Let the Unconquered Sun fight by virtue and honor, Mars is the Goddess of War in all its forms and is not above cunning tricks to win a fight. Placing a well placed head blow the Sidereal can momentarily dim the vision of an enemy enough that they can not tell friend from foe. This charm generates an attack that has effects if it should damage a target. If someone damaged by this charm does not spend a Speed 5, DV -2 unflurryable action clearning their eyes on their next action their next attack will be against another target of the Sidereal's choosing within range. If the Vizier doesn't trust their skill enough to cut their enemy they can cut themselves and flick their own blood and essence at the enemies face. This changes the cost of the charm to 5m, 1lhl and renders the attack non-damaging and unblockable but in all other ways the same.
