===Increase Range===
'''Trait:''' Any Ability

'''Cost:''' 3 EP per Step of Range Increase

'''Limits:''' Ability

'''Requirements:''' Minimum Ability 2

'''Description:''' This charm allows you to increase the maximum effective range of an ability.  This charm will also allow you to increase personal effects to affect others. Additionally, it allows you to perform actions that would normally require the use of your hands beyond your reach, manipulating the targets through raw essence-guided force.  It will also allow you to vastly increase the range of actions that normally affect things at a distance.

In order to determine the cost of this ability, find the basic range of the effect on the chart below.  For instance, a sword blow is range 'Reach', while giving a speech is range 'Medium'.  If the range falls between these steps, round down to the smaller step for determining the cost of this charm.

Each step of range increase costs 3 committed Essence Pool.  As usual, this charm affects all uses of this Ability while it is active.  This charm does not create any range penalties, and the range increment of weapons increases proportionally with the maximum range.  However, your perceptions are not extended (unless you use this with Awareness), and you may suffer penalties for this (GM's option).  Affecting targets behind valid obstructions, or outside of the normal line of your perceptions may require the use of ''Transcendant Action'' charm at level 2 if they could be reached from your current location, at level 3 if they could not. 

Using this charm to extend range from Personal allows you to lend the effects of charms, as well as skill expertize, to others.  However, unless you use the ''Multitarget'' charm, this prevents you from using the lended effect.  For this purpose, each activation of this charm is seperate from normal activation, and is treated as a seperate charm.

You may not increase range more than a number of steps equal to your Ability.
