Prerequisite Charms: Joy in Violence Approach

There is stillness. And then storm. This Charm is a magical flurry composed of any Attribute- and/or Ability-based actions besides ranged attacks. The flurry is not limited to a fixed number of actions, nor does it suffer usual multiple action penalties. Instead, each action after the first suffers a cumulative -1 penalty (-1 on the second, -2 on the third, etc.). If this penalty matches or exceeds the base dice pool it penalizes before applying any modifiers, that action can't be attempted. Normal rate limits apply to attacks within this flurry, with normally infinite rate weapons reduced to base Rate 5 before adding in any rate bonuses. The DV penalty for the entire flurry is the greatest penalty among component actions (or -0 if the Infernal has Essence 4+). Although a flurry granted by this Charm involves a finite number of attacks, each attack can represent dozens or even hundreds of lightning fast strikes whose cumulative effect is equivalent to fewer, better-defined blows.
