===Bite of the Fox=== *'''Cost:''' 3m; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 5, Essence 3; '''Type:''' Simple *'''Keywords:''' Combo-Basic, Illusion, Compulsion, Stackable *'''Duration:''' Instant *'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Smiling Kitsune Form *The spiritual nature of the fox flows from its very being. It is a master of illusions and can trick those who are of weak will. This attack does not affect the opponent's body, but rather his mind. The martial artist rolls an attack as normal, but checks against the targets Dodge MDV instead of his physical DV's. If it hits, it deals no physical damage, but rather the martial artist rolls his essence. Each success reduces the target's temporary willpower by one. If an opponent is reduced to zero temporary willpower by this attack (or this attack is used on somebody who has no temporary willpower remaining), the target believes that one of his allies and the martial artist who used the charm have switched places, filling in any gaps of logic that might be necessary. If the target has no allies with him, he believes the martial artist has run away, and his senses seem to back up this belief. While temporary willpower lost is permanent until regained through normal means, the illusion effect is rather short-lived and only lasts a number of actions equal to the user's permanent essence score. During this period, the affected target cannot regain willpower through stunts due to confusion and inability to properly focus, but it does not prevent others from using charms or other abilities to grant the target willpower. It can also be dispelled if the martial artist attacks the target before the charm's effects end. Essence sight defeats this effect as do other mental defenses against illusions or compulsions, so long as they do not require willpower to be spent (since the target has none left to use).
