It is difficult to achieve success as a military commander if one cannot avoid immolating one's own troops. For each mote committed, the Dragon-Blood may temporarily render one soldier partially immune to the damaging effects of her elemental anima. Any damage inflicted on a protected soldier by the Dragon-Blood's anima or by other elemental effects attributable to her aspect is reduced by the Dragon-Blood's Essence. The nature of this Charm is such that a Dragon-Blood can only protect a mortal soldier who is considered at least nominally "under her command." Therefore, neither bystanders nor fellow Exalts can be protected by it. When the Charm is activated, all participants must be holding hands.

This is a reflexive Charm that can be used freely without the need for a Combo. It can be activated on any tick.

Latest Errata: A steed is a valid beneficiary of this Charm. With Essence 3+, add the Cooperative and War keywords. Exalted acting as special characters in a complementary unit with Magnitude less than their Essence rating may pay 1m per Magnitude dot to shield all members of the unit with this Charm (and all their mounts, in the case of cavalry). Each additional Exalt using the Charm this way cumulatively adds +1 to the highest Essence rating among them to determine if the unit can be protected, but all participants must commit motes equal to the unit's Magnitude to do this. While an entire unit is protected, all members are shielded—even Exalted.
