| − | Though it seems an unlikely coupling, the maidens of Serenity and Battles are not foreign to each other. Even in the worst situation imaginable, there is joy to be had, and a true warrior embraces pain as the price of glorious battle. When the martial artist activates this charm, he rolls a number of dice equal to the raw damage of the attack. Each success (up to a maximum of his martial arts) gives him an amount of essence equal to the attackers permanant essence in motes. After all, the greater the foe, the greater the excitement of surviving battle with him.

| − | The Martial Artist leans to embrace betrayal and suprise, and draw sustenance from such activities. For the remainder of the scene, whenever he attacks an enemy from behind, or when he attacks someone who does not consider the martial artist an enemy, he rolls his permanant essence. He gains a number of motes of essence equal to the number of sucesses on this roll.

Whenever the martial artist regains essence from a stunt or effect, he may joyously leap a number of yards in any direction equal to the number of motes recieved, reflexively. This does not count as a charm use.

| − | The martial artist assumes the stance of the Maiden of Serenity, when she makes her sign against the world. The martial artist knows a secret. There is a limited amount of joy in the world. For every spark of true happiness, there is an equal amount of despair. Lucky then, that he is fated for sucess, even at the cost of others. Whenever the martial artist regains motes from a charm in this Style, he may choose to have an enemy he can see lose the same number of motes, as his serenity comes at the price of theirs. In addition, only half (round up) of the cost of the charms in this Style are considered commited, while he is under the effects of the form charm.

| − | The martial artist smiles amorously at his foe, and sighs contentedly, as his body relaxes against his foe. Even the most sadistic and vile foes pause, when confronted with this serenity. The martial artist may subtract one sucess from a roll to clinch the martial artist for every 2 motes he spends.

| − | The martial artist clings to his foe like an amorous lover, as he does not relent to let his partner leave. For every two motes spent, he may add 1 automatic sucess to his unarmed martial arts attacks while in a clinch, when trying to clinch, or when preventing an opponnent from leaving the clinch. He may not add more sucesses than his permanant essence to an attack.

| − | The martial artist imbues himself with an essence sucking kiss, both seductive and dangerous. If he kisses his foe (a normal ma+dex attack, if the target is wary of him, but requiring no roll if in a clinch or hold) the foe loses as many motes as the martial artist spent on this charm. The martial artist gains half as many motes, rounded down. The martial artist may not spend more motes powering this charm than his martial arts + appearance.

| − | The martial artist forges chains of slavery and love, of freedom and of consequence, between the particpants in a struggle. Whenever the martial artist would gain essence from a charm in this style, he may have one ally in line of sight (or his partner in a Lover's Oath if any, regardless of distance) regain that essence instead.
| |
| − | If the martial artist is a Sidereal, or learns this as a Sidereal charm, he may enhance it with a prayer strip of the expectant maiden. If he does so, the prayer strip wraps around the martial's artists throat, glowing a soft and muted blue. Whenever one of the martial artist's allies (as defined above) gains essence from a charm in this style, they may make a target in line of sight lose the same amount of essence.
