Student's Sutra of Names

Once, there was a maiden...
who sat all alone under the wintry skies.
When her enemies came to find her
she reached into her breast to pull out her name
she twisted it into a knife, and when she used it
to cut the ground away from beneath them
she lost it.

Elder Sutra of Names

Once, there was a silent maiden...
who had learned all there was to know.
When I asked her why that was
she looked at me. She did not speak
but her eyes said, It is a silly thing
to hear your own voice.

Conceptual Notes

The Form Charm: ought to be a "defining" technique, i.e. encompass a condensed definition of (the martial artist? his current situation? in which case it would be a changing technique). Like the idea of whirling sutra-rings as a special effects around the MA'ist while it's going.

Withering Exegesis: I like this Charm name. Elder level? Verbal attack, Manipulation + MA with Linguistics as autosux's, unblockable/undodgeable/unsoakable. Supplemental? Maybe some other effect, like held in agony as the Sidereal expounds on the very nature of you in a very biting and critical commentary. Describe a physically aggressive gesture accompanying every "criticism attack".

There are a few ways that Sidereals can rob someone of their name or lose their own. Interaction with this Style? Maybe the person is immune, or maybe even more vulnerable? I like the latter one better, it makes being without a name a bad thing.
