Mastery of Shape

Shaping the Ideal Form
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Appearance: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
This Charm allows the Lunar to make cosmetic changes to the appearance of any of her Forms. Such modifications include changing height, weight, hair, eye or skin color, lenghtening or shortening hair length, reshaping a chin or nose, changing the teeth. Tatoos, marks and scars can be made to disappear. The Lunar can even fake bleeding, pregnancy or other such conditions. To use this Charm, the Lunar must pay 3 motes and take a Shapeshifting Action, requiring no roll. The Lunar needs to make this shaping again in each of her Forms, as they are inherent to each, and when not transient, such as bleeding or dirt, they are permanent, and this Charm must be used again for the form to return to its old shape or any other. This Charm gives the Lunar a bonus of her Permanent Essence in dice to disguise attempts.

Shifting Plumage Mastery
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Appearance: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Shaping the Ideal Form
Shifting to another shape, the moonchild develops greater control over specific details. Shifting Plumage Mastery enhances Shaping the Ideal Form; Whenever the Lunar shifts her shape, she may pay 1 mote to reflexively, without counting as a charm use, to change anything, the color of fur, arrangement of feathers, adding or removing birthmarks at will, and even changing the clothing she wears for the new form.

Might of Vanity’s Crown
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Appearance: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Shaping the Ideal Form
The hair is the crown of vanity, and for a Moonchild that focused on her beauty, the hair is a part of her as sensitive and powerful as all others, one she can feel through every strand, one she can apply great pressure through, crushing enemies with the force of her vanity! This charm turns the Lunar’s hair into an extra limb, working like an arm and grasping objects independently, adding half the character’s Appearance(rounded up) in dice to all clinch rolls. This is usually an unexpected attack when used from surprise, adding +2 to the difficulty of awareness rolls to perceive such insidious, unusual moves! The hair becomes a limb like any other, being able to be enhanced by Natural Weapons and suchlike.

Flow Past Restraints
Cost: 6 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Shaping the Ideal Form
Building upon the fundaments of how to subtly alter her shape, the Lunar learns how to simply make it... flow. For a moment the Lunar's flesh becomes as quicksilver, moving in impossible and pehaps unsettling ways. He can flow out of any restraints, and move in ways she simply should... not. Arms can bend in impossible ways, as can hands, her body bend totally and come back in front. Her form flows, and nothing is impossible. By using this Charm, the Lunar receives a 2-dice specialty to athletics(and intimidation rolls based on appearing unsettling), and can reflexively escape from any sort of cuffs or chains, and slide out of any clinch with guaranteed success and without a roll. This is not a Perfect Effect.

Melting Wax Infiltration
Cost: 4 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Flow Past Restraints
A step further from the knowledge of how to properly shape one's form is the ability to simply allow your form to desestabilize in nothing more or less than melted wax. It is something few Lunars manage to make anything short of disturbing: The Lunar's form melts away, going through the smallest holes and coalescing on the other side. This Charm allows the Lunar to squeeze through the smallest openings, getting in places no other could possibly do. It takes a full turn to move the Lunar's Essence in yards through any small opening, and during this proccess, the Lunar may not hold any physical object ot made of Moonsilver, take any physical actions, and has no soak whatsoever - his body is like water. However, no single blow may deal more damage than the attacker's Essence - blows simply go through the Lunar in this Form. Despite this Charm's duration, it may last as long as needed to flow through the narrow places and into a place the Lunar can reform into.

Many-Faced Moon Transformation
Cost: 6 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Shaping the Ideal Form
By means of this Charm, the Lunar changes gender, males becoming females and vice versa, though their personalities, knowledge and traits are unchanged. The Lunar remain in this new gender as long as they wish, only changing back by using this Charm again. The Lunar has full use of the new biology, able to sire or bear children as appropriate. Lunars are not considered to have a 'natural' sex - they are considered to be in their true form(or not, if not on a true form!) regardless of gender. A pregnant Lunar may not use this Charm. The Lunar may also shift into a genderless shape, in which the Lunar is immune to any and all seduction attempts.

Shifting Might Meditation
Cost: 1 mote per dot
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Shaping the Ideal Form
Lunars are masters at changing their shape, and by doing so, they may shift their might, compensating for weaknesses at the cost of strengths, or pooling strengths together for great prowess. The Lunar may shift one dot of Strength, Dexterity, Stamina or Appearance from one attribute to another. He may not shift more dots than he has points of Essence, and Dexterity requires two dots to be enhanced by one(but provides two dots to the other attributes per dot of dexterity lowered). Those changes count as charm dice for the purpose of dice-adding charms, but they can more than double the attribute they are adding to. This Charm is a Gift and may be activated in when the Lunar shifts into a Hybrid Form. The Lunar may shift his dots as he goes into the form, committing a number of motes equal to his Essence.

Shining Essence Peacock
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Appearance: 1
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
Somewhere in the Lunar's Form, an eye shining like a Gem opens. It helps his essence flow, it stores more essence, it acts as a new focus to draw in and proccess ambient essence. It may be hid by Hide of the Cunning Hunter as if it was a Tatoo(In fact, it was one of Hide of the Cunning Hunter's original uses). They appear resplendent in the Lunar's anima, as eyes or even shining beads on a totem's collar. Each time this charm is purchased, an eye opens, giving the Lunar a Peacock Pool with 8 extra motes of peripheral essence, and adding 2 motes to the ammount of Essence the Lunar regains per hour when under the Moonlight. The motes in the Peacock Pool may only be recharged by its increased regeneration when under the Moonlight, and may not be used to commit to artifacts, only to power Charms and Sorcery. The Lunar may not buy this Charm more times than he has dots in Essence.
