carved bone and affix them to human flesh as replacement for missing limbs. The Gothic Lolita must first build the actual prosthesis, which requires a number of creation rolls using Craft (Playing God). Creating a hand requires 5 successes, an arm 15 successes and a leg 25 successes. If successful, the character can use this Charm to join the implant to its host. Successful implantation of the prosthesis requires a successful (Intelligence + Medicine) roll at the following difficulty: hand (difficulty 1), arm (difficulty 2), leg (difficulty 3). The recipient must commit Moe (or Willpower, in the case of puny mortals) to attune the device to her life force. Generally, a hand requires 3 motes or 1 point of Willpower, while a full arm requires 5 motes or 2 Willpower. Entire legs can take as many as 8 motes or 3 Willpower. So long as the cost remains attuned, the prosthesis behaves entirely as its organic counterpart. Owing to their sturdy construction, prosthetics designed with this Charm have a +2L/+2B soak against damage of any sort.

Little Goddess Hands

• Cost: 10 motes, 1 Willpower
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Craft: 5
• Minimum Moe: 3
• Prerequisite Charms: Reinforcement Circuit Magic, Hands of Life-Withering

With her delicate hands and careful touch, the Gothic Lolita who employs this Charm can repair any broken object, as long as some fragment remains. The character must spend a number of hours working on the object equal to (10 – the Lolita’s permanent Moe, minimum 1), while she reshapes and binds the remains with threads of Moe. She needs no tools to accomplish her job; no glue or nails, but she still leaves the object as strong and seamless as if it were new. This Charm cannot remake intangible items (such as broken promises) or restore objects more yards in radius than the character’s permanent Moe. Little Goddess Hands can repair items of Harem Age manufacture but can do nothing to mend those whose magic has fled or been exhausted.

Reality Revision: Wonder-Crafting Lolita Genius

• Cost: 12 motes
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Craft: 5
• Minimum Moe: 6
• Prerequisite Charms: Glasses-Wearing Loli Anatomical Experiments, Little Goddess Hands

Gothic Lolitas are extremely intelligent. Even those with low Intelligence scores hide an enormous potential within themselves. They can achieve in moments what lesser Exalts require centuries of study and experimentation to understand; things mortals can only dream of ever completing. By adjusting reality itself, Gothic Lolitas with this Charm can make sure everything, everything, works to favor her diligent work.

The character can only use this Charm in the planning stages of the crafting or repairing of a particular artifact. The player rolls the Lolita’s Intelligence (10s do not count as two successes in this roll). This Charm reduces the minimum Craft, Lore, Medicine or Occult requirements to build or repair the intended artifact by a number of dots equal to the successes on the roll, and also grants automatic successes on all following build/repair rolls equal to the successes on the previous roll.

This Charm works slightly different in the case of designing manses. Each success on the roll reduces by three the number of dots characters must have allocated among Craft, Lore and Occult to design manses (the maximum reduction allowed in this way is six dots, regardless of successes achieved). Automatic successes are also added to following rolls as above.

Comments

Hands of Life-Withering should require some sort of attack roll when used at a distance. I laughed really hard at Unlimited Maid Works. Glasses-Wearing Loli Anatomical Experiments is a very nifty idea. --JohnBiles

Correction to Hands of Life-Withering: Done!

Unlimited Maid Works: I know, that was pretty much the point.

G-WLAE (I don't plan to type that name again!): The Abyssal version required some real work on it. Hopefully Second Edition will include a better version. -- Wings

WCLG is pretty sweet. But it's Moe 6, so I think it's reasonable. --JohnBiles
