Strength Charms
Strength Charms have to do with gross physical manipulation. They are almost always obvious when active; however, using Personal Essence a Chimeric may be able to pass them off as ordinary Radiance mutations, or even hide them. The exact cosmetic description of a Charm's appearance may vary from Chimera to Chimera, but is always the same for a given Chimeric Radiant.
