This Charm was apparently created to allow Dragon-Blooded performers to interfere with their fellows who were attempting to improperly manipulate audience members with Soul-Stirring Performance Method. The effect of the Charm combined with the artistry of the Dragon-Blood's performance enacts a potent defensive magic on the entire audience. For the duration of the performance, the difficulty to affect any member of the audience with mind-controlling Charms increases by an amount equal to the Exalt's Essence. Additionally, after the performance ends, the difficulty to use unnatural mental influence to turn any audience member against the Dragon-Blood who used the Charm increases by two. This secondary effect lasts for a number of hours equal to the Exalt's permanent Essence.
