Lunars are protectors, first and foremost. By touching another and bathing him in her anima, the Lunar pledges herself as the being's Protector. The being becomes the Lunar's Charge. as long as the Lunar mantains the Charm, he knows instantly the direction, distance and physical state of her charge. When protecting the Charge, Charms that actively and directly defend for it, such as Den Mother Method, Pack-Saving Method and any Charm channelled through Mother's Touch cost 1 mote less, and may be used freely, without counting as a Charm use. Any and all Charms that perceive threats against the Lunar also activate as if the Charge was the Lunar. Lunars are very particular in their protection, and thus a single Charge may only be protected by one Sheltering Mantle of Moonlight at any single time.

The Mantle of Moonlight entwines two souls as one. One as a Guard and one as Guarded, as Luna does to her consort, keeping the chaos at bay... and sometimes, a Guard needs more than simply using his powers to physically safeguard. Sometimes, they cannot stop their charges from hurting. Sometimes, they need to give their flesh and blood, their will and soul to booster the one they love. With One Flesh, One Soul, a Lunar may give his Charge any of his Health Levels, Essence or Willpower. Motes of Essence given by the Lunar to his Charge always count as peripheral motes. This is an Intant, Reflexive action that may be activated when his charge is hurt, or when a Charm is used. This Charm may not be used if the charge is farther from the Lunar than (his Essence x100) yards.

Lunar created the Lunars on her love for Creation. An expression of this love is the Lunars' ability to thrive in their relationships. Their societies, their lords, that which they protect. Relationships are sacred to the Moon-Chosen, and one that attempts to hurt them does little more than to call Moon-Blessed fury upon their being! This Charm activates instantly to prevent a non-violent attempt to affect a relationship between the Lunar and another. The Lunar rolls his Charisma+Essence with a difficulty equal to the interloper's Essence - if he suceeds, this attempt fails. This is a Perfect Defense.
Bonds Wrought in Silver does not require the Lunar to be present for it to work - Lunars with this Charm can always feel where their relationships are threatened, as their Charisma permeates those she cares about. If the Lunar wins by a margin greater than the interloper's Essence, the Lunar may commit 1 willpower to be able to sense this interloper anywhere in Creation. As long as it remains committed, the Lunar is aware of their presence at all times, and although leaving Creation will defend one against this sense, it does not dispel the Charm, and the Lunar will know that his quarry has set foot into Creation again on the moment she does.
