===Master of the Heraldric Array=== *'''Cost:''' 10 motes, 1 willpower, 1 lethal health level or 1 aggravated health level; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 5, Essence 4; '''Type:''' Simple (Speed 6, DV -2) *'''Keywords:''' Combo-OK, Fate, Obvious, Prayer Strip *'''Duration:''' One scene *'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Horrific Wreath, Unobstructed Blow, Crimson Palm Counterstrike *When a Seer uses this Charm, she gains a strength of unity so deeply with her troops and throughout her very soul that every attack she makes coordinates the attacks of those around her. With every attack the character makes she may make a free roll to Coordinate the attacks of those also attacking that same target on that tick. This roll replaces Charisma + War with Willpower and gains the character's Essence in automatic successes. So well unified is her soul that enemies always feel as if a circle of spears surrounds them. Whenever a character using this Charm makes an attack against an enemy then that foe is beset by up to the character's Essence in phantom attackers that Coordinate with the attack of the character. These phantom attackers do no health level damage, but cause momentary pain with their touch to push the enemy into a well coordinated position for the character to attack them. If the character is in melee with an enemy then as many of them as possible will fill any open spots around the target. *Using a prayer strip is not necessary with this Charm, since it represents the culmination of a Celestial martial art, but a Sidereal who knows this Charm can ''augment'' it with a prayer strip (hence the use of the keyword). The character uses a strip on which is written the Scripture of the Practicing Maiden, infusing the strip with Essence when she activates the Charm and letting the prayer strip hover beside herself. When the character does this she exchanges the level of Lethal damage for a level of Aggravated damage while activating Master of the Heraldric Array. This charm acts as an augmentation to the Sidereal Archery Charm '''Many Missiles Bow Technique''. While the Prayer Strip for Master of the Heraldric Array is active the cost of Many Missiles Bow Technique is reduced to 8 motes plus 1 temporary willpower. This augmentation has three effects. It allows the character to apply the effects of Many Missiles Bow Technique to any sort of attack they make at the cost of 1 mote per tick of attacks, with non-projectile attacks momentarily taking on the fate of the phenomena before flickering back to usual at the end of the tick. It also allows the character to use Generalized Ammunition Technique to make any sort of weapon they can weild reflexively for 1 mote per tick they use that weapon. Lastly, it allows ammunition and weapons made from Generalized Ammunition Technique to be used with the transformations of Many Missiles Bow Technique. *'''Note:''' The prayer strip aspect of this Charm can only be used by Sidereals, or by Eclipse or Moonshadow Castes who learn Master of the Heraldric Array as a Sidereal Charm rather than as a supernatural martial arts Charm. This is part of the Sidereal Exaltation, not the training in Martial Arts and Essence control that underlies the other Charms of the style.
