based on a Charms highest minimum Grace. If a Charm has no
Grace minimum, use its Essence minimum to determine cost instead.

long as the Combo makes sense.
Gossamer
Source: [1, pp. 148149][3, p. 98]

Gossamer is the physical substance of dream-stuff, whether drawn
from mortal dreams or sheer Wyld potential. The raksha use it to fuel
their magic, but also as a form of currency. Gossamer is a physical
substance to the raksha, external to themselves; it is not an internalized trait such as Essence or Willpower. As such, there is no limit to
the amount of gossamer a raksha may have at any time. Raksha may
always access their stored stockpiles of gossamer regardless of where
they areso a raksha in Creation may freely weave the gossamer he
has stored Elsewhere, even without using an Evocation to bring it
into the world.
Raksha Charms do not require gossamer to affect the Creationborn.
However, raksha are also capable of creating glamour Combos.

Glamour Combos are not purchased with experience; Fair Folk may
enact them spontaneously by paying one Willpower, one gossamer
to create any legal Combo they desire out of known raksha Charms.
Martial Arts Charms may not be used to create Glamour Combos,
though if the raksha desires, she may add one gossamer to the cost of
a Martial Arts Combo she has paid experience for to enhance it with
additional raksha Charms that are not normally part of the Combo.

Echo
Source: [3, p. 98]

The haunting songs of the Wyld carry different meanings for the
ears of the Creation-born. Charms with this keyword are essentially
two Charms in one, with two different faces: Dreaming and Waking.
In general, a Charms Dreaming aspect focuses on Shaping actions and dealing with the things of the Wyld, while its Waking
aspect focuses on normal actions and the denizens and things of
Creation. Echo Charms in Graceful Wicked Masques generally detail
their Dreaming aspect in their Charm rules block, and their Waking
aspect as an Innate Power; the presented errata reflects this.
A character who buys any Echo Charm gains both the Dreaming
and Waking versions of the Charm at no additional cost.

This keyword, accompanied by a value, indicates the number of

enhancing behemoths, both most often used by raksha. Generally,
this keyword indicates that a Charm lends its effect to those who
have sworn themselves to an adjuration as a permanent benefit, or
that a behemoth gains its effects as a permanent benefit. Charms
with variable effects may contain clarifying notes.

Shaped-Only
Source: [1, p. 153][3, p. 98]

The Charm can be used only by shaped raksha, whether in Creation or the Wyld. Such Charms are generally not part of shaping
actions (although one might be able to incorporate such a Charm
into a shaping action with a clever stunt). An unshaped raksha can
learn a Shaped-Only Charm and incorporate it into creations such
as behemoths, oneiromantic spells and even lesser raksha created to
serve it, but it can never apply the effects of a Shaped-Only Charm
to its own unshaped form without first becoming shaped. Nor can
an unshaped rakshas Emanations ever use Shaped-Only Charms on
themselves without first becoming shaped.
Creation-born are considered to be shaped raksha for the purpose
of learning and using these Charms, assuming they have some means
of learning raksha Charms in the first place.

Assumption
A raksha may simultaneously wear multiple Assumption Charms, but

this does not render them Stackable, as they are technically separate
Charms. Raksha who have multiple active Assumptions may not
selectively choose which to manifestshe wears all her active forms
at once. She is a sentient stain on a city, and a person strolling
through it. A raksha made of fire and joy may not switch between
being made of joy and being made of fireshe is a raksha made of
fire and joy, at all times. Raksha who have taken an Assumption
as a permanent Charm may still activate additional Assumptions,
modifying their permanent body thereby. Thus, a raksha with a
permanent Assumption of Fire Shape may also wear an Assumption
of Water Shape or Assumption of Cerements and Bone, permitting
her to one day appear as a raksha of steam, the next as a raksha of
pyre-flame. She must always be a raksha wearing an Assumption of
Fire to at least some degree, howeversuch is the price of becoming
a permanent being of shape.
The Essence cost of Assumption Charms must be committed while
they remain active, as normal. Raksha who do not wish to pay this
onerous Essence burden may learn an Assumption as a permanent
Charm with no associated Essence cost. . . but in doing so they irreversibly render themselves shaped beings, becoming that which the
unshaped of the deep Wyld hate above all else. Raksha may learn no
more than one Assumption as a permanent Charm.

Assumption of (Element) Shape

Duration: Indefinite or Permanent
Source: [1, pp. 156157][3, p. 71]
This Charm permits a shaped raksha to enter Creation in a form
(usually humanoid) aspected to one of the five elements. This is the
most commonly used Assumption among noble raksha. This Charm
is actually a cluster of five separate Charms, each of which confers a
different benefit and must be learned separately. The raksha chooses
the element he will assume when invoking this Charm and cannot
change it without reentering the Wyld to dispel and then reapply
this Charm.
A raksha who maintains multiple versions of this Charm has the
option of wearing any of the forms available to him or of combining
two or more elements into a single form. For example, a raksha who
had activated both Assumption of Air Shape and Assumption of Fire
Shape would have the option of appearing as a being of solid smoke,
while another raksha could combine Assumption of Earth Shape and
Assumption of Water Shape to manifest as a creature of mud.
Assumption of Air Shape A raksha who enters Creation in this
form suffers no ill effects from cold and can walk on ice or snow as
if it were solid, stable ground. Raksha protected by Assumption
of Air Shape often appear to be made of ice or snow, or simply
have luminescent white skin.
Assumption of Earth Shape A raksha who enters Creation in
this form can see clearly in the darkest depths. Raksha protected by Assumption of Earth Shape often have bodies of stone,
CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
earth or precious gems, or simply have brown or jet-black skin.
Assumption of Fire Shape A raksha who enters Creation in this
form is immune to all non-magical heat- and fire-based forms
of damage. Raksha protected by Assumption of Fire Shape frequently appear to be made of fire or magma, or simply have red,
orange or black skin.
Assumption of Water Shape A raksha who enters Creation in
this form can swim at her normal movement rate, can breathe water as well as air and can otherwise function freely in an aquatic
environment. Raksha protected by Assumption of Water Shape
often have liquid forms, or simply possess blue or green skin.
Assumption of Wood Shape A raksha who enters Creation in
this form can maintain his balance on even the thinnest tree
branch. The raksha can also resist any natural poison with just
one success on a (Stamina + Resistance) roll. Raksha protected
by Assumption of Wood Shape appear to be covered in bark,
leaves or moss, or simply possess brown or green skin.
If the raksha already wears an active Assumption, the cost of this
Charm becomes 3m, 1g.
Assumption of (Element) Shape may be learned as a permanent
Charm, but raksha who learn it in this fashion are permanently incapable of passing back through the Gateway of Sundraprisha and
becoming unshaped once again.
Oneiromancy Benefit: Incorporated into an oneiromancy spell, this
Charm allows the spell to exist in Creation in some kind of elemental
form, such as an object of wood or paper (which is based on Assumption of Wood Shape), a potion (which is based on Assumption of
Water Shape), or one made of metal (which is based on Assumption
of Earth Shape or Assumption of Fire Shape).

Assumption of Bestial Visage
Keywords: Assumption, Glamour (1), Mutation (1), ShapedOnly
Source: [1, pp. 157158][3, p. 71]
This Charm permits a shaped raksha to exist in Creation in a humanoid form with animalistic characteristics. When first acquiring
this Charm, the raksha must choose a specific animal of Creation
upon which she bases her bestial form. The raksha gains a number
of mutation points equal to her Essence to apply to the Assumption,
which can be used to purchase poxes, afflictions, blights or abominations appropriate to modeling the animal the raksha will emulate.
For example, a cat-based raksha with Essence 2 might possess some
combination of Claws, Enhanced Sight, Fur or a Tail, each of which is
a pox worth one mutation point. When the raksha raises her Essence,
she may re-spend all mutation points granted by this Charm for the
purpose of defining her animal features.
Each time the raksha purchases this Charm, it grants her the characteristics of a different animal. The Assumption always causes the
raksha to enter Creation in a humanoid form with animal characteristics instead of simply in the form of an animal, absent the use of other
Charms. This is the Assumption most commonly used by commoner
raksha.
Assumption of Bestial Visage may be learned as a permanent
Charm, but Raksha who learn it in this fashion are permanently
incapable of passing back through the Gateway of Sundraprisha and
Charm allows the spell to exist in Creation in some kind of animalistic

