Lunar Exalted show the world what it wants to see. This Charm supplements a dramatic action to craft any forgery or imitation. What is being forged is irrelevant as long as the character intends to craft an object that will be mistaken for another original work or by another artisan. Written letters, wax seals, famous paintings and sculptures, mighty artifacts, others' appearances and more are all valid targets.

The action to create the object takes the normal length of time, but each roll takes no penalty from the attempt at forgery. A Lunar with this Charm has no special advantage in crafting, say, a daiklave that actually functions... but if he can craft it at all, he can just as easily make an exact copy of Tepet Arada's daiklave Restless Wind... or if the Lunar can only forge mundane blades, he can craft an ordinary sword that looks just like the famous Tepet heirloom—assuming he knows what it looks like in the first place.
