Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Any two Intelligence Excellencies

By spending a point of Willpower and a mote of Essence while tasting another person's blood, the Lunar may temporarily use that person's Abilities and memories. The Lunar does not have to take the person's shape (though this Charm can be used with Prey's Skin Disguise and Life of the Hummingbird). He may also call on the Abilities of a sentient creature whose shape he previously took using Prey's Skin Disguise or other Knacks. For the next scene, the character can use either his own Ability or the other person's, whichever rating is greater. Once the Charm's duration ends, the memories and Abilities vanish forever. This Charm can only be used once per person, ever. Lunar Exalted usually reserve this Charm for important short-term impersonations and emergency skill uses.
