Silver Ladies Cunning
Cost: 3 motes per point Duration: Indefinite Type: Simple Minimum Manipulation: 1 Minimum Essence: 1 'Prerequisite Charms: None
A Lunar who uses this charm calls upon the legendary subtly and cunning of his patron, carefully and stealthily suffusing his essence throughout his soul, becoming nearly as silver-tongued as the Silver Lady herself. Every three motes spent activating this charm gives the Lunar a +1 natural bonus to his Manipulation score for as long as she keeps the motes commite, up to doubling the characters Manipulation. The Lunar is also as cunning as his mistress, and any roll attempting to catch the Lunar in a lie has its difficulty increased by one.
Emotion-Shaping Technique
Cost: 4 motes Duration: One scene Type: Simple Minimum Manipulation: 2 Minimum Essence: 1 Prerequisite Charms: Silver Ladies Cunning
A Lunar using this charm can subtly reshape the morals and emotions of her target using a combination of natural insight and charm. The Lunar must have a few moments to converse with the target of the charm, and must speak a language the target understands -- the charm works as much on the subconscious level as the conscious, however, so the target need not be paying full attention to what the Lunar. The character then rolls Manipulation + Presence, with each success allowing the Lunar to temporarily increase or decrease one of the target's Virtues by one. The Lunar may also use two successes to give the target one dot in the Vice flaw, or a Virtue speciality of the Lunar's choice. Any changes made with this charm only last until the end of the scene, and the Exalt can only use this charm on one person at a time.
Old Friend Method
Cost: 5 motes Duration: One scene Type: Simple Minimum Manipulation: 3 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: Silver Ladies Cunning
Trust can be a valuable commodity, it being both rare and hard to cultivate as well as having numerous different uses in multiple situations. A Lunar may invoke this charm to shine with some of the familiarity of the Moon at night, seeming just as familiar a sight to one individual of the characters choice. The target affected with this charm can't shake the feeling that they know the Lunar from somewhere, and generally have a good impression of them. While this charm won't overcome direct personal experience with the character, it can be used on someone who doesn't remember or recognize the Lunar. While under the effect of this charm, the target will listen to the Lunar and generally treat him with the respect due a friend. In addition, the difficulty of any Manipulation roll against this target is reduced by two (minimum of 0).