form, such as a bulls horn or a monkeys paw.
Assumption of Cerements and Bone
Source: [1, p. 158][3, p. 71]
This Charm permits a shaped raksha to exist in Creation or the
Underworld in a form resembling one of the undead. The raksha is
material, intelligent and ambulatory while in Creation but is otherwise treated as being one of the dead. The raksha can receive Essence
from burnt offerings, and she is vulnerable to the powers of Deathlords
and the like. While in this form, the raksha can use Charms such as
Banquet of Crumbs in a shadowland or in the Underworld, and ghosts
become valid targets for Ravishing the Created Form and other Feeding Charms.
Assumption of Cerements and Bone may be learned as a permanent
Charm allows the spell to exist in Creation in some kind of deathaspected form, such as a human skull or a cursed coffin.
Assumption of the Persons Heart
Keywords: Assumption, Glamour (1), Mutation (1), ShapedOnly,
Shaping
22
Prerequisite Charms: Any Assumption Charm
Source: [1, pp. 158159][3, p. 72]
This Charm allows the raksha instill a minor Wyld taint on a
Creation-born. Assumption of the Persons Heart must be activated
while in sight of the Creation-born to be tainted, and this Charm
cannot target Creation-born with active Shaping defenses. Unlike
most Assumption Charms, this Charm may be activated in Creation
as well as the Wyld.
Thereafter, the raksha can travel in Creation along with the affected Creation-born. Her assumed form is designed to appeal to the
Creation-borns emotions in some way, whether to entice him or to
terrify him. Regardless, the raksha gains two automatic successes
on all social rolls against the Creation-born she taints. If the raksha
has also activated Assumption of Dreams and Passion, the automatic
successes from both Charms stack.
If the raksha has activated no other Assumptions, she has no manifested existence in Creation apart from the one she taints. If the
Creation-born is rendered unconscious or if she leaves his sight, she
instantly dematerializes as if she were a spirit (but at no Essence
cost), and she has no power to affect Creation or be perceived by others who are unable to sense dematerialized spirits. In this state, the
raksha can be harmed only by attacks capable of harming dematerialized spirits. If the tainted Creation-born is slain and the raksha has
no other active Assumptions, she suffers the effects of normal calcification effects for a raksha caught in Creation without an Assumption
Charm. If the raksha does have another active Assumption, she can
freely materialize into that form and dematerialize at will at a cost
of one mote.
While the link between the two endures, the raksha can share the
benefits of any active mutations or currently active Charms that enhances herself with her pet Creation-born. For example, if the raksha
CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
has Assumption of Water Shape active, she can grant the Creationborn the power to breathe and move freely underwater. Conferring
such a benefit costs the raksha one point of gossamer per mutation
point in the case of conferred mutation benefits or a number of gossamer points equal to the gossamer cost of the Charm for any Charm
benefits shared. In the case of the raksha with Assumption of Water
Shape active, the raksha must spend one point of gossamer to confer
the benefits of Assumption of Water Shape on the Creation-born (the
gossamer cost of Assumption of Water Shape).
The raksha can withdraw any conferred gifts at any time as a reflexive action. If the raksha leaves the creatures presence, the effects
of any benefits conferred still continue until withdrawn.
Assumption of the Persons Heart may be learned as a permanent
Charm, but Raksha who learn it in this fashion are permanently incapable of passing back through the Gateway of Sundraprisha and
becoming unshaped once again. If the raksha has taken this Charm
as a permanent Charm and the person she has bound herself to dies or
otherwise manages to render himself an invalid target for this Charm,
the raksha may assign it to a new individual for a cost of one gossamer. She may only do this if she loses her current host; she may
not otherwise change hosts at will.
Oneiromancy Benefit: This Charm is seldom used as the physical
component for an oneiromancy spell, but it can be incorporated into
a spell designed to affect specific individuals.
Assumption of the Lands Heart
23
Source: [1, pp. 159160][3, p. 72]
This Charm allows the raksha to transform himself into a subtle
Wyld taint that infects an entire region of Creation. Unlike most
Assumption Charms, this Charm may be activated in Creation as
well as the Wyld. When activated, the raksha distills his being into a
small physical object that contains his Heart Grace. The object can
then be transported into Creation by another, and while there, the
Heart Grace can perform a series of preprogrammed glamour effects
that can affect everyone within the region covered by the taint. For
example, the Heart Grace might be programmed to maintain the
Fearsome Mien Charm to perpetually frighten away everyone in the
area or the Beguilement Charm to maintain a specific delusion among
the inhabitants of the region. The raksha must know the Charms to
be incorporated into the Heart Graces programming and must pay
(and commit) any costs associated with Charms he wishes to program
into his Heart upon activating this Assumption. This does not require
a Combo.
The area that can be affected by the Heart Grace is a small area,
such as a tiny village of up to 25 people in size. The rakshas entire Essence diffuses across the affected area, and any rolls made by
the Heart Grace apply against every valid target within that area.
While the Assumption endures, the raksha himself exists as an immaterial spirit-like being diffused across the affected area. He cannot
be perceived or harmed except through appropriate magical powers.
The disadvantage of using this Charm is that, while the raksha is
immaterial and separated from his Heart Grace, he is devoid of selfmotivation. The raksha cannot spend Willpower, nor can he initiate
any action other than to protect himself, to answer questions put to
him or to perform rote tasks. He cannot initiate any new actions. A
raksha who activates this Assumption Charm and another one simultaneously can maintain a separate physical form. While wearing that
form, the raksha still cannot spend Willpower but otherwise suffers
CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
none of the normal penalties of Assumption of the Lands Heart.
Detecting a Wyld taint on an area requires a successful difficulty 3
(Perception + Occult) roll. Actually finding the hidden Heart Grace
requires a successful difficulty 5 (Perception + Occult) roll. Charms
such as All-Encompassing Sorcerers Sight allow automatic success on
such rolls.
Assumption of the Lands Heart may be learned as a permanent
Oneiromancy Benefit: Usually incorporated into a higher level
oneiromancy spell along with Assumption of (Element) Shape, this
Charm allows the spell to affect mortals in a large area that fits within
the normal range parameters of the Charm.

This Charm permits a shaped raksha to exist in Creation in a humanoid form without the obviously inhuman appearance associated
with most Assumption Charms. The rakshas new form is cunningly
crafted to invoke in those around him a particular emotion or passion or belief important to the rakshas identity. While wearing this
shape, the raksha adds one automatic success to all social rolls where
24
invoking that emotion is useful, and gains a +1 MDV bonus to resist mental influence that does not align with his chosen emotional
context. For example, a beautiful Luminary who had assumed the
aspect of love might gain one automatic success on all rolls to seduce
mortals, while a terrible Cataphract who had assumed the aspect of
fear might gain an automatic success to intimidation rolls. A raksha
could also use this Charm in order to pose as a specific individual,
adding one automatic success to all rolls necessary to maintain the
imposture.
The raksha chooses the emotion or passion or belief when invoking this Charm and cannot change it without entering the Wyld to
dispel and then reapply this Charm. If he is willing to pay the cost,
however, the raksha may choose to activate more than one version of
this Charm simultaneously. For example, he could assume one form
based on love and another based on fear and a third that lets him
pose as a specific individual such as the madam of a local whorehouse
or the Dragon-Blooded satrap of the whole city. Although only one
of those forms is physically apparent at a time, the raksha can draw
upon the automatic success benefits of all three versions. A raksha
cannot, however, add more than one automatic success to a single
roll no matter how many concurrent versions of this Charm he has
active.
Assumption of Dreams and Passion may be learned as a permanent
Charm allows the spell to exist in Creation in some kind of emotionally resonant form, such as a heartshaped locket to represent love or
a blood-stained whip to represent fear.

The raksha can draw upon the foundations of Creation in conjunction with the inherent properties of raksha narrative magic. She
must have Assumption of Bestial Visage, Assumption of Cerements
and Bone, Assumption of Dreams and Passion, or Assumption of (Element) Shape active. She may spend one mote per die to enhance
any non-Shaping action taken by herself or anyone she may directly
perceive. The raksha must be able to define how she is using the
appropriate aspect of her active assumption to assist her, and may
not add more than (Essence) dice.

This Charm offers two effects, depending on what Assumption the
raksha has active. The raksha must have Assumption of (Element)
Shape or Assumption of Dreams and Passion active to use the benefits
of this Charm.
If the raksha has an Assumption of (Element) Shape active, this
Charm ingratiates the rakshas chosen form with the elemental archi-
27
tecture across which all of Creation is draped. The rakshas deceptive
shape is so cunningly designed to emulate the elemental form that the
element that has been copied responds to the rakshas will. She may
sculpt the element with which she is aligned as if it were clay using a standard Craft roll, paying two motes per Crafting roll to do
so. Sculpted air, fire or water gains a solid form that will hold its
shape for one lunar cycle. Wood and Earth may be worked without
tools with no penalty; the presence of such tools adds two dice to all
crafting efforts (these count as dice added by a Charm). This Charm
also allows a raksha to modify the appearance of an elemental of the
appropriate element, sculpting its features with her bare hands. Objects owned by Creation-born with higher Essence than the raksha
cannot be sculpted without the owners consent, nor may cold iron.
With Essence 4+, sculpted air, fire and water may retain their new
shape indefinitely.
Alternately, if the raksha has Assumption of Dreams and Passion
active, he can now forcefully instill that emotion into the very souls
of those pitiful mortals who cross his path. The rakshas player rolls
(Manipulation + Presence) against a mortal targets MDV. If successful, he may redefine the targets Motivation to his liking. This
altered Motivation reverts to normal after one story. This unnatural
mental influence may be resisted by spending two points of Willpower
in the Wyld, or one in Creation. Characters with cold iron touching
their skin are immune to this use of the Charm.
If the raksha has Assumption of Cerements and Bone active, he
may also redefine the Motivation of ghosts.
With Essence 5+ the raksha may alter the Motivation any unExalted human. Essence 7+ permits the Motivations of spirits to be
rewritten.

