The Abyssal selects an adversary within (Martial Arts x 5) yards and either pounces upon her in a single leap or closes the distance in a gliding blur of similarly impossible speed. The character can leap only as part of making an unarmed striking or grappling Martial Arts attack against a target.

The cost to activate this Charm is normally three motes. If the Abyssal initiates a grapple and pays a point of Willpower, however, he adds to the attack roll a number of bonus successes equal to his Essence, and the defender cannot block or dodge the attack, except with a perfect defense.
