Prerequisite Charms: Nemesis Self Imagined Anew

The Ebon Dragon delights in taking advantage of an enemy’s weakness. This Charm may enhance any attempt at mental influence toward a character the Infernal has mirrored with Nemesis Self Imagined Anew, making that influence unnatural. If the influence preys on one of the target's Intimacies, the roll to impose the influence is made at target number 6. Influence that preys on Motivation uses target number 5. If the influence attacks Motivation through an Intimacy, the target's MDV is halved (rounded down), and the roll is made at target number 4.

The Ultimate Darkness believes no happiness or love is unsullied by bitterness. Essence 3+ Infernals who purchase this Charm a second time gain the benefits of preying on Intimacies and/or Motivation if the influence normally would be resisted by such traits (-3 MDV and target number 5 for attacking a Motivation, for example). The victim must still spend Willpower to resist a successful social attack that goes against his Motivation.
