Patron-Shedding Ambition
Cost: --, Mins: Ess 3, Type: Permanent
Keywords: Heretical
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: First (Yozi) Excellency, (Yozi) Mythos Exultant, any single Escape charm, all from a yozi other than your caste's Patron or favored yozi (one of All Things Betray, Cracked Cell Circumvention, Freedom Lets go, Solipsistic Rejection of Impossibilities, Sublimation of Ordained Purpose, Will Crushing Force)
The Yozis' understanding of those who they would have become their servants was short-sighted at best; they thought their own viewpoints perfect, and none might ever gainsay their wisdom. But while the stolen Exaltations seek out someone according to their inherent programming, such people may not feel their new Patron resonates best with their own enlightenment and understanding.
Stemming from this disconnect comes this heretical and secret trick, wherein the Warlock's enlightenment in pursuit of another Yozi's wisdom permits them to realign their own essence with a different yozi. Upon learning this charm, the Warlock's Caste yozi changes to another, and their current Caste yozi becomes unfavored.
Their player totals the number of charms they possess from their new Caste Yozi, and subtracts the number of charms possessed from their former Caste Yozi; this, totaled, is multiplied by two to grant them an EXP refund on the cost of purchasing those new charms.
This charm is refunded upon purchase of The Face of the Titans, as that greater redefinition of Caste overwrites this lesser effect.
Example: Mirya is a Fiend possessing only Loom-Snarling Deception from the Ebon Dragon, All Things Betray, and nine charms of Kimbery including her First Excellency [three purchases], and Kimbery Mythos Exultant. Upon learning Patron-Shedding Ambition to realign her Caste with Kimbery, she totals to find she has nine Kimbery charms, less one Ebon Dragon charm. Eight charms of refunded EXP is 16xp. She continues to possess Loom-Snarling Deception.

Oathbreaker's Baptism of Flame
Cost: --, Mins: Ess 3, Type: Permanent
Keywords: Heretical
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Killing Clause Largesse, Magnanimous Warding Brand
Those who break their word are among the vilest of villains; fitting that they should suffer so. This upgrades any gift to whom Killing Clause Largesse's lethal brand of retribution has been applied; the infernal may turn one or more of the lethal attacks the victim suffers into a Magnanimous Warding Brand, which triggers a number of times equal to the number of botches applied, and earns the ability to be invoked by the warlock for free on an attack in addition to harming the target for attacking the warlock.
If the Warlock also knows Fealty-Forcing Mandate, she may impose an additional condition as per that charm when she chooses to use Oathbreaker's Baptism of Flame, permitting the flares to be triggered by that condition.
