The Endless Desert is more than a place. She is also an idea adjoining space and time. This Charm exudes the Essence of Cecelyne as a spherical aura extending to a radius of (Essence x 10) yards from the Infernal. Once created, the psychic field remains stationary and endures for one week. Within this space, all efforts to erode positive Intimacies need only a single scene of appropriate action to succeed regardless of the listener's Conviction rating. The effort required to build negative Intimacies likewise decreases. If eroding a particular positive Intimacy or building a particular negative Intimacy would conflict with a character's Motivation, the effort requires normal effort to succeed. Additionally, the area is considered a place of spiritual desolation (see Withered Soul Wastes). The effects of this Charm are extremely subtle and virtually imperceptible, even to Essence sight and similar magical awareness. Characters get a faint sense that something is indefinably wrong with a successful reflexive difficulty 3 (Perception + Socialize) roll made by their players.
