Cost: 8m; Mins: Melee 4, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive (Step 2)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Bulwark Stance

The character invokes this Charm in response to an attack. The attack must not be unexpected, and the character must have a weapon in hand. This Charm is a parry that perfectly defends against any attack, even if it is unblockable.

Mundane weapons can break when used with this Charm. If the character uses this Charm and a mundane weapon to block an attack that inflicts at least 25L raw damage before soak, the weapon breaks (though it still successfully parries).

This Charm has one of the Four Flaws of Invulnerability common to all Solar perfect defenses.

Death-Deflecting Technique

Same Charm for Abyssal Exalted.
Cost: 6m
Adds Mirror and Spectral keywords.
Prerequisite Charms: Vengeful Riposte

Whether the arrows of man or the spear of the Unconquered Sun, no force may strike an armed Abyssal with this Charm. Note that this Charm does differ slightly from its Solar counterpart in its Essence cost and bearing the Spectral keyword.
