This Charm allows the Dragon-Blooded to pull loose of Creation's borders, and sail off into the Wyld with assurance. While only rarely used, a number of high-ranking members of the Realm's Navy know this charm for use in patrolling dangerous waters where the wyld has grown powerful in the long years since the Great Contagion. A single Dragon-Blooded can protect a single ship from the Wyld, shielding it and all those aboard from the effects of Wyld Mutation for a day. This also affects supplies and cargo aboard the ship, and the frightening solidity of the ship usually keeps away a fair amount of the lesser dangers of the Wyld sea, though some things might be attracted to the ship by this charm. This charm is somewhat weak against Pure Chaos, and cannot entirely protect a ship in such an enviroment -- instead treat the ship as if it was in the bordermarches. Multiple Dragon-Blooded working together can use this charm synergistically, bringing entire fleets into the Wyld. Each Dragon-Blooded using this charm automatically protects the ship he's on, and the group as a whole protects a number of additional ships equal to the number of extra Dragon-Blooded participating in the charm. No more Dragon-Blooded can participate in this charm than the Essence + Performance rating of the highest ranking Dynast present, and each must have the charm in question. This charm is considered in-caste for both Earth and Water aspects.
Example: Three dragon-blooded use this charm on a small flotilla. The leader has a Essence of 4, and a Performance 3, and so can support up to seven Dragon-Blooded in total. This is not a problem, as there are only three of them. Separately, they'd protect three ships. However, working togethery they can protect an extra two ships -- five total.
