Prerequisite Charms: First Cecelyne Excellency, Transcendent Desert Creature

Few beings are as they would choose to be. Certainly, Cecelyne would rather that her inner borders were not fettered to Malfeas. Where dissatisfaction endures, emptiness spreads the idea of the Endless Desert. Prior to using this Charm, the character must have observed the target express dislike of her present state and desire for some improvement of natural aptitude or training, such as beauty or skill with a sword. The wish need not be articulated with any intention of seeking its fulfillment or even seriously, but it must be unambiguous. In this condition is met, the Infernal need only be within (Essence) yards of the target and activate Verdant Emptiness Endowment. Doing so causes the target to gain one dot of the Attribute, Ability or specialty that best pertains to the observed wish. This Training effect can't raise any trait above its normal maximum, nor does the Infernal need any rating in a trait to bestow it. This Charm also can't target those who have any outstanding experience debt from prior use of any Training effect.

As usual, characters who receive training and aren't extras must pay the normal experience cost for any trait increases. If they can't afford this cost, they go into "experience point debt." They must pay at least half of all awarded experience points, rounded down, toward this debt until repaid.
