Blood Driving Arrow Attack</b>
<b>Cost: 2 motes per attack Type: Extra Action Duration: Instant Min Archery: 5 Min Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Piercing Ghost Barb
Firing an arrow into an opponent is a simple task, but firing through one is much harder. By use of this Charm, an Abyssal need not worry about the difficulty of such a task, the malice of the arrow itself flies through victims as if they were air. The character spends 2 motes of Essence for each attack she wishes to make and fires her arrow. Roll normally and apply damage as normal. Any health levels of damage taken by the target transform into a new attack in the form of a bloody arrow exiting the target's body opposite the original point of entry. The blood-arrow attacks a new target with an accuracy equal to the original arrow's extra successes and does a base damage equal to the number of health levels inflicted upon the first target. Extras killed provide only 4 base damage. One blood arrow is created for every two motes spent, but the number of blood arrows can not exceed the archer's Essence. If any one attack inflicts 0 health levels of damage or strikes with no extra successes left over, all further attacks fail to take place and the essence is not considered to have been spent.
Burning the Bonds of Blood</b>