As the raksha focuses the intensity of the emotion or belief she

This Charm offers two effects, depending on what Assumption the
raksha has active. The raksha must have Assumption of Bestial Visage or Assumption of (Element) Shape active to use the benefits of
this Charm.
If the raksha has Assumption of (Element) Shape active, her elemental disguise nears perfection. She is now so fully attuned to the
element she has assumed that she can call upon it to attack her enemies in Creation. This Charm may be used in a varying fashion,
based on which elemental Assumptions the raksha is wearing. These
attacks are considered environmental hazards and fail to harm characters protected from such threats. They normally cost five motes
if there is a sufficient quantity of the appropriate element present to
manipulate. If an insufficient quantity is present, the raksha may
conjure up the element by adding one gossamer to the Charms cost.
Air The raksha directs howling winds, lightning bolts, or freezing
hail to slay an opponent. She makes a (Dexterity + [Archery
CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
or Survival]) attack, targeted at a character she can perceive
within 100 yards of either herself or an air-based environmental
hazard; this attack is undodgeable, with a base damage of 5L.
If no appropriate hazard is present, the raksha may pay one
gossamer to create and hurl lightning at an opponent within 100
yards.
Earth The Charm may be used in one of two ways. First, the raksha may cause the earth to shake. All characters standing on the
ground within 30 yards must roll (Dexterity + Athletics) against
a difficulty of the rakshas Essence or be knocked prone. Alternately, the raksha may tear stones from the ground and hurl
them at characters within 100 yards. These attacks are made
with (Dexterity + [Martial Arts or Survival]) and are unblockable, with a base damage of 8B. If the raksha is not within five
yards of the ground, she may conjure stone and hurl it for a one
gossamer surcharge.
Fire The raksha may strike at any character she may perceive within
100 yards of a significant degree of flame. This attack uses a
pool of ([Dexterity or Wits] + [Archery or Craft]), with a base
damage of 10L. If sufficient fire is not available, she may conjure
it in order to attack a target within 100 yards for a one gossamer
surcharge.
Water The raksha may cause the ocean, a river, a lake, or any similarly large quantity of water to rise up against his enemy as a
crushing wave. The target must be within 20 yards of the water. This attack is unblockable or undodgeable at the rakshas
discretion, uses an attack pool of (Stamina + [Thrown or Sail])
with a base damage of 0B, and automatically inflicts 10 yards of
knockback and knockdown if it strikes. If there is no sufficient
quantity of water present, the raksha may spend one gossamer to
29
conjure a wave with which to strike at a target within 100 yards.
Wood The raksha can turn a whole forest against her adversary. The
target must be within 30 yards of a tree or other large plant. This
attack is made with the rakshas (Strength + [Martial Arts or
Survival]), has a base damage of 5B, and acts as a successful
Blockade Movement action if it strikes, preventing the target
from moving in any direction until the rakshas DV refreshes. If
no suitable foliage is in range, the raksha may summon plants to
attack a target within 100 yards for a one gossamer surcharge.
If the raksha has Assumption of Bestial Visage active, she is now
nearly one with Creations animal kingdom. She is so fully attuned
to Creations animal life that she can call upon it to attack her enemies. She may create an environmental hazard in the form of a
wild animal attack, whether wild dogs or plague of rats or swarm
of killer bees. Regardless of the form these conjurations take, the
raksha targets an area (Essence 3) yards in diameter within 100
yards with one-time environmental hazard (Damage [Essence + 2]L,
Trauma 3). Creation-born may substitute their Parry or Dodge DV
in automatic successes in place of a Resistance roll to overcome the
attacks Trauma, if desired.

CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
Some raksha are accomplished shapeshifters, though their skills are
inferior to the Lunar Exalted (at least while in Creation). Activating
this Charm allows the raksha to disguise herself as a part of Creation,
corresponding to what Assumption the raksha has active. The raksha
must have Assumption of Bestial Visage, Assumption of Cerements
and Bone, or any Assumption of (Element) Shape active to use this
Charm.
If the raksha has Assumption of Bestial Visage active, she disguises
herself as the animal her Bestial Visage is based on. The raksha
defines her precise bestial appearance anew each time she activates
this Charm. She may speak in any language she knows while wearing
this form, and gains (Essence + 3) points of mutations with which to
garnish this form.
If the raksha has Assumption of Cerements and Bone active, she
disguises herself as a ghost. The raksha defines her precise ghostly
appearance anew each time she activates this Charm. The raksha
gains (Essence + 3) points of mutations with which to garnish this
form.
If the raksha has Assumption of (Element) Shape active, she disguises herself as an elemental corresponding to an element she has
as an active Assumption. The raksha defines her precise elemental
appearance anew each time she activates this Charm. The raksha
gains (Essence + 3) points of mutations with which to garnish this
form.
Contact with cold iron dispels this Charm instantly.
This disguise is perfect in the eyes of all characters with an Occult
rating less than 4; if given cause to suspect the raksha is not what
she seems, characters with sufficiently high Occult may make a (Perception + [Occult if Elemental, Survival if Bestial]) roll at a difficulty
of the rakshas Heart in order to identify her for what she is.
If the raksha has any Assumption of Bestial Visage Charms, she
also gains the permanent ability to communicate with animals of the
30
type her Bestial Visage is based on when she acquires this Charm.
Oneiromancy Benefit: Used in the aspect of the elements or the
ossuary, this Charm may only be incorporated into inward-facing
dreams.
Used bestially, this Charm may be incorporated into inward-facing
dreams for two points, or outward-facing glamours for three points.
Outward-facing glamours transform characters who undertake a certain sort of action specified during the creation of the spell into animals for one day per dot of the lorekeepers Essence.

The raksha reaches out with her stolen form, turning the very foundations of Creation against their inhabitants. She must have Assumption of Bestial Visage, Assumption of Cerements and Bone, Assumption of Dreams and Passion, or an Assumption of (Element) Shape
active to use this Charm.

penalty equal to her Essence against a single action she witnesses.

Bestial Visage, Assumption of Cerements and Bone, Assumption of
Dreams and Passion, or an Assumption of (Element) Shape active to
use this Charm. For each three motes committed to Mercurial Shape,
the raksha may add one die to all rolls to facilitate a certain sort of
action. The rakshas player must define what sort of change is made
in the context of his active Assumption to acquire this bonus. The
effect lasts as long as the raksha commits Essence to this Charm,
but may only apply to one specific sort of action (Melee-based attack
rolls, Survival rolls to track prey, Dodge attempts, and so on) with
the breadth of a specialty.

The raksha builds into his very being an undeniable truth in the
form of a mundane task for which failure, for him, is nearly impossible.
Each time this Charm is purchased, the player chooses an Attribute,
an Ability and a specialty that define a specific mundane action.
While this Charm is active, the raksha guarantees himself at least
one success on the (Attribute + Ability [Specialty]) roll he has chosen
to improve. If internal penalties reduce his dice pool to 0, he still gets
one success. If external penalties (including DV) reduce his successes
to 0, he still gets one success. In combat (assuming the dice pool
to which this Charm is applied is an attack roll), the raksha will
always hit his target, although this Charm does nothing to aid him
in penetrating soak.
Two limitations on this power exist, however. First, the raksha
does not gain an automatic success if his action is opposed by either
Charms or a stunt. Second, the raksha cannot do something that
is simply impossible. For example, a Fair Folk Cataphract might
choose (Dexterity + Archery [Longbow]) to become the worlds greatest archer. Generally, he is assured of hitting a target regardless of
environmental penalties, DV, extreme range and no matter how small
the target is. If the range is so great that it is simply beyond the possible range of a bow, however, this power cannot guarantee his success.
Similarly, even though he is certain to hit a fleeing mortal enemy with
his bow, he does not gain the single automatic success if the enemy
stunts (leaping out into a chasm to escape the Fair Folk pursuers) or
uses a Dodge Charm to evade the arrow.
Used as a defense, this Charms vulnerability to stunts and Charms
is considered a unique Flaw of Invulnerability.
If the raksha learns multiple iterations of this Charm, she may
activate all of them at once for a flat cost of 10m, 1wp.

