Charm Concept: Imperfection

The charms of God Blooded are unique in scope and often self-taught extensions of who they are. Typically they only work in a certain way, or at a certain time or against certain foes. The Excellencies are a notable exception from this, as are more powerful "all encompassing charms" that always work regardless of the circumstances. Generally however these charms have higher prerequisites and impose additional costs in motes and willpower.
