As the demonic lover assumes a wantonly alluring pose, she is sheathed in swirling veils of sensual shadow that accentuate her shape and promise to privately reward those who embrace her. For the remainder of the scene, she may reflexively spend one mote to gain a counterattack against any opponent who attacks her from melee range. Whether assaulted by a point blank archer seeking to penetrate her defenses or a muscular warrior swinging a large hammer, she responds with a clinch attempt. Clinches gained by way of this counterattack ignore penalties for flurries, coordinated attacks or multiple opponents, and the orgy of countermoves is limited only by the number of attacks her opponents launch and her own reserves of Essence.
