Same Charm for Abyssal Exalted.
Adds Mirror keyword.
Prerequisite Charms: Spirit-Hardened Frame

The Abyssal's body goes horrifically limp as he is struck, bending and distorting under the force of the blow far more than any flesh or bone should be able to. His foes can only gape in shocked silence as they witness him laughing off his unbleeding wounds, or popping dislocated limbs back into place. Every mote spent on this Charm removes one die from the post-soak damage of an attack against the Abyssal, to a minimum of one die.

The attacking character gains an Intimacy of fear towards the Abyssal if they have a Dodge MDV lower than the number of motes spent on this defense, as they realize the true nature of the undying horror they face. Resisting this unnatural Emotion effect costs one Willpower.
