| − | As part of her training the martial artist would have to carry heavy loads of supplies on her back as she performed laps or ran marathons until she is as tireless in movement as the sea. As such having another fighter on her back trying to crush the life out of her is no big deal. Assuming she has not allready used a charm that turn or a combo without this charm in it the martial artist can activate this charm when she is put into a clinch. She immidiately rolls her Strength or Dexterity + Martial Arts at a difficulty of her targets Strength. If she makes the roll she can perform a move action taking the clincher along with her and the clincher can not make their own move action. If the martial artist is in control of the clinch she need not make this roll, her Strength + Athletics is considered sufficient to move the target with her and she can make any form of non-reflexive move action if she wishes.

| − | The first lesson of the Secrets Hero Style is that success often comes from striking when your foe does not expect it. This charm cancels out the penalty for making attacks while in plain view and lets the martial artist instantly draw a weapon.

| − | The swift movements of the martial artist give her enemies pause for fear of attacking and striking a friend. Compare the martial artists Martial Arts + Essence rating against the DMDV of those watching. Those with less DMDV then that total can not distinguish the person she is attacking from the martial artist using this charm. This illusion fails if she attacks more then a single target in a turn. This charm costs 1 willpower to resist. Obviously the one being attacked can distinguish herself from the one attacking her.

| − | Exhaling lightly green essence drifts like a mist from her mouth across her body. This mist makes it hard to keep track of her as she fights and lets her blows strike through the thickest of armor. She adds her Martial Arts to her Dodge DV before division, her attacks ignore hardness and she adds her Essence in dice to rolls to re-establish surprise while in combat.

| − | Wisely the Secrets Stylist prefers to fight only after they have taken the time to size up their opponent. The martial artist rolls her Perception + Martial Arts at a difficulty of the higher of the targets Manipulation or Socialize while observing them fighting. If she makes the roll she knows their primary kind of combat(Archery, Melee, a particular MA style, etc) and their rating in that. She also adds one to stunts when fighting that person and they are using that style. She reduces by one however her stunt if they fight with with their non-optimal style. This bonus or penalty lasts for a scene. If used on someone who that they have used this Charm on before no roll is required unless their rating in their main fighting style has changed or some other major change.

After being attacked and successfully dodging the attack the Sidereal can activate this charm and roll her Dexterity + Martial Arts against a difficulty of the targets Perception or Awareness, whichever is higher. Success means that the attacker has lost track of where she is and can not attack her. Area effect style attacks that just attack everything within a radius without character awareness can still be used to attack her however.

| − | Endings Hero Style is a very lethal style. It doesn't subdue and it doesn't try to win. When a fighter of this style engages in combat the only goal they want is that their foe is dead. The style uses swords and its artifact equivilants as its form weapons. This style does not permit the use of armor. A great many users of this style poison their blades to ensure their enemies death. A user of this style must have medicine of 3 to reflect their understanding of the vulnerabilities of the living.

For this I am going to do 5 Hero Styles. Each group can develop charms from their own Hero style as if there were normal charms while others can learn them as a single MA style. Prayer Strip charms will not exist for them in their normal form. Those of the Endings caste can develop charms for all the Hero styles.
