Prerequisite Charms: Stolen Voice Technique

The Exalt pens a message in a hand so artful and deceptive that she can cause her reader to make an automatic assumption as to the writer's identity. Upon writing the message, roll (Manipulation + Linguistics) with (Essence) automatic successes to determine the strength of the deception when compared to the target's Resolve. To use this Charm, the Exalt must not sign the missive in question the unsigned letter invites the assumption that allows this Charm to take effect.

The Exalt may use this technique in three different ways: She can make readers believe a message was written by a specific person of whom they're aware—they do not need to know this character on a personal level. She can also make readers assume the letter was written by the person they most want the letter to be from. Lastly, if the Solar has Bureaucracy 3+, she can make readers assume the letter was written by a hierarchical superior.

Despite being a Simple-type Charm, Moving the Unseen Hand can always be used in combination with its prerequisite failure to see through Stolen Voice Technique makes the character automatically subject to Moving the Unseen Hand's deception.
