Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Mastery, Terrestrial, Uniform
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: White Reaper Form

Condensing the swirling corona around her into a single, blindingly bright line, the White Reaper suddenly strikes with preternatural accuracy. Bleeding Crescent Strike doubles up to (Strength) 9s on an attack roll. When attacking a battle group, she adds its Size to the number of dice that can be doubled, and may double 8s as well as 9s. While White Reaper Form is active, Bleeding Crescent Strike adds one die to the attack roll for each halo the martial artist has. However, at the end of the turn, all halos the martial artist has burn away into wisps of silver Essence, consumed by the ferocity of the attack (except for any halos received as a result of making the attack).

Terrestrial: A Dragon-Blood can only use this Charm once per scene, unless reset by stocking three or more halos.

Mastery: Any dice added to the martial artist's attack roll from halos do not count as dice added by a Charm.
