The Ascension Charms

None of those Charms - named Changes - are active Charms. They are instead modifications to one of the Lunar's True Forms. The only time when Charm-disrupting magic can affect the Ascension is when the Luna's Ascension Charm is being used for the Lunar to shift to that Form - afterwards, the Lunar simply is in that Form, and the powers of the Ascension Form, both from that charm and these changes below cannot be disrupted.

All the Charms below increase the power of the Ascended Shape. The Lunar may not choose to not use those Charms – once they are purchased the Ascended Form increases in power. Those that have an Ascension Cost increase the cost of the Luna’s Ascension Charm.
