The simplest way to avoid being seen is to be where no one looks. Anyone with an MDV less then twice the Sidereal's Stealth rating must spend a point of Willpower before they have a chance to notice the Sidereal. This is an Illusion effect and works even if the Sidereal would have no where normally to hide. This charm fails as soon as the Sidereal tries to engage in combat.

Many are the ways that the Viziers know to turn attention away from themselves and once you lose focus on them you will not regain it. This charm increases the difficult of rolls to spot the Sidereal by 1 for every three motes spent and can not spend more motes on this charm then three times her Essence. At Essence 3 a Sidereal can instead increase the cost to resist Stealth charms that require WP to be spent at the same cost. However the WP cost can not more then double what the charms normal cost would be.

Taking a deep breath she holds it for moment then exhales slowly and breaths out. As she does so things become suddenly difficult to notice. All around her any Awareness roll that would require a success or more fails. If another charm would contest this effect add the Sidereal's Essence in successes to the contesting roll. The Sidereal herself is not immune to this effect. This charm's Illusion effect makes people forget about any weird conflicts that might have come from this effect unless they spend 2 Willpower. The Sidereal is immune to this part of the charm effect.
