*Masters of the Style of Secrets become a sort-of balance point to the universe; for every action there is a reaction, for every point there is a counter-point, for every known thing there is a secret. With this charm a martial artist has moved beyond the grapple of bodies to grappling the very truth of their opponents existance. Every successful clinch attack against a foe banishes that foe to Elsewhere. A foe grappled into Elsewhere can be acted on with a Crush or a Hold as preferred by the martial artist, but the enemy is gone from the battle field and the martial artist is not restricted at all from defending herself from other attackers. The martial artist may flurry her actions to make further grapple Crush attacks against Elsewhere held opponents (as well as act on other enemies), but otherwise they are kept in a Hold trying to break the grapple against the number of successes that originally trapped them. If the foe should surpass the martial artist's number of successes on the grapple crush attacks used against them or the original number of successes holding them, if they are only being held, then they break free of Elsewhere to fall prone on the ground next to the martial artist. Foes that do not break free can either be released at the martial artist's leisure (as crushed corpses or hopefully subdued foes) or when the charm ends, whichever comes sooner. The character may hold up to (Essence) foes trapped in Elsewhere with this charm. In addition, while this charm is active the character automatically adds (Essence) successes to grapple checks and damage rolls from grappling.
*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 Observing Maiden, infusing the strip with Essence when she activates the Charm and affixes the prayer strip to her own hand. When the character does this she exchanges the level of Lethal damage for a level of Aggravated damage while activating Master of the Shining Darkness. This charm acts as an augmentation to the Sidereal Lore Charm ''Transcendent Hatchet of Fate''. While the Prayer Strip for Master of the Shining Darkness is active the cost of Trancendent Hatchet of Fate is reduced to 12 motes plus 1 temporary willpower and changes its type to Reflexive when used against foes who has been grappled into Elsewhere. This synergy also removes the limit on how many foes can be held in Elsewhere.
*'''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 Shining Darkness 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.
