MartialArts/TheQuiver
This is not a complete martial art. Rather, it is but one branch of the Fivefold Way of Battles Style.
Versatile Wit - The Quiver
The Quiver carries a bow or a map case. He is clever and witty. His valor is not so important as his education.
Strategy, choices, haste, pride, archery, boorishness, self-absorption, clever ideas, duelists
Characters who learn these Charms as if they were Sidereal Charms may freely Combo them with Sidereal Archery Charms. Such a character may also choose to substitute her Archery Ability for the Martial Arts Ability any time the Charms of the Quiver call for a use of the Martial Arts Ability, other than for the purposes of meeting the minimum Ability requisite for learning the Charms.

Opportune Moment
Cost: 4 motes Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Minimum Martial Arts: 5 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Unnamed Quiver Charm 1
The martial artist launches an unarmed Martial Arts counterattack, using his full dice pool, at a single opponent within range that has already attacked the martial artist during the scene. This Charm may not be activated more than once to respond to a single attack by an enemy.
The Ninth Direction
Cost: 4 motes Duration: Instant Type: Supplemental Minimum Martial Arts: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Fivefold Way of Battles Form
Though an adversary may be ready in eight directions, there is always a ninth one to approach from, eluding even the most cunning opponents. Attacks enhanced with this Charm are considered unpercieved, greatly limiting the defensive options of most opponents. Furthermore, counterattacks may not be used in response to this attack.
