The Abyssal focuses his tainted malevolence at a single victim within line of sight. While silent anger is sufficient to activate the Charm, the Exalt may receive a stunt bonus for pantomimine a crushing gesture, eloquently pronouncing the doom of his prey or engaging in similarly melodramatic displays. Beings capable of perceiving Essence in use see a glowing tendril of light uncoil from the deathknight's anima and lash into the target's Essence at the speed of thought. To everyone else, the Abyssal simply glares or points his hand and a victim begins screaming. Roll the deathknight's Willpower; this attack cannot be blocked, and any attempt to dodge suffers a -2 dice penalty for the invisible attack unless the victim can see Essence. The attack inflicts a base lethal damage of the character's permanent Essence plus successes on the attack. This damage manifests however the Exalt desires, though many Abyssals favor crushing throats, squeezing brains and snapping bones. Deathknights may also add stunt dice for particularly clever or gruesome descriptions of the suffering they intend to inflict, although the total stunt bonus obtained for well-narrated brutality and supplementary gestures cannot rise above three dice as normal. Non-magical armor provides no protection against this Charm.
