Keywords: Combo-OK, Holy, Leader, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Dragon-Graced Weapon

Since the Great Uprising, the Dragon-Blooded have accepted the burden of defending the masses of humanity against the depredations of angry ghosts and truculent spirits. Chief among their arsenal in this ongoing battle is this Charm, which permits a Dragon-Blood to charge his melee weapon with Essence so that it can damage ghosts and spirits even while they are dematerialized. Additionally, if the Exalt spends four motes instead of just two, the weapon is considered Holy for the Charm's duration and inflicts aggravated damage against creatures of darkness. The charge lasts for only a single action, although its effects do apply to each attack in a flurry. Essence for the Charm must be spent before the attack is initiated. The Charm provides no additional bonus against creatures not born of darkness.

Latest Errata: If this Charm enhances the first attack in a flurry, each activation to enhance subsequent attacks in the flurry costs 0m. The Leader use of this Charm can inflict aggravated damage but does not extend the capability to strike dematerialized beings. Ignore the last sentence of the Charm.
