Lunar Sorcery Charms by Quendalon

Essence-Channeling Tattoo

 Cost: 10 motes, 1 Willpower, 1 experience point
 Duration: Instant
 Type: Simple
 Minimum Intelligence: 4
 Minimum Essence: 3
 Prerequisite Charms: Tattoo-Cutting Wisdom, Terrestrial Circle Sorcery

The loremasters of the Lunars have learned many unique ways to manipulate and channel their Essence. With this Charm, the character inscribes a moonsilver tattoo upon a fellow Lunar in an hours-long ceremony. This tattoo reduces the cost of a chosen Charm by one mote of Essence per use, to a minimum of one mote per use. Both Lunars must know the Charm in question, and the recipient must commit a single mote of Essence to the tattoo. Should the recipient ever reclaim the committed mote, the tattoo evaporates into moonlight and silver mist. A Lunar may have any number of these tattoos, but no more than one tattoo per Charm.

Comments

Again, tres cool! I really like these. Questions though: Essence-Channeling Tattoo, what if an Eclipse knows a Lunar Charm? Can they get this tattoo as well? nikink

Since it's not a shapeshifting charm and there's still the heavy mote surcharge for foreign charms, I think it'd be reasonably. Heck, I think an Eclipse can learn Form-Fixing Method and use it on anyone. - GordonMichael

Thanks! If an Eclipse gains this Charm, he can tattoo a Lunar; but like Form-Fixing Method, the recipient must be a Lunar. No moonsilver tattoos for the Eclipse Caste! - Quendalon

Guess I misread it then. I figured that since only Finding the Spirit's Shape said had the big "Eclipses cannot learn this charm or anything derived from it" note, every charm refers to the user as a Lunar even when it means "Lunar, Eclipse or Amalgam", Form-Fixing Method doesn't have Finding the Spirit's shape as a prerequisite and there was nothing in the erratta, anyone could be tattooed. On closer inspection of some of the charm descriptions I realised that Form-Fixing Method appears to be the only canon Lunar charm with a non-personal effect that refers to the target as a Lunar (and that Tattoo-Cutting Wisdow only affects objects), so you're right about Form-Fixing Method. - GordonMichael
