Prerequisites: Sorcerous Enlightenment of (Yozi), Verdant Emptiness Endowment
Oh, how Ceceleyne laughs at the foolish sorcerers of Creation! They ape and mimic the Primordials with their stammered incantations and clumsy mudras, ignorant of the true potential of sorcery. But in her mercy, she has endowed her Malefactors with the authority to enlighten the sorcerers of Creation, giving them a gift of true power. This Charm enhances Verdant Emptiness Endowment, allowing the Infernal to bestow knowledge of any Sorcerous Enlightenment of (Yozi) Charm that they possess on any character capable of using sorcery–even if that character does not meet its prerequisites, or is not an Infernal Exalt. While the Charm does not allow the character to access higher circles of sorcery, it does allow them to cast spells with that Yozi’s initiation–and in fact, they lose the ability to cast spells without it. If an Infernal uses Forbidden Arcana Tutelage multiple times on one character to grant them multiple Sorcerous Enlightenment of (Yozi) Charms, the sorcerer may pick which initiation they apply to their spells, but they must choose one. There is no XP debt for learning the Charm–it is a free gift on the behalf of Ceceleyne. However, it comes with consequences. The Infernal who used this Charm may reflexively counter or dispel any spell cast by the sorcerer that they witness by spending a point of willpower. The sorcerer still loses the motes and willpower for casting the spell.
At Essence 4, the Infernal can use this Charm to grant spells to characters they have already blessed with a Sorcerous Initiation of (Yozi). They must know the spell they wish to grant, and the sorcerer must be capable of casting spells of that circle. The sorcerer incurs XP debt as normal for learning the spell. Infernals who know the Slave-Spawn Summons, Fiend-Vassal Conscription, or All-Commanding Oversoul Beckoning spells cannot teach them to non-Infernals, but can grant their non-Infernal versions: Demon of the First Circle, Demon of the Second Circle, or Demon of the Third Circle.

Ceceleyne’s law holds that the mighty must triumph over the weak–and she decides who is mighty. With this Charm, an Infernal can tempt sorcerers with offers of power, even allow mortals the secrets of sorcery. This Charm enhances Verdant Emptiness Endowment, allowing the Infernal to use it to grant a character access to any number of circles of sorcery, up to one higher than beings of his type could normally access. A Dragonblooded could be granted the ability to cast Celestial Circle spells, or an un-enlightened mortal could be granted Terrestrial Circle Sorcery. The Infernal cannot grant access to Circles of Sorcery that he cannot cast spells of. Mortals granted sorcerous power by this Charm are also enlightened, gaining a mote pool of 15 motes. This Charm cannot initially be used to grant access to Solar Circle Sorcery, but at Essence 6, this limitation is overcome. A character blessed by this Charm must pay 20 XP for each Circle of Sorcery they are granted access to, incurring XP debt if necessary. However, the Infernal may reflexively strip the sorcerer of their ability to cast spells from the granted Circles for as long as he wishes by spending a point of Willpower.
