Prerequisite Charms: Any Melee Excellency
For a moment the Vizier can see the secret flaws in his enemies defense and can strike at them to keep his defense at its weakest. This charm supplements a single attack or a flurry of attacks. For each attack made the Sidereal spends 2m. The enemy suffers the total Onslaught penalty to their DV that they would have suffered at the end of the attacks. So used to enhance a single attack the enemy suffers a -1 DV penalty while a flurry of four attacks would cost 8m and give their foe a DV penalty of 4 against each attack.
