Most Dragon-Blooded consider their personal honor to be sacrosanct, and to such social and self-important creatures, a Charm such as this one is a terrible weapon. The Dragon-Blood need only gain her target's attention and insult or embarrass him in some way to cause the target to become irrationally fixated on her. The Dragon-Blood's player must roll ([[Manipulation]] + [[Presence]]), adding her Essence in automatic successes. The results are compared to the target's [[MDV]]. In combat, only the target's [[Dodge MDV]] is applicable, and an affected target suffers <del>a -1 penalty to both DDV and PDV when fighting anyone other than the Exalt who used this Charm against him</del>. Outside of combat, the Charm can also be used simply to undermine a rival's social position. The Exalt's player must roll (Manipulation + Presence) against the target as a social attack roll, and only the target's Parry MDV is applicable. If the Exalt is successful, the target suffers grave embarrassment from whatever cutting remark she made, <del>and he suffers a -2 penalty to all social rolls for the remainder of the Charm's duration</del>. The Charm lasts for a number of actions equal to the Exalt's Essence during combat or for a number of long ticks equal to the Exalt's Essence in social combat. 

''Latest Errata:'' In personal or mass combat, an affected target or unit that target commands suffers a -1 DV penalty when defending against anyone besides the Exalt or a [[unit]] he leads. In social combat, the victim suffers a -2 [[internal penalty]] to all social actions. Spending 2wp (4wp if a descendant) makes a character immune to this unnatural influence for a scene.
