====Cerulean Lute of Harmony Ascending==== *'''Cost:''' 5 motes; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 5, Essence 4; '''Type:''' Supplemental *'''Keywords:''' Combo-OK, Emotion, Obvious *'''Duration:''' Instant *'''Prerequisite Charms:''' None *''The Student's Sutra of Serenity: Once there was a travelling maiden...'' *Like a childhood lullaby or the vision of a target's lust, the martial artist's attack slips a wellspring of emotion into its target at the same time as its blow lands. The martial artist's player rolls a normal Martial Arts attack, which they can choose to inflict standard damage or none at all on if it succeeds. The target then has their entire emotional world taken over by the whims of the martial artist. This attack does not compulse the target to act nor change their basic motivation, but it does allow the martial artist complete control over how the target feels towards all things including their own actions and motivation. This also allows the martial artist to replace all of the target's current intimacies with any of his choosing for the duration of the effect so long as they do not conflict with the target's motivation. The target is never confused by these changes and finds perfectly logical explanations for any action he has taken in light of this new emotional reality. The emotion effect of this charm lasts for one tick per pre-soak damage die the martial artist's attack had even if they chose to inflict no damage and the martial artist can change the target's emotions toward anything as a reflexive action on every tick. This effect does not stack, but when the charm is used repeatedly on the same target the longest duration prevails. *Additionally, whenever this charm is used, the weilder can choose to affect the target of this charm or someone else within touching distance (including herself), but one single target alone, with an astrological destiny. The destiny has a simple trigger and will effect them for the remainder of the scene. This destiny, and its trigger, must be related to the combat the characters are in or the reason for it. Creating this destiny does not invoke any paradox. While Sidereal Exalted can choose to grant any providence through this destiny, if a non-Sidereal uses this charm then the providence is always the Blissful Idiot Blessing.
