Fool Trampling Movement
Cost: 3m; Mins: Ride 4, Essence 3; Type: Supplemental Keywords: Combo-Ok, Dusk, Mirror (Two Battle as One) Duration: Instant Prerequisite Charms: Unholy Mount Warding
Those an Abyssal loathes, so too does his mount learn to share in it. For each attack supplemented by this Charm, an Abyssal's mount makes an attack at its full dice pool. This explicitly allows a mount to make more attacks than its Rate would normally allow. The mount must attack the same target as the Abyssal does. The mount shares in any Onslaught penalties and stunt bonuses with its master. This charm is allowed to supplement charms of other abilities.
The mirror is functionally identical to this charm.
Death From Above and Below
Cost: 4m; Mins: Ride 5, Essence 3; Type: Reflexive Keywords: Combo-Ok, Dusk, Mirror (Twins Born of Battle) Duration: One Tick Prerequisite Charms: Fool Trampling Movement
When Abyssal and warmount fight together, the world trembles. This charm forges an attack sequence that utilizes the unique battle capabilities of both. In effect, the mount and master create a coordinated attack on any number of targets (within rate limitations). Should the Abyssal already be part of a coordinated attack, the mount is added as a member for no additional successes. This has all the normal effects of a coordiated attack.
The mirror is functionally identical to this charm.
Crushed Under the Weight of Inevitability
Cost: 5m, 1wp (+1m/magnitude); Mins: Ride 5, Essence 4; Type: Reflexive Keywords: Combo-OK, Dusk, Emotion Duration: One Tick Prerequisite Charms: Fool Trampling Movement
Where the previous charm allows the mount to attack those who offend the rider, now the Abyssal may cause all those in his way to cower in fear that they might be crushed to death. This charm enhances movement so that all in front of the mount who do not dodge out of the way receive two stomping attacks. This is best represented by a hoof, claw, or similar attack repeated twice with the Abyssal's Essence added to the post-soak damage. These attacks are unparriable unless the victim pays 3 willpower to break the fear of the onrushing attack.
Drawing Forth the Curtain of Night
Cost: 3m; Mins: Ride 5, Essence 5; Type: Reflexive Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Shaping Duration: Indefinite Prerequisite Charms: Saddled in Epic Monstrosity
This charm is considered to be quite similar to the Solar charm, Sun Towing Method, and mechanically is the same. The difference comes in the methods by which such strength is imbued. Through ancient right, a call is placed to the kith and kin of the mount, even if they never existed, calling them to help pull. This occurs nearly instantly, as soulsteel chains bind them to the thing to be pulled as they pass. These ghostly creatures can be seen to all, but neither they nor their chains can be damaged, or even touched! The Abyssal need not actually bind their mount to the object, needing only to lead the pack onward!
