Purchasing this charm enhances the weapons made with Starmote Daggers Technique. Alternatively she can spend 5 motes to empower any thrown weapon she is attuned to for a scene as an Obvious effect. Whenever one of her thrown attacks inflicts damage the Sidereal can roll her Thrown+Essence at a difficulty of the victim's Essence. On a success she increases the TN of all that person's rolls for a scene as a Shaping effect.

Hidden Paths Attack
Cost: 6m, 1wp; Mins: Thrown 5, Essence 4, House of Journeys 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: College, Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Special
Prerequisite Charms: Any Two Thrown Excellencies, Opportune Advantage Trick, Starmote Daggers Technique

Life is a journey and everything makes a journey in its own life. With a weave of yellow essence around her weapon the Sidereal throws and her attack vanishes into its target. Yet they are unharmed. Weeks, months, maybe years later they will suddenly find themselves punished by the blow or find the attack come out of them and strike another.

The Sidereal makes a normal attack roll. If she hits the weapon vanishes. If she was using Starmote Daggers Technique that charm ends. The Sidereal then names a condition. That condition can be a set of actions, or a circumstance, or a time frame. When that condition happens or the Sidereal stops committing motes to this charm the attack either hits the target for full damage or the Sidereal can immidiently make an attack roll against another person within range of that person with any charms or combos she wants.

A special note that this charm is obvious in it being a magical attack but not so obvious in what it does. A person hit with it doesn't know what will cause the charm to hurt them. Furthermore when attacking someone other then the person the attack is stored in the Sidereal can make a reflexive Dexterity + Stealth resisted by the new targets Perception + Awareness or the attack is unexpected.

Stray Dog Curse
Cost: 5m, 1wp; Mins: Thrown 4, Essence 2, House of Journeys 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: College, Combo-OK, Shaping, Touch
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Tumbleweed Toss

The Gull is the constellation of wanderers. Those who are not bound anywhere and wander as free as a well...bird. With but a touch she can ensure their star falls under the descending aspects of that Constellation. The Sidereal rolls Manipulation + Thrown + House of Journeys at a difficulty of the targets DMDV. On a success ensures that for the next week the victim of this curse can not travel anywhere intentionally. She misreads maps, gets on the wrong boat, all that sort of thing. She is at least ensured safe travel in that week. The charm has three weaknesses. An astute astrologer can locate the victim's star and the influence it is under and deduce how much longer the effect will last. The next weakness is that particularly careful allies can ensure the victim of this charm travels with them and keep her from wandering off. Finally those with wyld-shaping or stabalizing charms can use them to break this charms effects if they realize they are cursed.
