  • Duration: Instant
  • Type: Subtle/Mental
  • Minimum Archery: 2

Your Moe hones your arrow's keenness; add your Moe to the base damage of the arrow.

  • Type: Subtle/Mental
  • Minimum Archery: 3
  • Minimum Moe: 2
  • Prerequisite Charms: Keen Arrow

The Power of Heaven flows through your arrow, adding +2 to pre-soak damage for every mote you invest to a limit of your Moe. This extra damage is doubled against demons, ghosts, Alien Princesses/Princes, and other things from outside Creation. (Except Robot Girls, who are not unholy.)

This arrow does hideous things to those things that come from beyond (as per Holy Arrow of Wrath). Double extra successes before adding to pre-soak damage. This damage is aggravated to such creatures. Furthermore, such creatures lose your Moe in motes for every post-soak damage die inflicted. (IE, multiply your Moe times the post-soak damage dice before they are rolled, it loses that many motes.)

  • Duration: Instant

  • Minimum Archery: 3
  • Minimum Moe: 2

Every armor has its joints and cracks. This shot seeks them out. Roll your Dex + Archery + any extra successes to hit after defense is determined. The difficulty is your foe's Moe. Every success reduces the soak of the armor by one against this shot.
