Prerequisite Charms: Terminate Illness
Every malady stems from a source. Bleeding from an injury, illness from a disease or poison, corruption from the corrupt, rot from decay. In essence, these are all the same, and every such malady can be cut away with the blade -- if the source can be found. This charm supplements any attempt to identify the weak point or source of a problem, be it locating a crumbling cornerstone in a wall, the corrupt middle manager embezzling funds, identifying the broken bone in a paralyzed arm, or determining the poison an assassin's victim suffers from. The Sidereal may add her Essence in successes to the attempt; if successful, the difficulty of the first action she makes to correct or exploit the flaw -- repairing or destroying the wall, firing the manager (or tracking him down to remove him), or performing surgery or treating the disease - is reduced to 1, and is considered supernatural for all purposes [such as supernatural diseases or tracking-avoidance].
