Moonsilver

Forge Her Grace
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Wits: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
Moonsilver is unpredictable and quick to flow, and only a Lunar who can understand and react to its patterns can create true wonders! This Charm reduces by two the minimum Craft, Lore and Occult requirements for a character to craft artifacts that are partly or mostly forget out of Moonsilver. It also adds +3 dice to the forging of Moonsilver - those are counted as Specialty dice and cannot be used with other Craft specialties.

Surprising Moonsilver Deformation
Cost: 1 mote per +1 difficulty
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Wits: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Forge Her Grace
Shifting his Moonsilver Weapon the Lunar realises an impossible strike! His weapon flows past a foe's defenses or splashes upon the world making dodges all but impossible. This Charm enhances an attack made with a Moonsilver Weapon, increasing the Difficulty to Parry and Dodge by 1 per mote spent, to a maximum of the Lunar's Essence in motes spent.

This Charm has no effect if the foe parries the attack with a Moonsilver weapon.

When using this Charm the Lunar may choose to soften the strike when using this Charm, dealing Bashing Damage without having to Pull His Punches.

Infinite Lunar Arsenal
Cost: 4 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Wits: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Surprising Moonsilver Deformation
In the hands of a Chosen of Luna Moonsilver shows an ocean of quicksilver possibilities!

For the remainder of the scene the Lunar can change any Moonsilver weapon she is attunned to any other Artifact Weapon as a Reflexive action. The weapon's new configuration must have an Artifaft Rating equal or less than that of the Lunar's weapon. She may also choose to change her weapon into a mundane weapon which benefits from the Moonsilver Magical Material bonus. All magical functions possessed by the Artifact beyond its basic weapon traits remain constant and unchanged unless they depend on the Weapon's shape - weapons such as a Lighting Chain that increases its damage greatly when used as a Clinch Enhancer would lose such an ability when taking the shape of a Daiklave.

When faced with a nugget or deposit of Moonsilver, this Charm allows the character to shape the material reflexively into any mundane weapon. Such weapons do not benefit from the Moonsilver Magical Material Bonus. They are not artifacts and need not be attunned.

The weapon always reverts to its original shape at the end of the Scene.

This Charm can be used to change the shape of Armor to any other of equal Artifact Rating or less or to do similar works to other Moonsilver Artifacts - however doing so requires the Lunar to spend 1 extra willpower per such change as they do not come as naturally as those of simple implements of destruction.

Insidious Moonsilver Shard
Cost: 8 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: Indefinite
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Wits: 4
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Infinite Lunar Arsenal
Upon striking his opponent and doing at least one health level of damage the Lunar splits a shard of his Moonsilver Weapon into the opponent's body. This shard becomes as a barbed insect within his opponent's body, cutting its way towards the heart! After every minute passed from the moment the shard has burrowed into the opponent's body it deals the Moonsilver Weapon's Artifact Rating in levels of lethal damage to the opponent which can only be soaked with Stamina (but will deal at least 1 Health Level of Damage even if soaked to 0).

The Lunar can slow the shard and dictate longer intervals of damage.

The Shard can be extracted with delicate surgery, requiring a successful Dexterity+Medicine roll at a difficulty equal to the Lunar's Wits. This takes at least 10 turns and deals at least two automatic and unsoakable levels of Lethal Damage to the patient if successful or a number of automatic and unsoakable levels of Lethal Damage equal to the Lunar's Essence if it fails.

The Lunar's commitment ceases if the Surgery is successful, but the Lunar can spend 1 Willpower to shape the Shard into a deadly device with the last of its magic - the shard becomes a creature with the same statistics as a Ichneumon Hunter intent on killing all about it for a Scene, until it dissolves into mere mundane Quicksilver.

Blade of All Moons
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Wits: 4
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Infinite Lunar Arsenal
A Lunar's weapon is as fluid as his own being, a shape that can be honed into the same intricate perfection! Blade of All Moons allows a Lunar to commit 2 motes as an unrolled dice action to add a single Edge (From Thousand-Moon Arsenal) to his Moonsilver Weapon as if it was a Natural Weapon. The Lunar can add no more Edges to her weapon than the weapon's Artifact Rating.

Lunar Torrent Strike
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Wits: 5
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Blade of All Moons
There is a dam holding infinite shapes within a Moonsilver Weapon, a dam a Lunar can shatter to overwhelm her foe!

Spending 2 motes when she attacks an opponent with a Moonsilver Weapon the Lunar can make it splash and extend to the infinite in an impossible fashion, making the attack both Undodgeable and Unparriable. This exhausts the weapon's Moonsilver and reduces its Artifact Rating by one. Weapons reduced to Artifact zero cease to function. This reduction lasts until Luna changes her face, restoring the myriad possibilities within the weapon's Moonsilver.
