Spirits with this Charm exercise their divine will to automatically succeed on any check of the Ability in question. When the spirit's player invokes this Charm, she forgoes rolling for a single task and instead the spirit succeeds on that task with a threshold of 0, regardless of the roll's difficulty or external penalties.

When associated with a combat Ability used to calculate a Defense Value (Martial Arts, Melee or Dodge), the spirit's player can invoke this Charm to perfectly defend against a single incoming attack, whether the attack can normally be blocked or dodged. Used in this manner, the Charm possesses one of the Four Flaws of Invulnerability. Employing Divine Subordination of (Ability) as a perfect effect costs 10 motes, 1 Willpower.

As with almost all spirit Charms, each spirit with Divine (Ability) Subordination will have unique limitations applied to its invocation (in addition to the Flaw of Invulnerability). Even when All-Encompassing, this Charm suffers one of the Four Flaws of Invulnerability when used for defense.
