Hungry Biting Arrow

Cost: 4 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Archery: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Hundred Paces Bite

As the arrow is drawn back the abyssal breathes hate, and a hunger for life into his arrow. Unleashed the arrow arrow feasts on the life force of a target and like an extension of the abyssal's own parasitic relationship to life it sends that energy back to the abyssal in the form of red mists coming out from the wound. Worse then that, like a leach it sticks to its victem, draining more and more life from him.

The abyssal adds his essence to the damage of the attack. For each health level of damage dealt the abyssal regains one. If she is already at full health then she regains a mote instead. After the first turn the arrow does only its base damage reduced only by stamina and other natural soaks. The damage can not be reduced below one die. To remove an arrow requires a Strength+Athletics roll at a difficulty equal to the abyssals essence. This can not rise above five. The arrow loses its magic when pulled free or a number of turns after the first equal to the abyssals essence pass. Only arrows that do lethal damage can benifit from this charm.

Can this be comboed with Twisting Spiteful Shaft? If so, what happens?

Oooh, also - If you combo this with Hundred Paces Bite, does the cost of HPB increase to 3 motes, like with Spiteful Twisting Shaft?
