Perfection of the Mockingbird
Cost: 4 mote
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Wits: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
Even without a person's Heart's Blood, a Lunar can fool most people about her identity. When making an action to imitate another person's voice, habit or appearance, or just trying not to be recognized as herself, a Lunar can use this Charm to make the imitation supernaturally deceptive. The imitation sounds or looks perfect; No mundane sense can detect a flaw. Supernaturally perceptive creatures may try to see through the trick.
Hide of the Cunning Hunter
Cost: 1 mote
Duration: Indefinite
Type: Simple
Minimum Appearance: 1
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None.
This Charm is often the first that young Lunar learn. It allows the Lunar to supress his tatoos, causing them to become invisible. The Lunar can hide her tatoos, as well as any such marking features such as scars and blemishes, anything else that might make one notice the Lunar too much, and none can perceive them even with the use of magic as long as this Charm is in effect. This includes all such features, including Tatooed Artifacts. Even charms that perceive essence see nothing. This effect fades as the Lunar reaches the Truth of Luna.
Clover Can't Be Found
Cost: 1 mote
Duration: One Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Appearance: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Hide of the Cunning Hunter
The Lunar changes his features for a moment, blanking them. He becomes nobody - a face to be overlooked. When the Lunar is in a crowd, he becomes just another one of them, and any roll to notice him in the crowd has a difficulty equal to the Lunar’s Permanent Essence, which also increases to the difficulty to perceive his Tell.
Chameleon Skin Disguise
Cost: 4 motes
Duration: One Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Clover Can't Be Found
Using this Charm, the Lunar is able to shift his skin like a Chameleon's, and adjust his texture and color to match the ambient. As long as the Lunar stands still or moves no more than half his total movement rating, he converts a number of dice equal to his Essence into automatic successes in any attempt to not be noticed. This is a supernatural effect, and the Lunar can roll to hide even if there is nowhere to do so. As long as he is against a background, the Lunar may as well be standing face-to-face to his opponent, and will still require said opponent to roll his Awareness against the Lunar’s Stealth for him to notice the Lunar, or miss his presence an inch from his nose, completely.
The Lunar cannot be clad in anything but Moonsilver for this Charm to function. As long as this Charm is active, anyone attempt to attack or otherwise interact with the Lunar receives a penalty equal to half the Lunar's Essence(round up), as he is barely more than a blur in the air even when he moves. This may be circumvented if an opponent decides not to look at the Lunar. Trying to avoid looking at the Lunar adds 2 to the difficulty of all actions involving the Lunar, including attacks and defenses. This Charm is a Gift and may be activated in when the Lunar shifts into a Hybrid Form. The Lunar may commit 2 motes to make the effects of this Charm last for as long as he remains in Hybrid Form.
Smile to the Moonless Night
Cost: 6 motes
Duration: One Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Hide of the Cunning Hunter
In a night of shadows and clouds, one cannot see the Moon. Luna disappears, and even those who know where she should stand see nothing but shadows. Out of mind, out of sight, the lady of pure silver light smiles as she avoids all the gazes of Creation. As long as Smile to the Moonless Night is active, the Tell is perfectly concealed, and none may roll to spot it if the Lunar is not in his True Forms. If the Lunar is in his True Forms, the difficulty to spot the Tell increases by the Lunar's Permanent Essence.
Subtle Silver Declaration
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Smile to the Moonless Night
Luna may flare in the moonless night, but when she does so, she issues an order, breaking her own truth with a subtle lie, and none but those who are completely in her thrall may notice her, only see the light falling upon them and wondering... why does it do so, if Luna is not in the sky? This Charm enhances Smile to the Moonless Night. Thereafter, if the Lunar flares his anima banner while under the effects of that Charm, his Tell does not become obvious; It loses the Essence bonus, but others must roll to notice it as usual.
Essence-Masking Prana
Cost: 4 motes
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Smile to the Moonless Night
The Lunar is able to hide his Essence as if it was his Tell or Tatoos - as long as this Charm is up, Charms that are able to see the Lunar's Permanent Essence or Essence Pool, such as Essence-Discerning Glance and the Arcanoi Aura-Reading Technique, see no Essence on the Lunar if they fail a resisted roll between the Lunar's Wits+Stealth and the onlooker's Wits+Awareness.
Shadowed Divinity Prana
Cost: 5 motes, 1 willpower, 1 health level
Duration: Indefinite
Type: Simple
Minimum Appearance: 4
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Essence-Masking Prana, Smile to the Moonless Night
This Charm may only be used when the Lunar is not on his True Forms - he swallows his own Exalted Shard, locking it deep within his Essence. For the remainder of the scene, his Peripheral Essence is locked, and the Lunar may not access it. But it gives a great advantage: for all intents of investigation, even supernatural, the Lunar is not seen as an Exalted. No Charm may make his Anima flare, or reveal his Caste Mark, even if just in an individual's essence sight. The only hope to notice a Lunar under this Charm's effects is to notice his Tell, or use effects that can perfectly pierce shapeshifting magic.
