While terror and madness are the primary social weapons of the Abyssal Exalted, some prefer the subtler horror of unwanted desire.

In answer to the call of the Solar Exalted, in ancient times, people gave up their homes and families and marched to war. Some Lawgivers gave speeches and shone with the sun's radiance, but others called their servants with beauty—piping, dancing or playing at the harp, wordlessly and terribly calling their soldiers to their deaths.
The Solar gives a performance, her player rolling ([Charisma or Manipulation] + Performance) and adding her Appearance in bonus dice. This Charm exerts unnatural mental influence on all who witness it. Characters with Mental DV less than the Solar's successes must spend two Willpower or fall instantly in love either with the Solar or something the Solar represents. This effect does not depend on gender or sexual preference. Targets incapable of sexual attraction to the Solar suffer starry-eyed infatuation or dedication to the Solar's cause rather than romantic desire. This love is a form of commitment. Targets can break the commitment naturally but they must spend one Willpower in each scene where they deliberately attempt to shake it off.
Irresistible Succubus Style
Adds Mirror keyword.
Prerequisite Charms: Soul-Desiccating Style
While terror and madness are the primary social weapons of the Abyssal Exalted, some prefer the subtler horror of unwanted desire. Unlike its Solar Mirror, this Charm builds only Intimacies of lust toward the Abyssal and cannot build love or loyalty to the Exalt or a cause, but this Charm ignores a victim's usual sexual orientation. In addition, the first time a deathknight makes a (Manipulation + Presence)-based social attack to seduce a character with a lower Essence rating in the same scene that he gained an Intimacy of lust toward her, the attempt becomes unnatural mental influence costing three Willpower to resist. Note that a seduced character may still defend against attacks and can spend Willpower normally to shrug off a successful seduction as circumstances require, but that doesn't make an Abyssal any less desirable to those inflamed with lust toward her.
