Void Movement
Wind-Blown Ashes
Cost: 1 mote per 2 dice
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Martial Arts: 1
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
The Exalted channels Essence through her body and movements, moving like ashes dancing on sacrificial smoke.
For each mote spent the Exalt can add 2 dice to an attempt to dodge an attack she is aware of. This Charm can create a reflexive defense pool, and the character cannot gain more dice than her regular Dexterity + Dodge pool.
Flickering Shadow Defense
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Martial Arts: 3
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: Wind-Blown Ashes
Moving faster than the shadows cast by a guttering candle, the Abyssal may evade blows with supernatural prowess.
The character may dodge a single attack that she is aware of with his full Dexterity + Dodge pool.
Flickering Wisp Technique
Cost: 6 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Martial Arts: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Flickering Shadow Defense
The Abyssal ripples and vanishes like smoke in a stiff breeze, appearing right afterwards. This Charm allows the Abyssal to perfectly dodge any one attack that he can perceive without a roll, including those with an area effect.
The character still cannot dodge magical effects that explicitly prohibit dodging, however. The character may not move more yards with this technique than his permanent Essence rating and cannot use the Charm to teleport through solid barriers.
Flowing Evasion Assault
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Martial Arts: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Flickering Wisp Technique
In addition to teleporting out of harm’s way, an Abyssal's form coalesces a short distance away, even behind an opponent. Flowing Evasion Assault enhances Flickering Wisp Technique - when activating it the Abyssal disappears and may reappear as far away as her Dodge in yards.
If the attacker is within this range, the Abyssal may automatically reappear behind her opponent - and if she has any actions remaining to launch an attack of her own, she gains the full benefits of attacking from behind.