While Imposition of Law defines an action at which the raksha is
certain to succeed, this Charm defines a type of danger from which
the raksha need have no fear. This Charm is actually a cluster of five
Charms, one associated with each of the Graces. Each Charm renders
the raksha generally immune to a fairly broad source of non-magical
harm or to a particular form of shaping damage. In Creation, if
the raksha is threatened by a magically augmented attack (as defined
under each of the descriptions that follow), Bastion of the Self instead
improves his defense against the attack. In the Wyld, it confers total
immunity to the listed shaping damage type.
A raksha can purchase this Charm only once, and no version of this
Charm will protect a raksha from attacks or damage that incorporate
cold iron.
This Charm has no activation cost, but instead functions to permanently fortify the raksha against the threats of the world and his
own kind.
Cup The raksha is protected from non-magical effects that weaken
the raksha in some way or reduce any of his traits (poisons, disease, dehydration, etc.), as well as Cup-shaping attacks. If the

effect is the result of a Charm, spell or innate power, including
natural poisons created through magical means (such as raksha powers or Lunar shapeshifting), the raksha instead adds his
Essence in dice to any relevant roll to resist the effect.
Ring The raksha is protected from nonmagical Compulsion effects
and from Ring-shaping attacks. If the effect is magical, including
Excellency-enhanced social attacks, the raksha instead adds his
Essence to his applicable MDV.
Staff The raksha is protected from nonmagical Emotion effects and
from Staff-shaping attacks. If the effect is magical, including
Excellency-enhanced social attacks, the raksha instead adds his
Essence to his applicable MDV.
Sword The raksha is immune to all nonmagical attacks and to
Sword-shaping attacks. In this context, attacks include any
deliberate attempt to inflict harm on the raksha with mundane
weaponry or nonmagical martial arts. If an attack made against
the raksha employs either a magical weapon or uses a Charm,
other supernatural power, or stunt, the raksha instead adds his
Essence to his applicable DV.
Heart The raksha is immune to all nonmagical forms of damage from
any source. Against normal attacks, it duplicates the benefits of
Bastion of the Self (Sword). Against environmental damage effects, it confers total immunity to damage unless the environmental damage is caused by a magical effect, including the Charms of
raksha and elementals or the anima powers of Dragon-Blooded.
Where environmental damage effects are the result of magic, the
raksha either adds his Essence to any applicable DV or adds his
Essence in dice to any relevant dice roll to resist damage. Bastion of the Self (Heart) provides no protection whatsoever from
shaping attacks.

and lovers, and crush themselves beneath mountains to prove obscure
philosophical points. It always faintly surprises them that Creation is
so unforgiving of such minor indulgences, but no matterthey have

snatch at an environmental hazard, deftly weaving it into a protective
shawl of glamour that he may drape about his body. Doing so provides immunity to that one particular environmental hazard for the
Charms duration. This Charm terminates itself if the raksha comes
into physical contact with cold iron while it is active.
Oneiromancy Benefit: Incorporated into an oneiromantic spell, this
Charm provides immunity to one pre-selected form of environmental

The dreaming mind of a mortal has much in common with the

This Charm allows a raksha to influence the subconscious mind of a
consenting mortal, invoking a potent dream, vision or hallucination to
be shared by the raksha and the mortal. As with Ravishing the Created Form, consent can be secured through invasive, mind-altering
means. The shared dream is distracting to both parties, inflicting
a 1 internal distraction penalty on both the raksha and the mortal

the mortal, if he is capable of shaping actions) to possess the benefits
of accessing a Wyld zone even while in Creations confines, as the
chaotic infrastructure of the shared dreamscape is just as malleable
as the Middlemarches to a skilled dream crafter.

she can even abandon her current Assumption Charm and activate a

Those who become entranced by the beautiful horror of the Wyld

to summon to her (in either the Wyld or in Creation) any character
who is either currently addicted to her presence or who has been in
the past.
The rakshas player rolls (Manipulation + Performance) against her
desired targets Dodge MDV. If the roll is successful, when the target
next sleeps their dreams will be filled with overwhelming images of
the raksha and her current location, coupled with an overwhelming
Compulsion to see her again. Spending five Willpower immunizes
an addict to this summons for one month; spending one Willpower

not break their addiction until they have overcome or completed their

At Essence 4+, the raksha may also inflict a derangement of her
choice on an addict who has fallen prey to her summons (generally

Having learned how to pass as a being of Creation, the raksha can
now weave himself into the fabric of human social interaction. This
Charm allows a raksha who has entered Creation to spread gossamer
out into the surrounding community, forming new relationships between the raksha and the mortals of the area, relationships that affected mortals absolutely believe to be preexisting and completely

each success, the raksha gains one temporary dot of Allies or Followers (he can split successes among the two Backgrounds as he wishes).
The raksha does not actually get to choose his allies or followers,

allies and followers maintain their fully developed relationship with
the raksha for the duration of the current season.
As a side effect, third parties who do not become allies or followers but would otherwise be expected to know of such a relationship

CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
The people of Creation fear the Fair Folkand for good reason
but sometimes, it is not helpful to be feared. When activated in
conjunction with an Assumption Charm, this Charm causes the form
the raksha wears in Creation to appear less threatening to mortals.
If the rakshas basic form is at least humanoid, this Charm allows
her to pass as a normal human. If her form is clearly non-human,
this Charm causes Creation-born to recognize her as a natural and
beneficial god of Creation.
In either case, absent the application of powerful Charms such as
All-Encompassing Sorcerers Sight, it is normally impossible for an
observer to ever notice that the raksha is one of the Fair Folk. The
disguise generated by this Charm functions much as a Lunars Tell
only characters with a Dodge MDV of 8 or higher may see through
the rakshas deception. This unnatural Illusion may be pierced by
spending one Willpower if Creation-born are given reason to suspect
the raksha is not what she seems, but only characters of equal or
higher Essence may make this expenditure.
An unshaped raksha who knows this Charm can cause a veil of
seeming normalcy to fall over the waypoint that defines it, causing all
who enter to believe that the waypoint is familiar location, possibly

By learning this Charm, the raksha totally negates that penalty. In

The gossamer unleashed by the Fair Folk on unsuspecting mortals
transforms into a hailstorm of misery and bad luck. In this manner,
the raksha rewrites the part a mortal plays, reducing him in stature
from a leading role to a mere bit player. The raksha must be able to
directly perceive her target to use this Charm against them. After
the raksha interacts with a Creation-born, her player rolls (Manipulation + Larceny) in an opposed roll against the targets (Charisma

resisted roll. For each extra success accumulated by the raksha, the
target loses one dot in Allies, Followers or Mentor, as chosen by the
raksha. A sudden argument causes an ally to storm away from the
character. A follower becomes distracted by some urgent business
and can no longer attend to the characters needs. The mentor is
distracted, preoccupied, kidnapped or otherwise unable to come to

to exist within the Wyld. For the rest of the story, anyone who enters
the affected waypoint automatically journeys on to the next adjacent
waypoint without taking an additional Journey action. This Charm
cannot swallow waypoints that are part of a freehold or unshaped.

The raksha may twist the boundaries of an area within Creation

a building, a clearing within a forest, or a cabin within a ship, for
example. So long as the raksha commits Essence to this Charm and
remains within the warded area, no character outside the enchanted
locale may successfully find an entrance, and no character within may
successfully find an exit. This Charm fails to deter characters with

This frightening technique allows the raksha to protect themselves

character is able to perfectly defend herself from an unwanted Shaping

with the Graces or Charms enhancing such attacks; it only works
against traditional Shaping Charms of the Creation-born, such as

The raksha tears away a piece of her soul and uses it as a viewing
lens to focus her ire on her enemy with the intensity of 10,000 suns.
This Charm allows the raksha to fashion a ranged shaping weapon
from her own body. This weapon becomes one of her possessions for
the duration of the shaping battle. The lens has an Accuracy bonus
and a Rate both equal to the rakshas Essence. It has a Speed of 4,
and a Range of up to 10 waypoints. The raksha can use the lens as
a shaping weapon for Ring-shaping attacks, for which it has a base
Damage equal to (Perception + Essence), or for Staff-shaping attacks,
for which it has a base Damage equal to (Charisma + Essence). Neither type of attack has any damage cap for Perception or Charisma.

Just as a fly compresses all of its possible futures into one by falling

falling into innumerable strands of the rakshas ingenious plans. This
Charm allows the raksha to make a magical Ring- or Staff-shaping
flurry. Each attack is at the rakshas full dice pool, and the total
number of attacks is equal to her Essence. Unlike most Extra Action
Charms, this Charm grants the raksha no DV penalty discount on
the flurry it creates.

A raksha activating this Charm is briefly surrounded by a flickering
haze of potentiality, displaying the many futures that could occur in
the span of the next heartbeat. Before witnesses can do more than
begin to realize what they are seeing, the display collapses into a
single deadly reality. This Charm allows the raksha to reroll a physical

With this Charm, the raksha invokes one of the lesser names of
Nirvisheshanot one of its killing names (unless that raksha seeks
his own undoing), but still a name of power. By this mechanism,
the raksha insinuates unknown laws and forgotten principles into his
enemys being, thereby penetrating the deceptions with which that
enemy shields herself. The raksha spends the motes for this Charm
and makes a Ring- or Staff-shaping attack. If the attack succeeds,
this Charm allows him to ignore one point of the enemys soak per
mote spent. The raksha cannot spend more motes in the activation
of this Charm than his Essence.
Pounding Dream Harmony (Waking)
Keywords: Simple
Born of lies and fictions, the raksha knows when others cloak themselves in the works of her genesis. The raksha constantly hears the
silent pounding at the core of heartless Nirvishesha. Characters who
are hiding their true identity resound in her ears with a vast silence
of their own, beating in simpatico rhythm. She may perfectly see
through any mundane disguises, or any supernatural disguises worn
by characters of lower Essence if she wins a Charm conflict roll-off
against whatever effect they use to hide themselves.
The raksha dares to invoke the name Sayujya, the Great Union of
Spirits, the least of Nirvisheshas killing names. As the whispered
name echoes down the dimensional corridor, its reverberations seek
out the rakshas enemy to sound her doom. This Charm allows the
raksha to make a Ring- or Staff-shaping attack against a single target
at a maximum range of three waypoints. This attack can be parried,
but only with stunts or Charms. It cannot be dodged by any means
other than Recognition of Hidden Possibilities. The echoes of this
sound reverberate in every direction for 10 waypoints, and the rakshas victory is often Pyrrhic. Any unshaped raksha in the area will
perceive the name of Sayujya as a call to battle... or to dinner.

