Some particular malicious Lunars do need the genes of auspicious people for their breeding projects without them knowing about their contribution. To achieve this, this charm had been invented, allowing a Lunar to store the genetic imprint of a person they had intercourse with for up to a week and use this as the 'father' of the next attempt of impregnation they pursue in an other woman. If the genetic imprint stolen is of an essence user, it takes 2 motes of dedicated essence to keep it alive.

Features of Human shapes from the Hearts Blood Library of the Steward always can be mingled into the genetic imprint at will. Only I the Steward knows Tiger & Sultan’s daughter, it can add beastmen attributes to the stolen imprint under the usual prerequisites of that charm.

Using twin-faced hero to take fitting genders to seduce donor and host mother allowed some of the most interesting cuckoo-child plots and is usually combined with temporary theft of Form.
