Nothing may bar the Moon. Like Luna moves unimpeded in the night sky, so the Lunars walk upon Creation, and woe betide the gate that attempts to bar their way. Using this Charm, the Lunar strikes an inanimate object with a roar of fury! The Lunar doubles his raw damage(his damage, plus any extra successes) against inanimate objects, before soak is applied, or doubles his Strength+Athletics for feats of strength that involve destroying objects. This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 2 motes, giving its benefits for the Duration.

Deep within the Imperial Mountain the small diamond beetle digs endlessly through even the hardest stone and white jade. Locals call the beetle burrowing devil even as it leads them to rich veils for new mines. Lunars mimic this capability by striking with such force that their strikes tear through armor to strike at the soft flesh beneath. An attack enhanced by this Charm becomes piercing. This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 2 motes, making all attacks piercing for the duration of the Fury.

As hunters, Lunars know well how to break the shells of their prey. And as they break inward, they send their splinters into the soft, unprotected insides of their prey. Building upon this principle, the Lunar charges his strike with essence, breaking the shell of his victim and sending its slivers, charged with silver essence, into his opponent's body. The Lunar makes a close combat attack as normal, but ignores all soak provided by his opponent's armor. If he strikes mundane armor, is breaks, and not only does it not provide any protection, but the Lunar increases his base damage by the armor's lethal soak value.
