False King's Weakness
Cost: 10m, 1wp; Mins: Bureaucracy 5, Essence 4; Type: Simple
Keywords: Mandate, Combo-Basic, Mirror(Pretender Denial Method), Shaping
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: Caustic Hatred Diatribe
Creation labors under false kings. The true rulers of Creation lie dead or imprisoned and the cowardly gods have even sought to remake Creation to accept the hated Chosen of the Unconquered Sun as its master. The Deathknight knows who is meant to rule and is able to remind Creation and those in it that those who would call themselves the masters of others are indeed the lowest of low. The Abyssal rolls Intelligence + Bureaucracy + Influence in a dramatic action to take away their rulership. This may be opposed by those in power. Success means that until the Deathknight releases the motes the affected target is reduced to Backing of 0 in that organization and can no longer count as a Savant, Sorcerer or Legitimate Sorcerer for Mandate actions and rules. They can still accomplish things by personally appealing to the new leadership but must work through others. This charm can not be used against other Solar or Abyssal Exalted as Creation has been changed to accept them as its ruler over the true fallen masters.
Cubical Life Assignment
Cost: 8m; Mins: Bureaucracy 5, Essence 4; Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Emotion
Duration: One project
Prerequisite Charms: Accursed Overlord Authority
Lead by the dark will of the Deathknights people ignore all that makes life worth living and throw themselves into their work. This charm supplements any long term project the Deathknight leads. Mortals working underneath the Abyssal temporarily count as having no positive intimacies while this charm is in effect. This abandonment of outside distractions lets the project be accomplished in half the time if possible. This soul numbing work can lead to an increase in suicides for mortals but such things don't hurt the morale of the organization.
Endless Desk Wasteland
Cost: 6m; Mins: Bureaucracy 4, Essence 3; Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Obvious, Spectral
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Cunning Subversion Style
Those attempting to interfere with the workings of the Neverborn blessed organizations find the efforts as useless as farming the fields of the Underworld. People send them through circles of bureaucracy and forms in triplicate until the effect they hoped for fails. This charm stops any attempt to slow down, non-physicall wrest control of, or socially break up an organization and counts as a defense. The Spectral Keyword is for when its used to stop an attempt on an organization primarily made of living people. This charm was inspired by haren.
Stability of Hate Endurance
Cost: 5m; Mins: Bureaucracy 4, Essence 3; Type: Reflexive(Step 2)
Keywords: None
Duration: One story
Prerequisite Charms: Accursed Overlord Authority
The Neverborn are not known for playing nice. Even amongst themselves only 5 of them supported the idea of the Deathlords. Yet so long as they have a common hate they can focus themselves at least for a time. This charm enhances an organization with a goal of destroying something or a negative intimacy as its Policy. Add the Abyssal's Essence to the difficulty of all charms that would interfere with that Policy and to the MDVs of the Abyssal when socially attacked by those trying to make her direct the organization against its Policy. Furthermore the organizations natural corruption is reduced by a factor equal to the Abyssal's Bureaucracy while this charm is in effect. A Deathknight who lets the committment of motes lapse early must wait until the next story to activate this charm.
Meticulous Accountancy Technique
Cost: -(1m); Mins: Bureaucracy 5, Essence 4; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Calculated Avarice Understanding, Bureaucracy Essence Flow
Having lost so very very much the Neverborn are accutely aware of the smallest loss or theft. The Abyssals often share their bitter selfishness but such a mindset can be a resource to those of an organizational mind. This charm reduces external penalties to her Bureaucracy rolls by the character involving her own organizations. Furthermore for the cost of a single mote the Abyssal becomes aware of everything she owns that has not been stolen or lost. While it doesn't tell her how money or possessions or even people in some cases have become lost she at least becomes aware there was a loss.
