Isidoros charges endlessly through the Demon City, and his rampages trample all before him to twisted wreckage. None are so foolish as to stand before the Black Boar That Twists The Skies as he moves. This Charm grants several benefits. The Infernal deals levels of bashing damage equal to <nowiki>[(Essence)x(# of purchases of this Charm + # of iterations of a size-increasing mutation the character possesses)]</nowiki> to all inanimate objects he collides with as the conclusion of a Dash action. The Infernal adds a number of dice to their pools to resist Blockade Movement actions equal to the number of times they have purchased this Charm. When the Infernal collides with another being while taking a Dash action <i>outside</i> of a Blockade Movement scenario, they add (Essence) automatic successes to their roll to resist knockdown.
* The Infernal's dashes are unaffected by fatigue or wound penalties, and by external penalties from terrain type (e.g. movement through or immersion in bodies of water, mud, dust pits, tar pits, quicksand, etc.).
 
* Whenever the Infernal collides with something while dashing (or moving by another means at a speed greater than that of his standard Move action), it takes dice of bashing damage equal to the Infernal's (Essence + number of times the Infernal has purchased this Charm+the number of size-increasing mutations or other effects affecting the Infernal). Against inanimate objects, this damage pool increases by (distance in yards the Infernal had moved previously in that action). If the unfortunate object or being is destroyed or suffers knockback or knockdown, the Infernal's dash continues unimpeded. If not, the Infernal's movement is arrested, and he may take damage as appropriate.
 
* Mortal extras now count as inanimate objects for the purposes of Charms that damage only inanimate objects, or damage inanimate objects differently.
 
 
This Charm may be purchased a maximum number of times equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence score.

From time to time, the great serpents Kidunga and Chikalla, lesser souls of Isidoros, will rise from the dust of Malfeas to strike at Isidoros' heels, but he is their master and smites them dead each time. In a similar manner the Infernal reacts at the speed of rage to an attack against them. The Infernal gains a counterattack at full dice pool against an unexpected attack against them.

Isidoros' passing is turbulent and calamitous. In his wake, space and time themselves are shredded, just as is the stone of the Demon City. This Charm may be activated when the Infernal dashes. Debris are thrown up from the surface underfoot out a number of yards equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence score, as an environmental hazard with Damage (number of times Infernal has taken World-Trampling Advancex2)B, Trauma (Essence). At first, the debris plume only causes damage on hard earth. At Essence 3+, the Infernal can cause damage when dashing across such surfaces as water, sand, or thatched roofs. At Essence 4+, the Infernal can cause shockwaves in the very warp and weft of Creation itself even when charging across thin air. A second purchase of this Charm at Essence 3+ makes the damage of the environmental effect lethal, as stone shatters into razor shards, water boils into steam, and the air itself bursts into black flame under the Infernal's hooves.

As the Infernal runs, a wake of scab-red Essence spreads out behind them, shattering the road and warping the ground into twisted and tortured ruin. The wake of the Infernal's passage is so ruined that it is nigh-impassable. For the duration of a single foot journey, the difficulty of any rolls to track the Infernal using this Charm becomes 0, even in a location as chaotic as the Deep Wyld. However, any pursuers calculate travel speed as if they were moving through difficult terrain.

Osseous Pasiap ceaselessly clutches all things within Creation to himself, binding the air itself to him in his vainglorious greed. Isidoros' might is not so little that the feeble pawings of the bitch Gaia's traitor spawn impede him in the slightest.

Lesser beings tread only on the paths set out for them, whether out of a desire for convenience or because the signs say "stay off the grass." Isidoros scoffs at them. Roads? What a foolish concept.

Lesser beings may clamber through the trail of wreckage he leaves (for what obstacle could survive his passing?), but the Black Boar paves his own way. The Infernal may make Dash and Move actions in three dimensions for the duration of this Charm, so long as he moves along a solid surface. At Essence 4, this restriction disappears and the Infernal may tread even on the air itself.

