Lunar Animal Control
Beast Calming Method
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Charisma: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Silver-Soul's Charisma
The Lunar is able to use his base charisma to instinctively pacify any animals around him, be them a pack of ravenous wolves, angry bees, or fleeing rabbits. The roll to pacify animals is Charisma+Survival, one success allowing the Lunar to walk without making rabbits and birds flee, three successes allowing a pack of wolves to be pacified, and five successes making even a Tyrant Lizard or a Giant Squid stand down and become as a kitten to the Lunar.
It lasts as long as the Lunar remains with the beast, and for a scene afterwards. The Lunar may attempt to Tame or Train the animal thus calmed, rolling only once per scene with it, even if the interval would be of days or weeks, and convering all of his Charisma dice into automatic successes.
Pack-Forming Presence

Duration: A Lunar Month
Type: Simple
Minimum Charisma: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Beast-Calming Method
The Lunar is able to tie a number of beasts to his Essence, making them serve him in all things. The Lunar rolls may command a number of beasts equal to his Charisma x10. To bind each one the Lunar needs make a Charisma+Survival at standard difficulty, and instantly pays 3 motes of Essence, after this Charm is activated. For the purposes of this ammount, two Small beasts count as one, five Tiny beasts count as one, and ten Minuscule beasts count as one. In the same token, a Large beast counts as two, a Huge beast counts as four, and a Giant beast counts as eight.
Commanded beasts do not fear fire, the lands of death, or any other thing that would give normal animals pause, and stop only when the Lunar wishes them to. Mounts will accept any riders the Lunar deems acceptable. The animals can understand the Lunar's commands, and he can understand all that they communicate to him. This Charm lasts for a Lunar Month, but at the end of it the Lunar can just pay the cost once again and retain his commnad. If used on a Beast and the Lunar spends 1 experience point, he may create a Familiar, or increase his familiar rating with the beast by one.

Alpha Majesty Attittude
Cost: 3 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Charisma: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Bestial Soul Meditation, Pack-Forming Presence
The Lunar, in harmony with the Beast within, empowers it with Essence, turning his idealized version of his totem animal into a majestic beast, a king of his kind, second only to an Animal Avatar. While the Lunar is in his Totem Form, all members of his species that meet the Lunar will pay deference to him, never harm him, unless the Lunar provokes such( and even then they will stop the attack as soon as they can ) and obey any of his commands, long as they are not suicidal. Familiars are exempt from this, but they still feel compelled to help. This converts half the Lunar’s Essence(rounded up) in dice in automatic successes on any roll using Charisma with Lunars of a totem in the same species, Familiars, or spirits of a like disposition.
King of Nature Attittude
Cost: 6 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Charisma: 5
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Alpha Majesty Stance
The Lunar Totem's majesty now exceeds beyond the realm of his own species - while he is in his Totem Form, all those of his same family ( All lupines, or all felines, or all arachnids...) who meet the Lunar pay deference to him, and will not do him or his’ any harm, unless the Lunar provokes such( and even then they will stop the attack as soon as they can ) and obey any of his commands, as long as they are not suicidal. Familiars are exempt from this, but they still feel compelled to help. This converts half the Lunar’s Essence( rounded up ) in dice in automatic successes on any roll using Charisma with Lunars of a totem in the same family, Familiars, or spirits of a like disposition. Moreover, he is respected by all those in his midst – prey runs away from him if he is a predator, predators stay away from him if he is prey. When said predators or prey are being forced by others – hounds on a leash, warhorses – to attack the Lunar, they need to make a Valor roll at difficulty 2. Familiars do need to make this roll.

Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Charisma: 5

The Lunar's Majesty transcends the realm of beasts, and he becomes the living embodiment of his species, second to none - only the Animal Avatars are his equals. When in his Totem Form, the Lunar may not be harmed by those of the same species as his own, no matter what he does, and he may issue even suicidal commands to them. Familiars now obey his commands, as long as they are not suicidal, or to attack the Familiar's master. This converts the Lunar’s Essence in dice in automatic successes on any roll using Charisma with Lunars of a totem in the same species, Familiars, or spirits of a like disposition.
