Back to Abyssal Charms or Moonshadow Caste
Flaw Exposing Method
Cost: 6 motes Duration: Instant Type: Simple Minimum Bureaucracy: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Argument-Slaying Remark
The Abyssal can carve holes in any proposition or bureaucratic action of which he disapproves in a single eloquent rebuttal. This charm takes the wind from even the most popular and benevolent legislation, rendering it almost impossible to enact. Everyone who heard the Abyssal's rebuttal becomes convinced that the proposed action was misguided at best, assuming that more negative motives are not attributed instead. The Abyssals points are widely contagious as well, and quickly spread throughout any bureaucratic body or even out into the general population. Only truly heroic or charm-enhanced bureaucratic prowess can force through an action after it has been whittled away with this charm, and even then the action is only undertaken sluggishly and amidst much vocal protest. Such an action has its difficulty increased by the Abyssals Bureaucracy, attracts a good deal of negative attention and only progresses at one half the normal rate.