Though the name of Sayuji cannot be heard in Creation, its ominous import is clear when the rakshas speech smothers out all sound
of the world, and her blow fells a hero. The raksha may render a physical attack supplemented by this Charm unblockable or undodgeable,
at her players choice. Targets wearing cold iron against their skin
may ignore the unblockable or undodgeable quality of this attack.

The length of this Charms dramatic action activation time depends
on the size of the object being created. Anything intended to be
used in one or two hands can be created in a mere five ticks, as can
simple furniture such as a chair or small table. Elaborate furniture,
statuary, and other objects up to the approximate size of a person
take about a scene to create (roughly 20 minutes). Objects up to the

This Charm allows the raksha to forge shaping weapons. Mechanically, this Charm functions like Essence-Forging Art except as follows.
First, upon shaping the weapon into existence through a Ring-shaping
action, the raksha must spend an amount of gossamer equal to the
weapons Gossamer Background cost. She must also commit five
motes to the item and let it spend an entire season absorbing the
power of the Wyld. The base difficulty for the Ring-shaping action
is equal to the gossamer cost of the shaping weapon to be created. If
the shaping weapon is to be a fine one, increase the difficulty by two.
If it is to be an exceptional one, increase it by four. If it is to be a
perfect one, increase the difficulty by six. (Apply the advantages of a
fine, exceptional or perfect weapon to the shaping weapons normal
traits.) The shaping weapon is a work of glamour that cannot survive
in Creation absent the use of an Evocation Charm.
Even if a shaping weapon is summoned into Creation, it has generally no utility there, as raksha shaping actions do not affect Creation
or its occupants. There are two exceptions. First, the following shaping weapons can be summoned into Creation through appropriate
Evocation Charms: courtiers cauls, extras, hazards, horrors, monsters and mutant warleaders. Second, the Veil of Glamour Charm

This Charm is the most basic representation of the effortless versatility inherent in Wyld-shaping and allows the raksha to forge a
mundane possession. With it, a raksha can instantly create nearly
anything he can imagine from pure Essence, subject to the following
limitations. First, the object must be a mundane object. It cannot be
an artifact, a shaping weapon or a living thing. It cannot be bigger
than twice the size of a human being, nor can it cover a large enough
area to permit two human-sized creatures to fight without environmental penalties. Once forged, the item is real and permanent within
the Wyld but dissolves instantly in Creation absent the use of an
Evocation Charm.
Creating an object with this Charm requires the rakshas player to
roll (Intelligence + Craft [Glamour]) as a Ring- shaping action. The
difficulty of this roll is determined by the quality of the item to be
created. Once evoked into Creation, a mundane possession is real for
all purposes except when opposed by Glamour Resistance.
Glamour-forged objects have no reality for individuals with a Dodge
MDV of 8+, unless imbued with the Permanence quality. Against
such unaffected beings, armor affords no soak bonus and weapons
inflict no damage. Glamour-forged tools still function in such a beings presence, but they confer no benefits when used directly by that
Creation-born or when that Creation-born acts against the one who
employs a gossamer tool.
1 Serviceable. The item is no better than what could be forged
by a mortal in Creation. At the Storytellers discretion, the raksha might be able to imbue the item with minor supernatural
properties, but at the cost of reducing its normal traits. For example, the raksha might be able to fashion a chakram that was
very good at ricocheting so that the raksha can strike targets
behind cover with a stunt. It would, however, suffer penalties to

Having mastered the shaping of things, the raksha now progresses
to the crafting of places. This Charm permits a raksha to use a
shaping Charm to craft the landscape of an area of the Wyld up to
one waypoint in size into a raksha territory. The rakshas player must
roll (Intelligence + Craft [Glamour]) as a Ring-shaping action against
a waypoint he possesses. The difficulty is determined both by the
size of the territory to be created and the degree to which the shaped
territory satisfies all the rakshas material needs. While in the Wyld,
a raksha territory can theoretically be as big as its creator wishes.
When a Creation-born enters the territory, however, and attempts to
traverse it through Charms, the territory is conceptually reduced to a
maximum diameter of 30 miles, and most territories are much smaller
than that.
A raksha territory created through this Charm is considered a possession of its creator and can be summoned into Creation through
an Evocation Charm. When used to evoke a territory into Creation,
however, all Essence and gossamer costs associated with the Evocation Charm are increased by the difficulty originally needed to shape
the raksha territory.
Evoking a rakshas territory into Creation does not literally rewrite
local reality into the territory as it existed in the Wyld. Rather, the
evocation changes local reality so that it resembles the milieu of the
original territory with only important landmarks of the Wyld literally
translated into reality. Affected regions of Creation thus resemble
strange amalgamations of reality and raksha territory. A farmer in
an affected area might be surprised to discover that everything on

Gossamer-Forging Art
Prerequisite Charms: Essence-Forging Art

This Charm enchants an item that has already been created by
Essence-Forging Art. The raksha must commit five motes to the item
and let it spend an entire season absorbing the power of the Wyld.
The result is a gossamer item. A gossamer weapon adds an additional +1 to two of the following: Accuracy, Damage, Defense or
Rate. Any Strength requirement for a gossamer weapon is reduced by
one. Gossamer armor has no fatigue or mobility penalties. Gossamer
tools are supernally effective, adding a number of bonus dice to each
use equal to the tools gossamer cost. The preceding benefits are in
addition to the benefits from forging a fine, exceptional or perfect
item.
A gossamer possession created through this Charm is always considered a permanent work of glamour, which can freely enter Creation
with its owner without the need for an evocation Charm.
Gossamer objects outside of the Wyld or an uncapped demesne lose
their enchantment at a rate of one bonus die per season if they do
not interact with the Creation-born during that period.

his farm was now colored bright pink, including the clothes on his

1 Serviceable. The raksha territory is a simple landscape or home
a meadow, a swamp or a small manor house. For Creation-born
attempting to traverse it in the Wyld, it has a maximum diameter
of one mile. If summoned into Creation, the evocation affects a
maximum area of just under 10,000 square yards (about two
acres). Only a few simple thematic elements are translated into
Creation, enough to turn the skies green, for example.
2 Fine. The raksha territory is large enough for a palace with spacious grounds or a landscape comparable to a small to mediumsized forest. For Creation-born attempting to traverse it in the
Wyld, it has a maximum diameter of eight miles. If summoned
into Creation, the evocation affects a maximum area of about
three square miles. One or two geographic features or landmarks
can be translated across wholesale. Several significant thematic
elements can be incorporated into the area, enough to give all
animals the power of speech, for example.
3 Exceptional. The raksha territory is an enormous place complete with entire towns populated by the raksha lords servants
and playthings. Less developed territories might include a large
forest or swamp or a small lake or desert. For Creation-born attempting to traverse it in the Wyld, it has a maximum diameter
of 15 miles. If summoned into Creation, the evocation affects a
maximum area of about 20 square miles. The area is dominated
by bizarre landmarks, disturbing geographic features and impossible weather phenomena (although none are harmful to local
Creation-born residents absent other Charms such as Translucent Dream Sheathing Technology). Several highly sophisticated
66
thematic elements can be introduced into an affected part of Creation, such as applying a consistent color scheme to all objects
in the area or surrounding the Creation-born caught within the
territory with all the trappings of some arcane raksha holiday.
4 Perfect. The raksha territory is a small nation with multiple cities
that venerate the raksha lord as a god-king. Less developed
territories might be the equivalent of Creations largest forests,
seas or deserts. For Creation-born attempting to traverse the
territory in the Wyld, it has a maximum diameter of 30 miles.
It is currently impossible to evoke a perfect raksha territory into
Creation, as the Realm Defense Grids automated systems would
swat it down instantly. During the Balorian Crusade, when the
Grid was initially inactive, the Fair Folk evoked perfect territories
throughout Creation to serve as beachheads for the unshaped
raksha who followed.

