It is the Lawgivers' right to confiscate goods necessary to the service of the Unconquered Sun. This Charm enhances a valid pickpocketing roll—that is, a roll to steal something that the character can both reach and carry from another's person. The character cannot steal things in active use, such as the sword in someone's hand, the boots from the target's feet or an artifact to which someone has committed motes, unless the target is an extra.

This Charm guarantees success on the pickpocketing roll. If another Charm contests this effect, add the character's Essence in automatic successes to the (Dexterity + Larceny) roll to oppose the other Charm. In addition, characters using ordinary senses cannot spot the theft with Awareness. Even players of characters with inhuman sensory acuity—such as a spider feeling for the vibrations in its web while a character attempts to steal its larder—have a +4 difficulty penalty on the opposed roll to catch the character in the act.
