Cost: 3m per -1; Mins: Essence 1; Type: Reflexive (Step 2)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant (one scene)
Prerequisite Charms: First Ebon Dragon Excellency

The Ebon Dragon offers no certainty of victory apart from the certainty of an opponent's defeat. Accordingly, the Shadow of All Things lacks a Second Excellency but offers this hateful alternative. Upon witnessing another character perform a valid action within (Essence x 100) yards, the Infernal may spend three motes per -1 external penalty applied to the enemy. This penalty can't exceed the Exalt's Essence by default, but the Infernal's player may describe the target's failure in a way that earns a stunt bonus, and the rating of this stunt adds to the Exalt's Essence rating to determine the maximum penalty. Shadows ooze and lash out from the Infernal's anima to momentarily entwine the victim with obscene tendrils that inflict bad luck and sudden lapses in competence.
