Eye of the Judge
Cost: 10M, 2G
Duration: Assumption
Type: Reflexive
Min. Essence: 1
Prerequisite: None

Fluff: This charm allows a wyld creature to pass through the gateway Nirakara and exist as a shaped creature within Creation. The wyld creature expands their spirit outwards into the form of the Monster Who Judges. All Creation-Born who gaze upon this being find that to stare overly long into its eye is to face ones own sins head-on.

Crunch: This charm comes in two forms, only one may be chosen when the Assumption is taken and this can't be changed later, the Left Eye of the Outer World and the Right of the Inner World. The Left Eye allows the being to Judge the effects of a targets efforts on others whilst the Right Eye allows the being to Judge the effects of a targets efforts on the targets own self.

Weight of Judgement
Cost: 1G
Duration: One Story
Type: Reflexive
Min. Essence: 1
Prerequisite: Eye of the Judge

Fluff: The Judge becomes the Jury and settles their Eye upon those who approach. To stand before the weight of that Judgement is to know the mettle of ones own will.

Crunch: The Wyld Creature may doom efforts of which it disapproves of to failure by weighing their target down with their own sins. This charm gives the Wyld Creature access to the following ability which affects normal actions rather than shaping actions.

Crawling Sins: For 5 motes, they may impose of environmental penalty equal to their Essence on any witnessed action. This is an Internal Penalty which effects the every physical action the Judge witnesses with their own senses, thus it can be deceived by appropriate checks. This ability also has a special effect dependent on the Eye chosen during the Assumption the Eye of the Judge. Should the Left Eye of the Outer World decrees the total internal pool to below one they may freeze the target in place as they lose that action, though it still counts as having been chosen it is just an automatic failure. When Crawling Sins effects a target this way the Judge's natural attacks lower their speed by 1, to a minimum of 3. This effect lasts until two refreshes of their DV or it can be thrown off completely by spending a Willpower, though the original effects of Crawling Sins still continue on. Should the Right Eye of the Inner World decrees the total internal pool below half its original total they may gain an internal bonus to Social attacks which appeal to the one of the target's Intimacies.This effect lasts until two refreshes of their DV or it can be thrown off completely by spending a Willpower, though the original effects of Crawling Sins still continue on.

Ashes to Ashes
Cost: 1G, 1+Mp
Duration: One Story
Type: Reflexive
Min. Essence: 1
Prerequisite: Eye of the Judge

Fluff: The Jury makes way for the Executioner. Death awaits those who have fallen under that gaze as the steel within it is forged of guillotine and head loping blades.

Crunch: The Judge has (12+Mp) 'points' to distribute among the stats of a new natural attack that uses the character’s Dexterity + Martial Arts pool, if melee, or Dexterity+Archery, if ranged.

Note: The new attack automatically has a Rate of 1 and that the total stats must add up to the points necessary, negatives in one category can give extra points in other categories. This attack can not be a clinch.

Dust to Dust
Cost: 3G
Duration: One Story
Keyword: Martyr
Type: Permanent
Min. Essence: 3
Prerequisite: Eye of the Judge, Ashes to Ashes

Fluff: The Judge may pass on his Eye to another, so long as the one who inherits the Eye in question did not have the Eye in question, so that there would be justice in the world.

Crunch: A Judge who dies may use this to invest a fraction of his Essence into part of his physical form, usually an item of significant 'emotional' value. By doing so another Judge, with the opposite Eye, can inherent the Eye of his fellow along with a number of purchases of Glorious Hero Form equal to the Judges' average Essence +1. However the Item in question will quickly degrade if someone isn't attuned to it and slowly the price for keeping the Item stable climbs to harsh heights. The item degrades after a single day without attunement and for every day after the first the attunement cost, starting at 1, doubles.

Type: Supplemental

Prerequisite: Eye of the Judge, Weight of Judgement

Fluff: A proclamation of pure intent cracks against the world at large as the Judge strikes the very foundation of their target with their inner world's Law.

Crunch: This ability effects each of the Eyes differently. The Left Eye of the Outer World now deals a single Bashing Damage anytime Weight of Judgement activates its special effect, soakable only by Charm Effects. The Right Eye of the Inner World now takes an additional Willpower to ignore outright.