The existence of a raksha is often the story of a journey, whether
metaphorical or literal. This Charm facilitates Gossamer-Forging Art
by allowing the raksha to fashion a Wyld vessel from the raw stuff
of the Wyld to speed him on his journey through infinity. A Wyld
vessel is essentially a ship of some kind (conceptually analogous to
ships of Creation) that permits its raksha pilot to travel more quickly
CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
in the Wyld, as well as to transport passengers and possessions along
with him.
To craft the Wyld vessel, the rakshas player must roll (Intelligence
+ Craft [Glamour]) as a Ring-shaping action. The raksha must then
spend a number of gossamer equal to the difficulty of the shaping
roll and commit five motes of Essence for the duration of a season.
The difficulty of the shaping roll is based on the characteristics of the
vessel to be fashioned according to the following chart. In addition to
determining size and other accouterments, each point of difficulty improves the rakshas ability to traverse waypoints in the Wyld. Larger
and more impressive ships can so intimidate other raksha that they
confer a bonus to the pilots soak versus shaping attacks.
A Wyld vessel is a raksha possession that can be brought into
Creation through an Evocation Charm. In Creation, a Wyld vessel
is capable of transporting the raksha (plus whatever passengers and
cargo the ship can hold) at a speed of up to (difficulty rating x 10)
miles per hour. (The difficulty modification caused by making a vessel
a permanent work of glamour is not factored into this calculation.)
Raksha must choose at the time of creation whether a vessel travels
over water, along the ground, or through the air. If it travels through
the air, add one to the difficulty cost of making it a permanent work
of glamour. If it is capable of multiple means of locomotion, add one
to the difficulty cost of making it a permanent work of glamour for
each means of locomotion beyond the first.
1 Serviceable. The ship is a one-person transport vessel, sufficient
to hold the pilot and those possessions that can fit on his person.
When performing a Journey action as part of a flurry, the raksha
reduces the multiple action penalty by one.
2 Fine. The ship is a large vessel such as a military trireme or cargo
ship capable of conveying anything from large military forces to
small behemoths. When performing a Journey action as part of

He also adds one to his soak against shaping attacks.
3 Exceptional. The ship is the equivalent of a medium-sized First
Age vessel or a flying whale with a castle on its back. When performing a Journey action as part of a flurry, the raksha reduces
the multiple action penalty by two, and the raksha can cover
two waypoints during a Journey action instead of just one. The
vessel also adds two to the rakshas soak against shaping attacks.
4 Perfect. The ship is a greater behemoth that carries the rakshas
palace on its shoulders or the equivalent of one of the titanic
vessels of the First Age. When performing a Journey action as
part of a flurry, the raksha reduces the multiple action penalty
by three, and the raksha can cover three waypoints during a
Journey action instead of just one. The vessel also adds three to
the rakshas soak against shaping attacks. It can also be used as
a monster for purposes of Sword-shaping but gains a +1 bonus
to two separate traits of the rakshas choice (one of which can
include reducing the monsters Speed by one).

Previous Wyld-shaping Charms permit the raksha to dazzle
Creation-born who enter her domain with works of glamour. This
Charm allows her to directly affect or even harm them. The raksha targets an existing possession (an item, a vessel or a territory)
with this Charm and imbues it with an inherent glamour effect that
inflicts an automatic predetermined shaping effect on those who interact with it. This Charm can be reflexively used in tandem with
Essence-Forging Art, Gossamer-Forging Art, Unreal Ship- wrights
Method or Principle of Worlds without the need for a Combo, and all
motes spent are committed until the item being forged is completed
(usually one season). If the Charm is used to enchant a previously
existing possession, the raksha must commit the motes to the item
for one season, at the end of which the shaping effect becomes a part
of the possessions nature.
In order to enact this Charm, the rakshas player must roll (Intelligence + Craft [Glamour]) as a Ring-shaping action. The difficulty for
the roll is determined by the nature of the shaping effect to be imbued
into the possession. This difficulty also determines the gossamer cost
for activating the Charm. Particular effects are described as being
serviceable, fine, exceptional or perfect, depending on the difficulty
applied. The Essence spent on this Charm must remain committed
for one tale as appropriate while the raksha carefully sculpts the effect
into the desired shape.
Generally, if a raksha applies a shaping effect to a possession and
then carries it into Creation, the shaping effect goes dormant unless
the possession is brought to Creation through an Evocation Charm
or the shaping effect is made permanent. Making a shaping effect
permanent through this Charm adds one to the Charms difficulty.
From a narrative standpoint, the shaping effect establishes a condition associated with the possession such that anyone who interacts
69
with the item must abide by the normal rules for acceding to or ignoring shaping effects (see Graceful Wicked Masques p. 117). For
example, a raksha might enchant a particular bed in her castle with
an exceptional effect (difficulty 3) that states that anyone who laid
down on it would fall asleep until awoken by loves true kiss. If an
intruder did lie down on the bed, he would treat the effect as if it
were a shaping effect successfully used against him by a raksha with
an Essence of 3. In other words, he could either submit to the condition and fall asleep until awoken (thereby gaining a +1 Wyld bonus
on all actions while a part of the narrative) or he could spend one
Willpower to ignore it and thereafter suffer a -3 Wyld penalty on all
future actions for the duration of the tale. If the raksha summons the
item into Creation, the Wyld bonus and Wyld penalty last for one
season (or until the rakshas Assumption ends).
Instead of first creating an item through Essence-Forging Art, Principle of Worlds or Unreal Shipwrights Method and then applying this
Charm to it, the raksha has the option of simply creating the object
wholesale from Translucent Dream Sheathing Technology. Doing so
doubles the Essence and gossamer cost and adds one to the difficulty.
A gossamer object cannot be directly created with this Charm.
1 Serviceable. This is a simple shaping effect. It can be overcome
by a Charm or a stunt, and any opposing shaping effect defeats it
automatically. Otherwise, it inflicts a 1 Wyld penalty on anyone
who defies the condition inherent in the shaping effect. Such a
person must also pay one Willpower if it is the first violation
of local reality during the scene. At this level of difficulty, the
shaping effect must be targeted on single object small enough to
fit into a 10-by-10 room.
2 Fine. The rakshas shaping effect can impose a 2 Wyld penalty
on anyone who defies the condition. Alternatively, he can impose
CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
a 1 penalty on a location small enough fit within a serviceable
raksha territory.
3 Exceptional. The rakshas shaping effect can impose a 3 Wyld
penalty on anyone who defies the condition. Alternatively, he
can impose a 2 penalty on a location small enough to fit into a
serviceable raksha territory or a 1 penalty on fine raksha territory.
4 Perfect. The rakshas shaping effect can impose a 4 Wyld penalty
on anyone who defies the condition. Alternatively, he can impose
a 3 penalty on a serviceable raksha territory, a 2 penalty on a
fine territory or a 1 penalty on an exceptional territory.
+1 Direct Creation. The raksha shapes the possession and the
shaping effect attached to it simultaneously as a single Ringshaping action instead of simply applying the shaping effect to a
pre-existing possession. This technique also increases the Essence
cost by two.
+1 Permanence. The rakshas shaping effect can enter Creation if
the raksha evokes the item or territory to which it is attached.

This Charm represents the pinnacle of the shaping arts: forging
artifacts directly from the Graces of other raksha. These are actually
five separate Charms, each of which must be purchased separately.
A commoner rakshas Grace yields a one-dot artifact, and a noble

Grace can yield a two-dot artifact. In either case, an artifact forged
through this Charm remains a Grace for its original bearer. Its physical manifestation simply changes to that of the newly created artifact,
whose owner now also has dominion over the connected Grace. Any
character at tuned to such an artifact can inflict the appropriate bedlam curse on the bearer of the Grace as a reflexive action. Once any
particular Grace has been shaped through one of these Charms, it
becomes an invalid target for future uses of the same Charm. An
artifact rated at three dots or higher cannot be forged through this
Charm unless the raksha has first succeeded in a quest against an
unshaped.
The raksha who seeks to forge the Grace must choose the nature,
power level and properties of the artifact to be created, and he must
acquire the proper Grace. His player then rolls (Intelligence + Occult)
as an extended Staff- shaping action against a threshold difficulty
determined by the artifacts rating. Each roll represents one tale,
and the raksha must leave the Essence committed to the Charm until

The raksha draws upon the name of Nirvikalpa, which she uses to
sanctify an oath between two other Fair Folk through the birthing of
a child from their union. The Charm permits one raksha to draw the
Essence of two other consenting Fair Folk into herself and manipulate
it to create a child. Each of the two parents (the gender of whom is
irrelevant) must make an oath to one another, while the raksha who
enacts this Charm must make a third oath in the childs name. The
oath-child, as he is called, is bound from birth to the oath sworn in
his name, while his parents are bound to the oaths sworn to each
other while that child still lives. Treaties among the Fair Folk are
often sealed with the birthing of a new raksha through this Charm.
Both of the parents can contribute to the activation of this Charm
with Essence, gossamer and experience. The oath-child possesses his
own Heart, Ring and Sword Graces, while one of his parents takes
ownership of his Cup Grace and the other one his Staff Grace.
This Charms participants need not necessarily be raksha. If one of
the parents is raksha, the child is raksha. If one is noble, the child is
automatically noble. If neither parent is raksha, then both parents are
bound by the oaths sworn as though they were Fair Folk. The child
is whatever would normally be produced by such a union (human in
the case of two mortals, demon-blooded if the oath is sworn between
a human and a demon, and so on), and is born oathbound. Children
born of impossible parentage, such as between a human and a Dragon
King, may be created, and will come into existence as a child of the
same type as one parent or the other, at the discretion of the raksha
using this Charm; the child is likely to possess an interesting mutation
or two to reflect their bizarre heritage. Non-raksha children created
through this Charm are born with Cup, Ring, Staff and Sword Graces.

