Things from beyond Creation are the enemies of all Luna's Chosen. Surrounding herself with a halo of silver-gold light, the Lunar strikes out at a creature of darkness and weakens it greatly. Touching the target, which usually requires a Martial Arts attack that may inflict damage, causes the creature of darkness to lose (attacker's Essence x 3) motes in a brilliant display of Essence. If the target's player fails a Willpower roll at a difficulty equal to the Lunar's Essence, the attack also reduces the target's effective Essence by one dot for all purposes.

Creatures reduced to zero effective Essence by this Charm are destroyed, though some may have the ability to reform or be reformed by another entity. Reduced permanent Essence returns at a rate of one per day; Essence pools refill normally.
