Lunar Shapeshifting Charms

Lunar Blood Curse</b>

<b>Cost: 10 motes, 1 Willpower, 1 lethal health level, 2 experience points
Type: Simple
Duration: Instant
Min. Manipulation: 5
Min. Essence: 5
Prereqs: Wondrous Lunar Transformation

Anointing his victim with a spray of blood, the Lunar using this Charm may lock an offender into the shape of his choosing (which must be in the Lunar’s library, or might be a series of small, cosmetic changes). This requires a Manipulation + Craft (Body Shaping) roll at a difficulty equal to the target’s Essence. Partial successes indicate that only minor cramping arises; botching causes the Lunar an additional health level of damage. Success inflicts the desired result on the individual. Against mortals and their ilk, this charm is permanent; against Chosen and other magical beings, it lasts only as many seasons as the Lunar’s essence rating, and is likely to grandly irritate any gods or other divinities that the Lunar uses it on. Needless to say, it doesn’t work on tattooed Lunars.

Blood Adoption Baptism</b>

Type: Supplemental
Duration: Instant
Min. Charisma: 5
Min. Essence: 5
Prereqs: Wondrous Lunar Transformation

By anointing a subject with enough blood to lightly cover her body, a Lunar may “adopt” her as a Lunar Half-Caste with an Inheritance rating equal to half the Lunar’s Essence rating, in much the same way that spirits may adopt individuals using the Endowment Charm. The subject’s capabilities are improved, buying up her statistics as if she were in another round of character creation. All bonus points gained in this manner must be spent immediately, and the subject must purchase Awakened Essence and her second dot of Essence with these points (flaws may be acquired to balance trait costs, up to the normal limit of her new Inheritance rating). This Charm may only be used on willing, normal humans or animals, though it can turn them into beastmen, if the Lunar wishes; if so, than the newly anointed Half-Caste is required to buy the necessary mutations, but not Awakened Essence and an additional dot of Essence.
