Offensive Charms
- Brutal Ape Pounce (4m; Simple; Instant; Withering-only; Essence 1): If the blood-ape deals 5+ damage to an enemy with this withering attack, that character is knocked prone. If the initiative damage brought them below the demon's Initiative, the blood-ape may pay a point of Willpower to reflexively make a decisive attack against them. The reflexive attack power of his Charm may be only be used once per fight unless reset by landing three successful withering attacks.
- Principle of Motion (10m, 1wp; Reflexive; Instant; Essence 2): The blood-ape moves with blinding speed, taking a flurry without the usual restrictions--
it can flurry two of the same action if desired, and it ignores the usual penalties to dice pools and Defense.
- Rending Claw Slash (5m, 1i; Supplemental; Instant; Uniform; Essence 1): When the blood-ape savages a grappled enemy, it doubles 9s on the damage roll.
If it receives 6+ extra successes on the attack roll, double 8s as well.
- Shattering Roar (15m, 1wp; Simple; Instant; Dual; Essence 2): The blood-ape emits a howl potent enough to pulp flesh and pulverize bone, attacking an enemy out to mdium range with a roll of nine dice. Withering howls have a base damage of 20. Decisive attacks add extra succcesses to their raw damage, and deal bashing damage. Once per fight, unless reset by moving to pursue an enemy after a successful rush.
Miscellaneous Charms

- Hurry Home (10m, 1wp; Simple; Instant; Essence 1): The demon fades away and vanishes on its next turn, drawn instantly to its summoner's side. This Charm is unavailable when the demon is unbound.
- Materialize (35m, 1wp; Simple; Instant; Essence 1): Bloody, stinking ropes of muscle and flesh lash themselves together from thin air, building the blood-ape a physical form.
