* Seeing is Blindness
* Seeing is Blindness: Cost 3m, Reqs 2, Supplemental, Combo-OK, Obvious, Shaping, Sorcerous, scenelong.  This charm enhances a physical attack.  Should the attack hit, roll (Manipulation + Presence) against a difficulty of (higher of Perception or Awareness).  On a success, the target gains both the Creature of Darkness and Blindness mutations.  Emerald Circle Countermagic removes only the Blindness.

* Damning Petulence Technique: Cost 3m, Reqs 3, Reflexive, Combo-OK, Shaping, Instant.  Whenever a rolled action with a 1-dice stunt occurs within 10 yards, this charm can be activated to make the target number 8.  Whenever a rolled action with a 0-dice stunt occurs within 10 yards, this charm can be activated to make the target number 9.
* Kill Feint Cleverness
* Kill Feint Cleverness: Cost - (1 wp), Reqs 3, Permanent.  Whenever a physical attack misses its target, he can reflexively spend 1 wp to regain all motes spent on 1 charm of his choice.
* Life-Blighting Emptiness Attack

* Life-Denying Hate
* Life-Denying Hate: Cost 8m, Reqs 3, Simple (Speed 4), Combo-OK, Sorcerous, Scenelong.  Choose a target within sensing range that was damaged earlier in the scene.  Until the scene's end, the target cannot heal by any means.  If this charm is dispelled, the target takes 1 unsoakable dice of Lethal damage, but is immune for the rest of the scene.  When a spirit cursed by this charm dies, it vanishes from Creation to a place of eternal solitude.
* Nemesis Self Imagined Anew
* Nemesis Self Imagined Anew: Cost 1m, Reqs 2, Simple, Combo-OK, Shaping, Indefinite.  Choose a living being within (Essence) yards, and become their mirror.  He gains an opposite Motivation ("Save Great Forks" becomes "Destroy Great Forks") in addition to their own.  Completing this Motivation ends the charm, but doesn't allow the chance to raise Essence unless that Essence is greater than his.  The death of the target also ends the charm.  This charm creates an Intimacy of hatred towards the mirrored individual, which cannot be removed.  When he sees a social attack against the target involving one of their intimacies, he instinctively knows, and may spend 1m to learn what that intimacy is and gain an opposite-emotion intimacy.
* Soul Crack Exposition

* Cracked Cell Circumvention
* Cracked Cell Circumvention: Cost 2m or 2m 1wp, Reqs 2, Reflexive, Combo-OK, Instant.  When attempting to escape from confinement, double the successes of the action, or the pool involved in it.  If used on attacks, this doubling happens before DV.

* Hellscry Chakra

Perceives dematerialized Demons with all senses, recognizing them as incorporeal<br/>
