An iridescent sheen comes over the martial artist's garments as [[Essence]] enfolds them, turning silk as strong as steel. Any clothing the martial artist wears while this [[Charm]] is active is treated as mortal light [[armor]]. This is explicitly compatible with this style, but not with any other styles that forbid armor. In addition, whenever the martial artist is hit by an [[attack]], she may spend up to her ([[Appearance]]) in motes, adding one point to her armored soak against that attack for each mote spent this way. 

Mastery: The first time the martial artist uses this Charm to defend against a [[decisive]] attack in a fight, she reveals the supernal resilience of her seemingly vulnerable figure, gaining hardness 10 against the attack as well as a surge of three motes that can be spent to add to the armor's soak, or on similar effects, such as many Solar [[Resistance]] Charms. These motes vanish at the end of the scene if not spent. {{Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style Charms}}
