Nekomimi-Maiden/EbonDragon
Gleeful Animosity Revelment
Mins: Ess 3, Cost: --
Duration: Permanent
Keywords: --
Type: Permanent
Prerequisites: Shadow Spite Curse
Nothing pleases the Ebon Dragon quite so much as witnessing his enemies struggling and failing before him. When an enemy's action fails as a result of being affected by the Infernal's Shadow Spite Curse, she regains 2m per threshold success they failed by. She may not recover more than 20 motes per action from this source.
Illimitable Boundless Enmity
Mins: Ess 3, Cost: 5m1wp (+5 or 10m)
Duration: One scene
Keywords: Combo-OK
Type: Simple
Prerequisites: Shadow Spite Curse
For the Ebon Dragon, spite and malevolence are as natural as breathing is for a mortal. For the scene following the activation of this charm, use of Shadow Spite Curse is a noncharm, innate ability.
If the Infernal benefits from this mote reduction [she may choose not to], her lessened attention creates an imperfection in the charm: her target may expend a virtue channel in order to completely negate the effects of Shadow Spite Curse for a single roll; heroism and virtue defy the very essence of the Ebon Dragon.
This charm may be purchased a second time at Essence 5; for every 5m committed to the charm, Shadow Spite Curse costs 1 less mote per -1 external penalty applied; thus for a commitment of 15m, the Infernal may impose an external penalty equal to her Essence on any appropriate action she witnesses, without cost.
Safety Among Stooges

Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Cracked Cell Circumvention
The Ultimate Darkness is an elusive, misleading force; armies attempting to strike him may find themselves cutting down their brothers as he laughs from afar. This charm may be used whenever an attack is reduced to zero or fewer successes by the Infernal's DV; he may choose any target that would be valid for the attacker [within arm's reach for a sword, or possibly anywhere on the battlefield for an archer], and subject them to the original attack with full successes. For +1m, he may malevolently add his Essence in successes to the attack roll.
Whether he makes the treacherous attack strike more viciously or not, the Infernal gets an immediate, reflexive attempt to reestablish surprise, which contests perfect awareness effects, forcing the user to make a contested roll. If the redirected attack strikes one of his supposed allies, he may add his Essence in successes to the reestablishing roll.
