To properly mold people and cultures, some times one must convince their gods. But Lunars have their priestesses, and they are able to bring about their powers to convince Spirits to do great things for them! This Charm supplements a prayer roll as a ritual that takes a Lunar Phase to enact, in which the Lunar spends and commits a number of health levels equal to the Essence of the Spirit. At the conclusion of the ritual, she rolls her  prayer with a difficulty equal to the Spirit's Essence. Every two successes received give the Spirit a powerful boon of Essence, such as Ambrosia for Yu-Shan Gods. However, to collect the boons, the Spirit must accept to owe the Exalted a Favor. This favor must fall under the aupicious of the Lunar Phase this Charm was used in(One would ask for War in the Full Moon, and for protection in the Waxing Moon), and is equivalent to how much power one would get from a dot of Allies, with one boon requiring menial favors of one like the Exalted, and five boons requiring the Spirit to pour all of its might, asking and bargaining for more if such legendary help is usually behind its capabilities.

The Lunar focuses on his beauty, her form becoming a shimmering, flaring with beauty and wonder! While employing this Charm, the Lunar substitutes her Dexterity for her Appearance while making a close combat attack. Moreover, the opponent has to pass a Temperance roll or be unable to defend, staring transfixed as the Lunar strikes. Opponents that are already blind are not affected by the flare, but it is too fast for one to close his eyes in response to it. They may do so in response to the activation of a combo they recognize this Charm to be part of, however.

The Lunar shifts his shape into something glorious, resplendent, her physical shape changing with great bright plumage to show her grandeur. After this Charm is activated, all those around the Lunar receive a penalty equal to half her Appearance, rounded up, in any Social or Agressive action against her, and need to suceed in a reflexive Conviction roll to attack the Lunar unless she has struck first. The Waxing Moon anima power explicitly adds to the Appearance for purposes of this Charm. It has no effect on automata and beings unable to appreciate beauty, but closing one's eyes does not protect against the effects of the Plumage, as it relies on things unseen, such as pheromones, as much as the physical change - it is a beauty ''felt'' as much as seen. This Charm is a ''Gift'' and may be activated in tandem with a Hybrid Form by commiting 4 motes, giving the Lunar its benefits while in the Hybrid Form.

Using this Charm, a Lunar can focus the attention of those in the immediate vicinity upon himself without speaking. Doing so requires a Appearance+Presence roll. All characters who can perceive her and whose Temperance is less than the number of successes rolled received the Essence-driven equivalent of a 'look at me'. Those subjects find their attention focused oon the Lunar and instinctively look into his eyes where possible. The Lunar may be specific on who gets the call. A target may spend a point of willpower to negate this Charm's effects.

The Lunar's beautiful form becomes alluring, hypnotic, drawing one to follow her anywhere she goes. The Lunar rolls her Apperance+Performance to target a number of targets no greater than her Essence x10, who resist with a reflexive Wits+Awareness roll. Then she moves, and those who failed this roll move after her, ignoring the world around them, if possible walking around any and all obstacles. Distractions, such as someone trying to wake them from their reverie and being led into danger(such as a storm or a cliff) prompt another such roll, but the successes to break from it do not accumulate - it is an all or nothing attempt. Any physical harm will bring them back to their senses, but while entranced they defend against all attacks as if they were unaware.

The Spirit must behold the Lunar as she shifts her shape into a perfect nothing so much as pure Ambrosia for the barest of instants! This Charm generates a Prayer Roll of Appearance+Performance in a ritual that takes the Spirit's Essence rating in hours during which the Spirit must behold the Lunar's Ambrosial Radiance. If the Lunar has suceeded on the roll at the conclusion of the ritual she must spend Health Levels equal to the Essence of the Spirit as a gift of her own Exalted Essence and the Ambrosia her body now exists as!