By these means are many of the raksha nobility summoned into

into existence, her Heart Grace coming instantly and inevitably into
her raksha parents hand.
In order to give birth to a new raksha, the characters player rolls

birthing a commoner raksha is 5. For heroic commoners, the difficulty
is 7, and for nobles, it is 9. This roll is not an extended one. If
the shaping action succeeds, the raksha creates the desired Fair Folk,
which has all five Graces (an appropriate number of which are feeding
Graces). The raksha who gave birth possesses and owns all of his

possibly insane child or even a monster, one who owns her own Graces

The gates of Nirvikalpa open wide, and the raksha pours gossamer
into Creation to demonstrate the infinite possibility of the Wyld.
Or at least she appears to do so as far as weak-willed mortals can
tell. This Charm allows the raksha to perform quick-and-dirty
shaping effects in Creation, fashioning Essence and gossamer into
weak simulacra of the sorts of items she could fashion perfectly in the
Wyld.
Mechanically, this Charm superficially duplicates the effects of several Wyld-Based Crafting Charms. When creating living creatures,
this Charm uses the rules for Shape-Forged Servant. When forging
gossamer objects, it uses the rules for Gossamer-Forging Art. When
enchanting territories or objects, it uses the rules for Translucent
Dream Sheathing Technology. When fashioning transport vehicles, it
uses Unreal Shipwrights Method.
The Essence requirement for this Charm is always five motes, and
this Essence is committed for the duration of the Charm. The gossamer requirement is calculated according to the Charm being mimicked but is always at least one gossamer. Despite their similarities,
Veil of Glamour is generally inferior to each of the aforementioned
Charms and differs from them in several important ways, some good
80
and some bad.
Most notably, the creation of a work of glamour through this Charm
is instant, but the item or being that is forged automatically vanishes
at the end of the Charms duration. This duration is determined by
what seed, if any, is used as a basis for the glamour. For example,
the seed of a minion might be an insect or a simple animal, while the
seed of a Wyld vessel might be a pumpkin or a leaky old boat.
In general, each item forged with this Charm must have as its seed
a mundane item of Creation, in which case the Charm lasts for one

roll. This roll is considered a Ring- or Staff-shaping roll for purposes
of Charms that can improve shaping rolls, but with a good stunt, a
raksha might be able to treat the roll as a Cup- or Sword-shaping
action instead. The raksha can add the Accuracy of any appropriate,
Storyteller-sanctioned shaping weapon to the roll.
If the raksha uses a particularly appropriate seed, as determined
by the Storyteller, the glamour lasts for one day per success. On the
other hand, if the raksha totally forgoes the use of a seed and crafts
the item from nothingness, the result lasts for one action per success.

Shaping Stances
Source: [1, p. 218][3, p. 100]

A shaping stance is the heart of a cascade of related shaping Charms
developed by the raksha to facilitate their narrative magic. From
the perspective of the Fair Folk, each stance germinates a story that
the raksha tells through his life and actions. As long as the raksha
maintains the characteristics and tropes of the persona he adopts, he
gains preternatural skill at manipulating the Wyld in accordance with
the personas idiom. Sidereal savants who have studied the shaping
stances theorize that they, in many ways, give rise to the shaping
combat equivalent of martial arts styles. Each such style serves to
conceptualize a particular approach to shaping combat, and each also
resembles martial arts styles from a conceptual framework.
The Charms associated with a stance start out small before the
adherent is sufficiently enlightened in the ways of the Wyld to master
CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
a persistent stance after which the entire style is named (in the same
way that each martial arts style is named after its Form-type Charm).
Even the wisest savants among the Sidereals and Lunars have no
idea how many stances exist or whether any are more powerful and
frightening than those commonly known. Some of the more paranoid
Sidereals wonder if the Fair Folk have a stance-based equivalent to
Sidereal Martial Arts.
Sidereal Exalted who meet the appropriate Grace prerequisites may
learn the Charms of shaping stances for eight experience points each,
or 10 if Martial Arts is not a Caste or Favored Ability. Stance-type
Charms which also have the Form-type Keyword are considered Martial Arts Form-type Charms for the purpose of effects which makes
such distinctions.

Self-preservation is no defense against the hunger of the GodMonster, but the raksha can choose to let the God-Monster devour
only a portion of her that she wishes to lose. This Charm allows the
raksha to cut a Charm or a trait out of her own existence without
otherwise damaging her form or the array of Charms that support
it. Each time this Charm is activated, the raksha permanently loses
either one dot of a chosen trait or one specific Charm. If a Charm
consumed by Spirit-Flaying Meditation was one that also caused the
raksha to gain one or more permanent mutations, those mutations
are removed as well, as are any mutation points the raksha carried as
part of that Charms cost. The raksha receives no other benefit for
using this Charm, which is the only means by which a raksha can rid
herself of permanent mutations. The raksha must be in the Wyld to
invoke this Charm.

Assuming the stance of the God-Monster, the raksha allows it to
devour him, even as he devours it. From their mad dance of mutual
consumption, a new and terrifying shape emerges. The shape is called
the God-Monster Body, and this Charm brings it forth. When a
raksha purchases this Charm, he receives three benefits, which his
player must choose immediately from the list below. A shaped raksha
can purchase this Charm only once. An unshaped raksha can do so
a number of times equal to half its Essence, with each subsequent
iteration of the Charm granting two benefits.
This Charm may be used in Creation if the raksha takes the Calling
Upon the Dragons Ire feature, in which case it also gains the Formtype keyword and may be activated with a duration of One story.
God-Monster Body Benefits Source: [1, p. 220][3, p. 101]
The following are some of the most common benefits available to
raksha who adopt the God-Monster Body. At the Storytellers discretion, the player may be permitted to come up with other acceptable benefits, provided they fit in with the general theme of the AllConsuming God-Monster Stance.
Advaita Harmony The God-Monster transcends a conventional
understanding of Virtue, simultaneously becoming both compassionate and cruel, obsessive and blas, courageous and cowardly.
The raksha divides three extra dots among her Virtues while in
95
her God-Monster Body (permanently assigned when this benefit
is selected). Also, she gains the ability to violate her own Virtues
without spending Willpower.
Calling Upon the Dragons Ire The raksha gains the ability to
activate All-Consuming God-Monster Stance in Creation, and to
leave the Wyld without the Charm automatically terminating
itself.
Chain-Defying Art The raksha reflexively heals one level of shaping damage on every six ticks in shaping combat. In Creation,
his healing rate is doubled.
Fearsome Radiance Characters with Valor less than the GodMonsters Essence suffer a -2 internal penalty when attacking
him with shaping or normal actions, as well as a -1 penalty to
both shaping and normal DV. This benefit is an unnatural Emotion effect that may be overcome for one scene by spending a
point of Willpower.
Graces of the Wyld The raksha is immune to bedlam while in
God-Monster form.
Heart-Stopping Numinous Power The raksha increases her effective Essence by two for all purposes while in God-Monster
form. The enhanced Essence rating only applies to calculations
and effects derived from her raksha Charms.
Lumbering Feet of God The God-Monsters form defies a conventional understanding of spatial relationships. In the Wyld, he
can take a Journey action across three waypoints per scene. In
Creation, the rakshas normal Move and Dash rates are tripled.

Choose one shaping damage track when buying this Charm. The
God-Monster reflexively heals all shaping damage of that type

rate is multiplied by four. This replaces the benefit of ChainDefying Art.
World-Devourers Shadow Prerequisite:
Fearsome Radiance.
The player of any character whose Essence is less than that of the
God-Monster must succeed on a difficulty 2 Valor roll before her
character may make either a shaping attack or a physical attack
against him. Even if the roll succeeds, the attacker still suffers
the effects of Fearsome Radiance. This benefit is an unnatural
Emotion and Compulsion effect that may be overcome for one
scene by spending a point of Willpower, or by succeed- ing on

not overcome Fearsome Radiance.

Having had his sport and finished his business, the Laughing Monster fades away, leaving only the sound of his mocking laughter and
the enraged bellows of his beaten foes. While this Charm is active,
the raksha adds his Essence to his Staff DV.

Having finished his tale, the raksha flashes a devilish smile and leaps
into the air, before the astonished eyes of his foes. This Charm may
only be activated inside of a building; it deposits the raksha outside
of the structure, just beyond the closest exit. Note that this Charm
will never kill or injure the raksha for using itif the nearest exit
is an open window on the seventh floor of a tower, she will appear
outside of the front door on the bottom floor. If she is inside of a
castle surrounded by a moat full of sharpened stakes and all of the
drawbridges are up, she will appear just on the other side of the moat.

Spirit-Twisting Obsession Style
Source: [1, p. 224][3, p. 100]

The Prince of Chaos is a terrifying figure to the Fair Folk, for it
is his way to transform desire into obsession, to turn a rakshas capacity for positive emotion into a soul-deadening fountain of despair.
Associated with Cup-shaping combat, the Spirit-Twisting Obsession
Style teaches Entertainers to kill with kindness and to burn with a
kiss. A raksha who plays the part of the Prince of Chaos must adopt
the mien of a cruel and sadistic villain.

Elusive Object of Desire (Dreaming)
Keywords: Reflexive
The first teaching of the Prince of Chaos is to realize that it is
better to want than to have, better to desire than to hold, better
to love unrequited than to experience the pain of rejection or the
banality of a passion that has died. This Charm adds a number of

escape, dodge or parry a Cup-shaping entanglement.
Elusive Object of Desire (Waking)

Desire is the strongest forbidden fruit, and Entertainers therefore
the most elusive of the Fair Folk. This Charm adds the rakshas Cup
in automatic successes to all rolls to escape confinement of any sort,
from clinches to imprisonment.

