As the Dragon-Blood grows more like the mountains he emulates, he realizes that even breathing is a luxury he can do without. For the rest of the scene after the invocation of this Charm, the Dragon-Blood does not breathe. He can survive underwater, in clouds of poisonous gas or volcanic ash or even in supernaturally created voids. Yet, while the Charm is in effect, he not only does not need to breathe, he cannot breathe. Consequently, speech is impossible for the duration of the Charm. The Exalt can extend the effects of this Charm to other people by touching them and spending two additional motes of Essence per person. A target must be willing, however, or the Charm does not affect him.
