Piercing Ghost Barb

Cost: 4m; Mins: Archery 5, Essence 3; Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Pulse of the Prey

This Charm transforms the archer's projectile into a ripple of moaning, ghostly Essence with no substance outside the dreams of the Neverborn. This pulse passes through all corporeal and incorporeal objects without effect except for the attack's designated target(s). If it hits its mark, the attack shifts back to full reality to inflict its usual injury. If it misses, it ceases to exist. Mechanically, this effect negates all penalties from cover, bypasses all soak except innate soak, and makes the attack unblockable except to unarmed parries.