Isidoros Charms

First Isidoros Excellency
Cost: 1m per
Type: Reflexive (Step 1 for attacker, Step 2 for defender)
Duration: Instant
Keywords: Combo-OK
Minima: Essence 1
Prerequisites: None

The Black Boar That Twists The Skies is relentless in his unstoppable advance. Isidoros never retreats; instead, he will smash through his problems and come out the other side. He is brash and loud. Strife and competition are his natural environment. His titanic arrogance exceeds even his titanic form. The Sky-Twister is a creature of base desire: he is the original Beast. He is lawless; more, he is anarchy embodied. Isidoros respects no authority but might, and none within Creation or without have matched his for an Age. Isidoros hates Fate, and by extension all systems of law. He is an iconoclast, and he holds in contempt the loyal, the pious, and the humble. He delights in disorder for its own sake and looks kindly on ambition and pride. You can hear him coming, but by that time it is too late to get out of the way. Isidoros is utterly reckless and completely self-centered, and he will not be swayed from his course. He is impulsive, but predictable. He is tireless. The Black Boar That Twists the Skies is an irresistible force. Unlike many of the other Yozis, he does not demand submission. Rather the opposite: he welcomes all challengers. In fact, Isidoros craves opposition, which aside from emulation is the only form of worship he recognizes. He will not always play fair, but he will play by the rules as he understands them.
Isidoros' Excellency may enhance any actions taken to self-aggrandize or to beat an opponent at their own game. Most destructive feats of strength are valid, It may also be used to pilot any large First Age ground vehicle, or enhance a ramming action taken with any vehicle. Isidoros' Excellency may not be used to supplement any actions taken in service to another. It may not enhance any action that preserves a system of law, or any authority other than the Infernal's own. It may not be used to arrest or stop the Infernal's motion. It may enhance any action taken to oppose a Sidereal or divine agent of the Bureau of Destiny in the faithful execution of their duties, or any action taken by a being with a score in the Destiny background that furthers said Destiny. The Sky-Twister's sacred number is six.

Minima: Essence 3
Prerequisites: First Isidoros Excellency

The Black Boar That Twists the Skies is the proverbial irresistible force. Nothing impedes his rampage. Whenever the Infernal stunts, any penalties applied to the roll or static rating decrease by the stunt's rating (external first, then internal) before the stunt dice are added.


World-Trampling Advance

Keywords: None
Minima: Essence 2
Prerequisites: None

Isidoros charges endlessly through the Demon City, and his rampages trample all before him to twisted wreckage. None are so foolish as to stand before the Black Boar That Twists The Skies as he moves. This Charm grants several benefits. The Infernal deals levels of bashing damage equal to [(Essence)x(# of purchases of this Charm + # of iterations of a size-increasing mutation the character possesses)] to all inanimate objects he collides with as the conclusion of a Dash action. The Infernal adds a number of dice to their pools to resist Blockade Movement actions equal to the number of times they have purchased this Charm. When the Infernal collides with another being while taking a Dash action outside of a Blockade Movement scenario, they add (Essence) automatic successes to their roll to resist knockdown. This Charm may be purchased a maximum number of times equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence score.

Snake-Neck Heel Strike

From time to time, the great serpents Kidunga and Chikalla, lesser souls of Isidoros, will rise from the dust of Malfeas to strike at his heels, but he is their master and smites them dead each time. In a similar manner, the Infernal reacts at the speed of rage to an attack against them. The Infernal gains a counterattack at full dice pool against an unexpected attack against them.

Stone-Churning Charge
Cost: 4m
Type: Reflexive

Keywords: Combo-OK, Inertia, Obvious
Minima: Essence 2
Prerequisites: World-Trampling Advance

Isidoros' passing is turbulent and calamitous. In his wake, space and time themselves are shredded, just as is the stone of the Demon City. This Charm may be activated when the Infernal dashes. Debris are thrown up from the surface underfoot out a number of yards equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence score, as an environmental hazard with Damage (number of times Infernal has taken World-Trampling Advancex2)B, Trauma (Essence). At first, the debris plume only causes damage on hard earth or stone. At Essence 3+, the Infernal can cause damage when dashing across such surfaces as water, sand, or thatched roofs. At Essence 4+, the Infernal can cause shockwaves in the very warp and weft of Creation itself even when charging across thin air or supernaturally durable surfaces such as manse floors or surfaces made of the magical materials. A second purchase of this Charm at Essence 3+ makes the damage of the environmental effect lethal, as stone shatters into razor shards, water boils into steam, and the air itself bursts into black flame under the Infernal's hooves.

