Theft of Essence

Theft of Essence
Cost: 5 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple

Unlike the plasma attack of a Thousand-forged Dragon, Soul-forged and Soul-forging dragons carry with them the breath of the Void, draining the spirits of their prey. The dragon uses dexterity + brawl to direct the terrifying vortex of inky black, doing a base damage of 10, covering a cone shaped area approximately 60 yards long, 15 yards wide and 5 yards high at the terminus: this is soaked with a roll of Permanent Essence. Every point of 'damage' remaining drains 10 points of essence or fraction thereof from the victim, adding 3 motes to the Dragon's essence pool, with remaining levels being applied as levels of Lethal damage, as the void ravages the soul: opponents destroyed by this attack are cast into oblivion, denied Lethe; spirits are permanently destroyed.

This charm is a property of a Soul dragon, and cannot be learned by an Eclipse or Moonshadow Exalt.