The Spirit recovers its entire Willpower and Essence pools and recovers a number of Health Levels (even of Aggravated Damage) equal to the Lunar's Essence. This also increases the Spirit's wealth considerably in Heaven. The God who receives such a gift is indebted to the Lunar - it must fulfill one favor per three successes rolled past the Prayer Roll's Difficulty. This favor must fall under the auspices of the Lunar Phase this Charm is used in (a favor of War or Hunt would be asked during the Full Moon or a favor of mysteries or knowledge in the No Moon).

The Spirit has to fulfill the favor asked unless it involves spending irreplaceable resources or suffering permanent damage.

The Lunar makes minute changes to her form, becoming so beautiful as to be hypnotic to all who gaze upon her form. The Lunar makes an Appearance+Performance roll; With at least one success, all those who can see her can do nothing else but to watch her, losing all awareness of their surroundings, and as long as she mantains the Performance, it is nearly impossible to look away. Every turn, they can spend 1 Willpower as a simple action to roll their Temperance+Essence, and the fascination is only broken when they have accumulated as many successes in their willpower rolls as the Lunar did on her Performance roll. They are broken out of their reverie by any physical action taken against them, but while entranced they defend against all attacks as if they were unaware.

Some are perceptive enough to witness a Lunar's Tell. They pierce the veil of the Lunar's illusion and shapeshifting and see the anchor of their True Soul... but crafty Lunars learn to deceive even those. Secrets of Beateous Moonlight makes the Tell's discovery be the sight of some endlessly beautiful and thrilling secret, with a smile and a wink from the Lunar. Something that should not be shared with others, but treasured... such a secret that can only be whispered with its holder. When an opponent notices her Tell, the Lunar may activate this Charm and roll her Appearance+Essence in a constested roll against the opponent's Willpower. If the Lunar wins, the opponent will not tell anyone of her Tell. He may only watch the Lunar from afar, needing to succeed in a Temperance roll at difficulty 2 to initiate any social action against the Lunar, and having a hard time not following the Lunar if she beckons. The opponent makes a new Temperance roll every dawn, and when he achieves as many successes as the Lunar's success margin on the contest, he is free from the effects of this Charm, able to tell anyone about the Lunar's Tell. A botch makes the effects last for a Lunar month.

Attraction

Irresistible Silver Spirit
Cost: 4 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Task
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: None
When a Lunar focus his efforts, he can accomplish great feats in molding people and cultures. Activating this Charm, the character's personality becomes attractive to those around her. People want to help her, the things she says make more sense and she seems very convincing, wether she acts outgoing and positive or distantly alluring.

When the character activates this Charm, the player declares a single objective she can accomplish through the use of social prowess. While this Charm is active, she adds one success to all rolls related to the chosen objective and ignores all fatigue penalties. The Lunar also increases her dice-adding limits to her Attribute+Essence while this Charm is in force.

Until the object it attained, the character must make a successful Willpower roll in order to take actions not related to her chosen focus for a scene. All such actions receive a penalty of -2 dice. Ending the Charm before concluding the project requires a Willpower roll with a difficulty equal to the Lunar’s own Temperance, which can only be attempted once per scene.

This Charm is a Focus and is incompative with the activation of any other Focus-Type Charm.

Moreover, the opponent has to pass a Temperance roll or be unable to defend, staring transfixed as the Lunar strikes. Opponents that are already blind are not affected by the flare, but it is too fast for one to close his eyes in response to it. They may do so in response to the activation of a combo they recognize this Charm to be part of, however.

After this Charm is activated, all those around the Lunar receive a penalty equal to half her Appearance, rounded up, in any Social or Agressive action against her, and need to suceed in a reflexive Conviction roll to attack the Lunar unless she has struck first. The Waxing Moon anima power explicitly adds to the Appearance for purposes of this Charm. It has no effect on automata and beings unable to appreciate beauty, but closing one's eyes does not protect against the effects of the Plumage, as it relies on things unseen, such as pheromones, as much as the physical change - it is a beauty felt as much as seen.

Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Appearance: 3

Prerequisite Charms: None
Using this Charm, a Lunar can focus the attention of those in the immediate vicinity upon himself without speaking. Doing so requires a Appearance+Presence roll. All characters who can perceive her and whose Temperance is less than the number of successes rolled received the Essence-driven equivalent of a 'look at me'.

