Agony's Armor
Cost: 2+ motes, 1 Willpower Duration: One story or until exhausted Type: Reflexive Minimun Heart: 3 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisites: Pyre of Dreams Defense
In shaping battle, spiritual injury is inevitable. But some raksha take the agony of another's story tearing into their Essence, turning that pain into righteous fury, and hammering that fury into powerful armor. Upon taking damage, the raksha may immediately use this charm to harden their wounded being; for every mote spent after the first two, the raksha gains an extra point of soak that applies to all of their Graces. The raksha cannot add more soak than the levels of shaping damage they suffered before activating this Charm, up to a maximum of (Willpower + the damaged Grace's rating).
For every attack that the character suffers (and soaks) after activating this charm, the added soak amount is lowered by the attacker's Essence. The raksha may not activate this charm again until the previous soak pool has been exhausted.
Plot-Smashing Bulwark
Cost: 5 motes, 1 Health Level from chosen Grace, 1 Willpower Duration: One story Type: Reflexive Minimun Heart: 3 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisites: Swallowed Grace Defense
Deep into their being goes a chosen Grace, so deeply that nothing can hope to touch it... not even the raksha themselves. Activating this Charm encapsulates the chosen Grace so strongly that it becomes unreachable to almost all shaping effects. The raksha makes one defense at full pool, adding their Essence in automatic successes. The total amount of successes are then applied against all incoming attacks for the remainder of the charm's duration. This is considered a shaping block, and specifically may defend against normally-unblockable attacks; the raksha may not attempt to block again, but may attempt a dodge if they are capable of doing so.
If the raksha does not own the protected Grace, the one who owns it must consent to the charm's use, else it fails. Even then, they may revoke the charm at any time after permitting its activation.
Adamant Spirit Shield
Cost: 8 motes, 1 Health Level from chosen Grace, 1 Willpower Duration: Two stories Type: Simple Minimun Heart: 3 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisites: Plot-Smashing Bulwark
Sometimes, nothing short of total protection will do. Going even further than its two parent miracles, this Charm seals off the Grace absolutely and completely from the pathetic stories of others; it cannot be targeted in any way by shaping or shaping charms, nor can it be ravished or vexed. However, the raksha themself cannot touch the Grace; its connection to them is so thin that they can barely feel the Virtue attached to it. Until the charm ends, they cannot use Charms of the shielded Grace, cannot channel that Grace's virtue, and have an effective Virtue rating of one for that particular Grace's virtue.
If the raksha does not own the protected Grace, the one who owns it must consent to the charm's use, else it fails. However. this Charm cannot be ended prematurely under any circumstances.