Prerequisites: Sky-Twisting Hoof

The Black Boar That Twists the Skies condescends to allow his servants to assume for a time some of his terrible glory. The Infernal's form explodes into a titanic black boar, as high at the shoulder as a man is tall, with thorny bristles and eyes like fire. Their Strength and Stamina scores increase by 2 each, the increased value counting as natural Attribute scores for the purposes of dice-adders. The character gains the Wolf's Pace, Tusks, Thick Hide and Hooves mutations. All Isidoros Charms with World-Trampling Advance as a prerequisite cost half motes while this Charm is in effect, and for the purposes of said Charm, the Infernal's dice pools increase by 2. Material possessions disappear Elsewhere as per Lunar shapeshifting.
A second purchase of this Charm at Essence 5+ modifies the mutation package, with Hooves being replaced by Great Hooves and Thick Hide by Armored Hide. The Infernal's tusk attack increases its Damage and Defense by (his permanent Essence), and its rate by 2. His World-Trampling Advance pools increase 2 dice further. He gains 1x-1/1x-2 temporary health levels, which are lost first as per usual. A third and final purchase at Essence 6+ grants him the Extra Legs and Acute Sense (Smell) mutations, +2 more dice to his World-Trampling Advance pools, +2 Rate to his tusk attacks, +2B/2L soak and +(Ess)B/(Ess)L Hardness.

Branding With Anarchy
Cost: 5m, 1wp
Type: Simple
Duration: Indefinite
Keywords: Obvious, Touch
Minima: Essence 4
Prerequisites: Sky-Twisting Hoof

With a palm or a heel pressed to their forehead, the Infernal grants a prostrate supplicant (with an Essence score less than his own) the blessing of Isidoros. A black hoofprint sears itself onto the target's forehead, inflicting a level of unsoakable lethal damage but leaving no visible wound. The recipient now bears a Juggernaut caste mark on their brow in the sight of those who can perceive Essence flows. For the duration of this Charm, the target is outside Fate. Astrological effects cease to affect him for the duration, and thaumaturgic divinations and astrological tracking effects automatically fail. Sidereals accumulate points of Paradox equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence upon their return to Fate. This Charm affects only willing targets.
A second purchase of this Charm expands its functionality. For a cost of 15m, 1wp, the Infernal may also grant a mortal recipient an Essence pool of 10 motes and the use of the First Isidoros Excellency for the Charm's duration. Using the Charm in this way decreases its Duration to a maximum of six days and is a Desecration effect.

Latent Force Mantle
Cost: -
Type: Permanent
Duration: Permanent

Minima: Essence 2
Prerequisites: World-Trampling Advance

Even when a Juggernaut is still, their terrible destructive force waits, held back by the barest threads of restraint. The Infernal may now deal damage with World-Trampling Advance at the conclusion of a Move action as well as at the conclusion of a Dash action. The Infernal adds (Essence) additional automatic successes to his pools to resist Blockade Movement actions.

Meteoric Descent
Cost: 4m
Type: Reflexive (Step 10)
Duration: Instant
Keywords: Combo-OK
Minima: Essence 3
Prerequisites: Latent Force Mantle

Isidoros is the unstoppable force, and does not suffer being opposed by anything so puny as impact. The inertia of other things is subsumed by his infinite momentum. When he jumps off a cliff, wise onlookers worry about the welfare of the ground. This Charm perfectly negates all bashing damage from a fall or an impact such as would be caused by Heaven Thunder Hammer or Crack the Sky. The damage that the Infernal would otherwise have taken is instead added to his World-Trampling Advance damage pools against the surface or object he collided with.

One True Path Understanding
Cost: 3m
Type: Reflexive
Duration: One Scene
Keywords: Combo-OK
Minima: Essence 3
Prerequisites: Meteoric Descent

Lesser beings tread only on the paths set out for them, whether out of a desire for convenience or because the signs say "stay off the grass." Isidoros scoffs at them. Roads? What a foolish concept. It's almost as bad as laws. The only true road is wherever Isidoros chooses to tread. Lesser beings may clamber through the trail of wreckage he leaves (for what obstacle could survive his passing?), but the Black Boar paves his own way. The Infernal may make Dash and Move actions in three dimensions for the duration of this Charm, so long as he moves along a solid surface. At Essence 4, this restriction disappears and the Infernal may tread even on the air itself.
