	''Example 2: Ambushed by dangerous enemies Jian needs the maximum effect and fast! He activates the Charm and commits 10m - his maximum, since he has MA 5. He also has to spend one point of Willpower since he puts more than 2m/action into BotBM. He now adds five dice to attacks and PDV calculation. Let's hope it is enough.''

	Comment: I'm balancing this version of BotBM off Water Dragon Form (5m), which in addition to its primary powerful soak effect adds three dice to all Martial Arts rolls. In comparison BotBM costs slightly more essence per die, is either much slower to activate or costs WP, and dealing/parrying lethal damage is much less powerful than Water Dragon Form's soak boost plus reflexive soak adder. On the plus side BotBM can add more than three dice (a maximum of five barring Ess >6), is more flexible and doesn't have the drawbacks of a Form Charm. Disallowing weapons is a neutral factor in Jian's case, since Claws of the Silver Moon enhances his natural unarmed attacks and is equivalent to using Moonsilver Tiger Claws with Water Dragon Style.

	'''Ei-Zen Hon''' is a Chosen of Endings no more than two centuries old who went ronin after a series of disastrous missions left him with wounds both bodily and mental. As his hiding place from the Bureau he choose an old and secret manse fatefully claimed by He Who Makes The Rivers Cry, who was teaching his new apprentice there. The Elder No Moon's powers healed the physical scars but more than anything else it was the friendship of Jian Chu who was also recovering from great mental trauma that helped the unfortunate Endbringer cling to sanity and find back to himself. In time they became more than friends and when the young No Moon told him of his failings one evening Ei-Zen Hon began to look for a way to help his lover in turn. And perhaps the Sidereals are indeed the greatest masters of the martial arts for where all his previous teachers had failed Ei-Zen Hon found a solution and the right style for Jian Chu. But their happiness was not meant to last. As the Infallible Messengers describing the consequences of the Reckoner's absence on Fate and Creation became more and more dire he realized that he could not avoid taking his place among the Five-Score Fellowship again. Upon his return he - and worse yet, his own sifu - realized, what he had done: In a moment of weakness he had betrayed Bureau secrets to an outsider. There could be only one solution that would simultaneously hone his conviction and salvage Ei-Zen Hon's position, the ancient Sidereal told the Endbringer: Li Jian Chu had to die by his own hand. And so it is that with great regret Ei-Zen Hon has begun to pursue his former lover's death. Nothing can be allowed to stand in the way of duty, thus is the lonely life of a Sidereal.

	Although he has given up many of his fears during his initiation into sorcery one fear remains with Jian Chu since his terrifying experiences in the haunted forest: Though he is a great admirer of beauty in its many forms there are people and entities that approach too close to perfection for comfort, that recall in him the horror of the Fair Lord and his inhumanly beautiful hunter-tormentors. His courage fails him in those situations. Thankfully, perverse though it may sound, it is rare to find such beauty in this fallen age.
