General Charms

Unsurpassed (Yozi) Incarnation

• Cost: --; Mins: Essence 3; Type: Permanent
• Keywords: None
• Duration: Indefinite
• Prerequisite Charms: First (Yozi) Excellency

The character taps into the concepts the Yozi represents and attunes her soul to one particular aspect of their power. With this charm, purchaseable once for each First Excellency the character has (once for each Yozi), the character gains the ability to purchase specialties for that particular Yozi, similar to how Lunars can access attribute specialties. Purchase of this charm grants one free dot in a Yozi specialty. Yozi specialties are not restricted to particular abilities or attributes, instead focusing on themes: check the description of First (Yozi) excellency for examples.

Realization of (Yozi's) Potency

• Cost: --; Mins: Essence 3; Type: Permanent
• Keywords: Stackable
• Duration: Indefinite
• Prerequisite Charms: First (Yozi) Excellency

By tuning into the alien and infinite nature of the defeated primordials, their servants may tap a fraction of their awesome power.

This charm allows the Infernal to recover motes by emulating the mannerisms of one of the Yozi they have forged a spiritual link with. For every hour the Infernal engages in activities that the relative Yozi Excellency could apply to, they regain a number of motes equal to their Essence, or to the Magnitude of the unit their actions affect, whichever is higher.

In addition, this charm increases the character's Peripheral Essence pool by (Permanent Essence x 5). This pool cannot be used to attune artifacts, and can only be refilled by this or other essence gaining charms.

This charm may be taken multiple times, each time for a separate Yozi whose excellency you possess. If your actions for an hour satisfy more than one Excellency, you regain motes accordingly. For each additional time you take Abundance of (Yozi's) Power, you add an additional (Essence x 5) to your extra peripheral mote pool.
