Through the Lunar's powerful raw personality, she commands the organized dispersal and concealment of her unit—in this way, her unit falls from the eyes of its enemies. This Charm is an action to reestablish surprise in mass combat or social mass combat. The player rolls (Manipulation + Socialize), at a difficulty of the unit's Magnitude. If the roll succeeds, the unit is hidden, imposing an external penalty equal to the Lunar's Essence on Perception rolls to find it until the unit declares itself by taking a new action.
