Lunar Exalted find it useful to cast down their enemies and ensure that they cannot recover. In a single, Essence-driven blow, the character severs or breaks some part of his victim in a way that makes it unusable. As long as this attack inflicts even a single level of damage, the target suffers a crippling wound of some sort.

The character may opt to spend an additional point of Willpower when activating this Charm. This infuses the crippling wound with the mercurial Essence of Luna, making it impossible to heal the wound by mundane means. Surgical attempts to right the issue automatically fail, and even the Exalted do not heal the injury with its associated wounds. Only supernatural methods that heal crippling effects can right this injury.