Pied Piper Mien
Cost: 4 motes
Duration: Varies
Type: Simple
Minimum Appearance: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Attention-Demanding Presence
The Lunar's beautiful form becomes alluring, hypnotic, drawing one to follow her anywhere she goes. The Lunar rolls her Apperance+Performance to target a number of targets no greater than her Essence x10, who resist with a reflexive Wits+Awareness roll. Then she moves, and those who failed this roll move after her, ignoring the world around them, if possible walking around any and all obstacles. Distractions, such as someone trying to wake them from their reverie and being led into danger(such as a storm or a cliff) prompt another such roll, but the successes to break from it do not accumulate - it is an all or nothing attempt. Any physical harm will bring them back to their senses, but while entranced they defend against all attacks as if they were unaware. This Charm has no effect on targets with a greater Permanent Essence than the Lunar.

Ambrosial Radiance
Cost: 10 motes, 1+ Health Levels
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Appearance: 4
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Attention-Demanding Presence
Sometimes Gods exist to be convinced more than honored - and Luna's children know how to be quite persuasive!

The Spirit must behold the Lunar as she shifts her shape into a perfect nothing so much as pure Ambrosia for the barest of instants! This Charm generates a Prayer Roll of Appearance+Performance in a ritual that takes the Spirit's Essence rating in hours during which the Spirit must behold the Lunar's Ambrosial Radiance. If the Lunar has suceeded on the roll at the conclusion of the ritual she must spend Health Levels equal to the Essence of the Spirit as a gift of her own Exalted Essence and the Ambrosia her body now exists as!

The Spirit recovers its entire Willpower and Essence pools and recovers a number of Health Levels (even of Aggravated Damage) equal to the Lunar's Essence. This also increases the Spirit's wealth considerably in Heaven. The God who receives such a gift is indebted to the Lunar - it must fulfill one favor per three successes rolled past the Prayer Roll's Difficulty. This favor must fall under the auspices of the Lunar Phase this Charm is used in (a favor of War or Hunt would be asked during the Full Moon or a favor of mysteries or knowledge in the No Moon).

The Spirit has to fulfill the favor asked unless it involves spending irreplaceable resources or suffering permanent damage.

Type: Reflexive
Minimum Appearance: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Pleasing Shape Method, Attention-Demanding Presence
Master of minute changes to his shape, the Lunar is able to communicate without words, by manner of a body language that shifts to communicate silently. The victim must be able to see the Lunar, and the Lunar may not communicate complex thoughts or conduct a speech, so may not make an eloquent point, but may attempt to intimidate, seduce, call attention to himself, make new friends or poison the waters against someone present(by conveying disdain or distaste with his motions). One may roll as normal, but may not roll more attribute dice than his Appearance for those attempts. Those specifically watching the Lunar as he uses this Charm may roll Perception+Socialize, with a difficulty equal to the Lunar's Manipulation, to notice him. All those directly affected by the Lunar get this roll, and they do not notice the manipulation of their opinions unless the Lunar wishes them to.

Graceful Butterfly Dance
Cost: 4 motes
Duration: Varies
Type: Simple
Minimum Appearance: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Attention-Demanding Presence

Every turn, they can spend 1 Willpower as a simple action to roll their Temperance+Essence, and the fascination is only broken when they have accumulated as many successes in their willpower rolls as the Lunar did on her Performance roll. They are broken out of their reverie by any physical action taken against them, but while entranced they defend against all attacks as if they were unaware.

Sealed Silver Lips
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Varies
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Appearance: 4
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Graceful Butterfly Dance, Silent Speech Method
Some men are cunning enough to pierce the veil and behold the Lunar's Tell, the anchor of their True Soul, and expose a Moonchild for what they truly are... but the Lunar's cunning allows her to silence even those with a most dangerous beguilement!

This Charm can be activated at the moment an opponent notices the Lunar's Tell and generates a Appearance+Socialize roll that has a Difficulty of the victim's Willpower score.