The second teaching of the Prince of Chaos is to understand that
Virtue is an illusion, calculated to conceal from its possessor his own
flaws and frailties. This Charm allows the raksha to metaphorically
praise one of the Virtues of her opponent and, by doing so, bring him
low. The raksha activates this Charm after her target declares either
a shaping or normal action but before his player rolls. The rakshas
player rolls (Manipulation + Performance) in Creation or any Cupshaping attack in the Wyld. The difficulty is equal to the targets
Essence. If the roll succeeds, the Charm forces the target to spend a
point of Willpower (if he has any left) and channel the praised Virtue
on that action, even if doing so is wildly inappropriate to the declared
action. This Charm will not function if the target has exhausted his
temporary Willpower or has no available channels left for that Virtue
103
during the current story. This Charm may affect an Essence-user no
more than once per scene.
Decaying Principles
Prerequisite Charms: Spirit-Twisting Obsession Stance
Source: [1, pp. 225226][3, p. 104]
Decaying Principles (Dreaming)
Duration: Combo-OK, Echo Shaping
As the rakshas attunement to the Prince of Chaos grows ever
stronger, her corruption grows into a torrent of inescapable despair.
This Charm supplements a Cup-shaping attack, rendering the targets Dodge Shaping DV inapplicable unless the target channels his
Temperance to improve the Shaping DV score. The attack can be
parried normally.
Decaying Principles (Waking)
The raksha threads her words with the Essence of Dharma, corroding the virtues of those to whom she speaks. The target of a social
attack supplemented by this Charm treats all his Virtues as 1 for
the purpose of calculating his MDV, and needs not roll dice or spend
Willpower to resist following a suggestion that would normally violate
a Virtue he has rated at 3+.

Encouraging Futile Struggle (Dreaming)
Cost: 5m, 1wp; Mins: Cup 4, Essence 2; Type: Supplemental
As the target struggles ever harder against the chains that the
Prince of Chaos wraps around his soul, they only grow tighter. The
raksha activates this Charm in conjunction with a Cup-shaping attack. If the attack is successful, its damage becomes piercing. If the
attack was already piercing, it completely bypasses the targets soak.
Encouraging Futile Struggle (Waking)

Duration: Permanent Echo
Once a character has fallen into the rakshas tangled web, they
may never truly be free again. The rakshas social attacks ignore
two points of the MDVs of any target she has ever fed from using a
Feeding Charm that permanently removes traits, such as Ravishing
the Created Form or Soul-Consuming Hunger.

Spirit-Twisting Obsession Stance (Dreaming)
Keywords: Simple
Duration: Echo, Stance-type
The raksha assumes the mantle of the Prince of Chaos, a living
symbol of the corruption of ones own sense of self. The raksha then
shares the wisdom of his insights with his enemies. Upon activating
this Charm, the raksha names a single opponent, who must be at
least potentially a participant in the current shaping battle. For the
104
Charms duration, that opponent suffers an internal penalty equal
to the rakshas permanent Essence from all shaping dice pools and
suffers a penalty equal to half that to all Shaping DV scores. This
Charm affects only raksha in the Wyld. It has no utility in Creation
or against Creation-born in the Wyld.
Spirit-Twisting Obsession Stance (Waking)
Keywords: Simple
Duration: Echo, Form-type, Stance-type, Shaping
The raksha becomes a living symbol of the corruption of self. She
names a single opponent, who must be within (Cup x 20) yards,
and inflicts an internal penalty equal to her Essence on all attacks
that opponent directs at her for the duration of the Charm, and
also increases to two the Willpower cost to channel Virtues for any
purpose. Wearing cold iron against the skin nullifies the effects of this
Charm.
Subtle Breath of Ruin

Subtle Breath of Ruin (Dreaming)
The Prince moves closer, bringing doom with him. The rakshas
player rolls (Manipulation + Larceny) as a Cup-shaping attack. If
the attack roll is successful, ignore the damage roll. Instead, this
Charm increases the difficulty of all of the targets shaping actions by
an amount equal to the rakshas Essence.
Subtle Breath of Ruin (Waking)
CHAPTER 2. CHARMS
Feinting threats to the crude matter of her targets body, the raksha cleverly attacks those things which make the targets life worth
living. This Charm may supplement a physical attack. If the attack
successfully strikes the target, it does no damage, instead inflicting
all rolled damage to another character within (Cup x 10) yards for
whom the target has a positive Intimacy. This Charm may not be
used to conduct damage from mortals onto Essence-users, or onto
characters of higher-Essence than the Charms target, nor will it conduct through or into characters with cold iron touching their skin, or
who are using appropriate Shaping defenses.

Insidious Distraction Technique (Dreaming)
Keywords: Simple
As hope fades, the target is no longer capable of defending successfully, so great is her dread of the Prince of Chaos. The rakshas
player rolls (Manipulation + Larceny) as a Cup-shaping attack. If
the attack is successful, ignore the damage roll. Instead, for the duration of the scene, the target cannot put more actions into a single
flurry than his Temperance, and both his Parry and Dodge Shaping
DV scores are reduced to his Temperance.
Insidious Distraction Technique (Waking)
105
Duration: Combo-OK, Echo, Poison
The raksha distills her practices and presence into a potent spiritual poison, and delivers it with a sharp rebuke or stinging blow.
This Charm may supplement any Presence-based social attack or any
physical attack. If successful, the target is rendered incapable of making flurries larger than his Temperance for the rest of the scene. This
Poison effect is nullified if the target touches cold iron.

The Prince of Chaos now begins to turn his face toward the enemy,
transforming the raksha into an irresistible soul-deadening force. For
every two motes spent in activating this Charm, the raksha increases
the rate of his chosen shaping weapon (which can include entanglement weapons such as a harness of razored dreams) by one.

Just as things seem darkest, the target senses hope, as the Prince of

This Charm allows the raksha to add her Performance in dice to her

Art of Corrosion. The raksha cannot use this Charm to create actions
from nothing.
Brilliant Glinting Lure (Waking)

Magnanimous in victory, the Prince of Chaos sings the praises of
his fallen foe as she looks up at him silently from the grave. This
Charm allows the raksha to make a Cup-shaping attack. After soak
is applied, each remaining damage die is automatically converted into
a success.
Eulogy for Greatness Lost (Waking)
Keywords: Permanent
Duration: Echo
The raksha stands triumphant over a ruined world, secure in the
knowledge that she has desecrated everything she has touched. She
treats any character harboring a positive Intimacy toward her as a
character she has previously fed on using a Feeding Charm that permanently removes traits, such as Ravishing the Created Form or SoulConsuming Hunger.

World-Devouring Warlord Style
Source: [1, p. 226][3, p. 100]

The World-Devouring Warlord is an irresistible conquering force
whose destiny is to rule all that she surveys. Associated with Swordshaping combat, the World-Devouring Warlord teaches Warriors to
comport themselves as generals and rulers instead of mere combatants. It is the duty of the Warlords army or champion to fight on
her behalf, and it is unfitting for a true Warlord to bloody herself
in a meaningless frontline skirmish when there is a conquest to direct. A raksha who plays the part of the World-Devouring Warlord
must adopt the posture of one who is destined to rule over all, a posture that snide inferiors might call megalomania, though never to the
Warlords face if they are wise.

Aegis of a Martial Destiny (Dreaming)
The start of any tale of war begins with the initiation of hostilities,
and every Warlords story must begin with his motivation for battle.
This Charm allows the raksha to defend against aggressive shaping
attacks by defining the circumstances under which conflict can begin.
By spending one mote, the raksha adds a bonus equal to half his
Sword (rounded up) to his applicable Shaping DV.
Aegis of a Martial Destiny (Waking)
Keywords: Reflexive
The World-Devouring Warlord must establish a proper crusade for
himself. The raksha selects an existing Intimacy toward some great
goal, dream, or accomplishment upon activating this Charm. She
adds one success to all attempts to realize her dream or achieve her
goal, but loses one extra mote per day when in Creation so long as
the Charm remains in effect.

107
Antagonist-Naming Technique (Dreaming)
The Warlord must have his enemythey cannot exist without one
another. This Charm permits the raksha to define both himself and
a particular antagonist (who must exist and must currently hold an
antagonistic posture toward him) as the principal characters in the
rakshas narrative. While the Charm continues to function, it automatically negates all shaping effects that would otherwise remove
either the raksha or his named antagonist as active characters in the
story. No one can shape the raksha into quiescence, banishment or
death without also in some manner restoring him to life and/or activity.
Antagonist-Naming Technique (Waking)
Duration: Combo-OK, Echo, Emotion
he World-Devouring Warlord cannot go to war without a proper
nemesis, and so it is imperative that he begin his march by producing
a suitable foe. This Charm may supplement any social or physical
attack. If successful, the attack causes the target to immediately gain
in Intimacy of enmity toward the raksha. This unnatural Emotion
effect may be resisted for two points of Willpower.

summon monsters, horrors, war machines and other grotesqueries of
the Wyld to bolster her forces. Each use of this Charm creates the
illusion of another great monster or a handful of smaller beasts. In the
Wyld, each application of this Charm increases the Damage rating of

Charm can be activated up to a number of times equal to the rakshas
Sword, and subsequent invocations are cumulative.

character or leader. It also inflicts a -1 external penalty on Morale
rolls for opposing forces to resist rout or hesitation as a Shaping effect.
A mass combat unit may only benefit from one use of this Charm;
