Minimum Cup: 1
Minimum Essence: 1

The raksha
bolsters one of her Virtues or Graces with artificial rigor. Her player rolls
the raksha’s Conviction + Medicine in a Cup-shaping
action, temporarily improving that Virtue or Grace by one for each success
received. The raksha cannot add more than her Essence
to a Virtue or Grace with any combination of Charms. This Charm lasts until the
raksha’s next shaping action, but the raksha can maintain this Charm for additional scenes by
spending 5 motes at the beginning of each scene.

Minimum Cup: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: Unsightly Rigor

Raksha can shape themselves
to better resist shaping damage. Each purchase of this Charm adds two health levels
to all of the raksha’s shaping damage tracks, and players
can purchase this Charm a number of times equal to the raksha’s
Cup.
Manacles Of Virtue
Cost: 1 gossamer
Duration: One scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Cup: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: Unsightly Rigor
Approach
The raksha
imposes an artificially heightened Virtue on some other character. The raksha chooses a Virtue. She then chooses a target, with whom she must have interacted this scene. She invokes this
Charm, and her player rolls Conviction + Medicine in a Cup-shaping action. This
adds one dot to the target’s Virtue for each success. The Fair Folk cannot
improve a target’s Virtues by more than the target’s Essence with any combination
of effects.
This Charm is a work of glamour, and it
does not affect characters whose Wits + Essence exceeds the raksha’s
Medicine. Raksha cannot feed off these artificial
Virtues.
Chaotic Soul Sledgehammer
Cost: 3 gossamer
Duration: One story
Type: Simple
Minimum Cup: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Manacles of Virtue
The raksha
strikes a sledgehammer blow to another creature’s Essence pattern, damaging the
roots of one of the four Virtues. The raksha names a
Virtue, and his player rolls a Cup-shaping attack against a difficulty of the target’s
Essence. If it succeeds, the target instantly loses one channel of that Virtue.
For the rest of the story, the target’s rolls for that Virtue are at +1
difficulty.
This Charm is a work of glamour, and it
does not affect characters whose Wits + Essence exceeds the raksha’s
Medicine.
Torn Spirit Mending
Technique
Cost: 10 motes, 1
Willpower, 0 gossamer
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Cup: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Manacles of Virtue
Snipping and tugging at a wounded target’s
Essence, the raksha redresses the effects of
ravishment. This Charm can restore damaged Virtues and Willpower to their previous
maximum or remove a permanent ravishment.
To power its work, this Charm utterly
consumes a glamour sorcery spell that the raksha owns.
Used to cure a character’s ravishment, the spell must have Artifact level equal
to or above the target’s Cup.
This Charm is a work of glamour, and it
does not affect Creation-born characters whose wounded Trait + Essence exceeds
the raksha’s Willpower.
