Powerful Stewards can banish creatures of darkness completely from the Lunars' territories, sending the foul monsters away for a long time. Invoking this Charm, the player rolls (Charisma + Presence) against a single target or (Charisma + Performance) against a group; against creatures of darkness, double the successes before subtracting the target's Mental Defense Value as an external penalty. If the roll succeeds, the target creature must travel as far from the Lunar's presence as it can manage within the scene or spend two points of Willpower to resist. Creatures of darkness are more susceptible—they must spend four points of Willpower or travel away from the Lunar for the rest of the story. A character may only use this Charm on a single target or target group once per story.

Scathing Lunar Condemnation is perfect for use with a Performance roll to clear out enemy creatures of darkness. This Charm is most effective at eliminating lower-level enemies, because powerful creatures of darkness usually have the Willpower reserves to combat its effects.
