Lunars drive people's fears into the open. This Charm supplements a Social roll to rouse the emotion of fear in one or many targets (using Presence or Performance). The roll takes an internal penalty equal to the group's Magnitude. The Charm exerts unnatural mental influence on any target whose Mental Defense Value is less than the character's successes. The Lunar may inflict a general fear, usually causing panic, or name a specific "fear of X," which everyone then feels. Spending two Willpower allows a character to resist this influence for the scene.
