	As written, except that at Ess 3 the Lawgiver can commit additional Essence to increase her speed even further: Every 3m so employed double her adjusted speed (3m double, 6m triple, 9m quadruple). The maximum she can commit in addition to the 3m of the base charm is 3xEss motes. For example at Ess 3 Liz could commit 12m, increasing her base speed to 10 and quadrupling her adjusted speed to 40 (16 and 64 respectively in a Dash).<br>		As written, except that at Ess 3 the Charm gains the Stackable keyword.
	~~Reason: ''This change brings Lightning Speed up to the power of the Lunar equivalent charm Instinct-Driven Beast Movement, which allows unlimited speed multiplications as long as~~ the ~~Lunar spends enough Essence~~.''

	This charm reduces the cost of all scene-long Athletics charms by 1m. Additionally whenever the Lawgiver uses such a charm, Perfected Movement Meditation allows her to activate (Ess-1) additional scene-long Athletics charms without them counting as a charm use or requiring a combo. For example at Ess 3 Liz could activate Monkey-Leap Technique, Graceful Crane Stance and Spider-Foot Style together without a combo.<br>

	''On a related note I would suggest that where levels (not dice) of damage are soaked below the attacker's Essence, the resulting damage is equal to the calculated number of HL plus damage dice to 'fill up' the Essence ping. For example if an Ess 3 attacker deals 6 levels of damage against a soak of 4, the result is two HL of damage plus the result on a one die damage roll. That is, if there isn't an official clarification of the interaction of dice and levels of damage I'm unaware of.''
