Void-Wrought Tyrants

Incessant Tyranny Presence
Cost: 8 motes
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Presence: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Elegant Tyrant's Majesty
The effortless superiority by which the Abyssal carries herself becomes impossible to ignore. The Exalt merely needs to enter the room and all heads will turn, drawn to her by a terrible pull that is dread and allure in equal measures. Any person beholding the Abyssal during this scene will feel the Exalt's cold aura of command washing over him, snuffing out all thoughts of disobedience. Each turn the character may take a single Presence action which is not rolled, but affects all onlookers with successes equal to her Permament Essence. This action may be used to intimidate or inspire obedience however the Exalt prefers, but like all Abyssal Presence Charms, it does not win her friends. This Charm has no effect on characters with higher Permament Essence than the Exalt's.

Courage-Snuffing Denial
Cost: 5 motes, 1 Willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Presence: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Charm Prerequisites: Incessant Tyranny Presence
There is nothing as terrible as the scorn of a dark tyrant. With an imperious glance and a scathing command, the Abyssal rebuffs her foe with a pang of fear of such intensity that the victim has no choice but to stand paralyzed for a split second, his intentions snuffed from his mind like a candle in a howling gale. Using this Charm, the Abyssal may deny a single dice action from the target. The action is cancelled and the dice action fueling it is lost, but the victim need not pay the costs for any Charms which he had intended to use alongside with the action. Courage-Snuffing Denial must be activated immediately after the targetted dice action has been declared. This Charm has no effect on targets with Permament Essence higher than the Abyssal's.

Heart-Shattering (Caste) Majesty
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Presence: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Charm Prerequisites: Elegant Tyrant's Majesty
Instilled with the grace of the Abyss and the majesty of Dead Primordials, Abyssals walk around with such a world-ending bearing that they shatter the heart of those who dare to stand in their way. When making a particular Virtue or Willpower roll in response to the Exalt's action, opponents of lower or equal Permanent Essence must immediately spend a point of temporary Willpower and then roll at +1 difficulty, or else fail outright. If they have no temporary Willpower, they are assumed to have botched, rather than failed.

This roll affected by this Charm varies by the Caste purchased; Dusks challenge rolls in Valor, Midnights in Temperance, Daybreaks in Compassion, Days in Conviction, and Moonshadows in Willpower. This Charm may be purchased multiple times (its prerequisite increasing by one each time) but the first purchase must match the Exalt's Caste.
