Back to Abyssal Charms or Moonshadow Caste
Voice-Stealing Technique
Cost: 3 motes Duration: Indefinate Type: Simple Minimum Linguistics: 3 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: Language Absorbing Method
With the use of this Charm, the Abyssal can rip the voice from another and take it for himself, speaking in a voice that rightfully belongs to another. The Abyssal simply concentrates on his target, and makes a Manipulation + Linguistics roll with a difficulty equal to the targets permanent Essence. If the Abyssal gains at least one success the targets voice breaks and fades and he is left unable to speak at higher than a whisper for as long as the Abyssal keeps the motes for this charm commited. In addition, the Abyssal may now choose to speak using the targets voice whenever he wishes. It requires a Perception + Awareness roll with a difficulty of the Abyssals (Essence + Linguistics) in order to determine that the Abyssal is not is not in fact the target if one can only hear the Abyssals stolen voice.
The difficulty to use Language Absorbing Method on a person whose voice you've stolen is always 1. The Abyssal can spend a willpower, if he wishes, to consume the victims voice. This renders the target unable to speak above a whisper for the rest of his life, or until his voice can heal for Exalts and other Essence wielders. After a voice has been consumed, the Abyssal can no longer use it himself, but the motes are now uncommited.
