The Dragon-Blood using this Charm can instantly overcome the effects of any natural or unnatural compulsion. Most commonly used to instantly break the hold of narcotic or similar addictions without going through a lengthy withdrawal, the Charm can also act as a perfect parry against any social attack, including those that incorporate unnatural mental influence. This Charm, however, has no effect against unnatural mental influence Charms used by beings whose Essence is higher than the Dragon-Blood's. The Willpower point spent on this Charm does not count toward the two-point maximum on Willpower points that must be spent within a scene in resisting natural mental influence.

Latest Errata: This Charm empowers a curt retort to parry any mental influence, even unblockable attacks. It also rids the Exalt of all Compulsion effects currently affecting her, including all addiction. The Leader use can only parry attempts to sway the unit (such as Performance-based social attacks) and doesn't rid unit members of Compulsions.
