Essential Arsenal Integration
Cost: –
Mins: Essence 3
Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Tool-Transcending Constructs

She Who Lives In Her Name subsumes all lesser patterns into her own, integrating any tool that might serve her goals into her power. This Charm permanently enhances Mind-Hand Manipulation. As long as the Infernal has it invoked, they may channel their telekinetic energies through the geomantic circuitry of any Essence-powered ranged or artillery weapon, such as essence cannons or implosion bows. When attacking with such weapons, they may roll (Willpower + Occult) instead of (Dexterity + Archery). In addition, if the weapon requires its wielder to spend motes when firing it, the cost for such is reduced by half the Infernal’s Essence.

A second purchase of this Charm at Essence 4 further enhances the Infernal’s proficiency with essence weaponry. They may apply any Charm that enhances attacks made with Mind-Hand Manipulation, such as Unseen Force Application or Will-Crushing Force, to any attack they make with essence weaponry as long as they have Mind-Hand Manipulation invoked. However, Charms whose effects would not be applicable for such an attack, such as the clinch-enhancing function of Principle-Invoking Onslaught, do not enhance such attacks.

Assertion of Anentropic Physics
Cost: 5m
Mins: Essence 3
Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-Basic, Shaping, Sorcerous
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: Tool-Transcending Constructs

When She Who Lives In Her Name unleashed her wrath at the end of the Primordial War, she destroyed the concepts of unchanging perfection and eternal immutability that had been among her favorite experiments, forcing all Creation to obey the laws of entropy. But what She has undone, she can still renew.

This Charm enables the Infernal to reverse entropy. By touching a damaged or destroy item or artifact and committing 5 motes, the Infernal may use it as if it were whole and undamaged for one scene. As the Infernal invokes this Charm, he must provide a justification for why it works–citing a fictitious principle of motonic science, reversing the polarity of a motonic flow, or simply hitting the artifact with a wrench are all valid explanations. This Charm does not protect the item from any further damage. When this Charm ends, the item returns to its original state, including any subsequent damage it may have taken.

A second purchase at Essence 4 allows the Infernal to confer total immutability on what she shapes with this Charm. The item cannot be damaged by any effect, save for attacks made by characters with an Essence that exceeds the Infernal’s. The item also becomes immune to all Shaping effects and Wyld chaos. It still returns to its original state when the Charm ends.

World-Ordering Scientific Authority
Cost: – (1m per hearthstone level)
Mins: Essence 4
Type: Permanent
Keywords: Shaping
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Assertion of Anentropic Physics

She Who Lives In Her Name did not create essence, but she did formulate the rules of motonic physics and geomancy, setting out the principles upon which all science and thaumaturgy are laid. If she wishes to change her mind on one principle or another, who is to challenge her? The Green Sun Prince may invoke the Assertion of Anentropic Physics Charm to power an artifact that normally requires a hearthstone, so long as the level of hearthstone required does not exceed half the Infernal’s Willpower. If the artifact requires multiple hearthstones, the Infernal must invoke this Charm once for each stone required. The artifact functions as if it had a hearthstone for as long as Assertion of Anentropic Physics remains invoked, after which the actual rules of motonic science are reasserted.

Temporal Calibration Procedures
Cost: –
Mins: Essence 5
Type: Permanent
Keywords: Shaping
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Assertion of Anentropic Physics (x2)

She Who Lives In Her Name authored the laws of time and temporality, setting the unalterable limits of time’s flow–and yet she also devised the deep physics, by which such adamant boundaries can be transgressed. With an unchallenged knowledge of quantum motonics and temporal mechanics, an Infernal can exploit essence circuitry in ways that defy such limits of science. The Green Sun Prince may attune to any artifact she enhances with the Assertion of Anentropic Physics Charm as a reflexive action. Doing so also confers ownership of the artifact upon her instantaneously. The attunement is broken when Assertion of Anentropic Physics, and ownership is lost as well.

Dependent Patterns Reliance
Cost: –
Mins: Essence 3
Type: Permanent
Keyword: Obvious, Stackable
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Pattern-Reassertion Touch, Wholeness Rightly Assumed

She Who Lives In Her Name is not called the Principle of Hierarchy without cause. Her very existence is rooted in the interrelationship of beings, and such connections sustain the patterns of her Essence.

Whenever the Infernal uses their Pattern-Reassertion Touch Charm to heal another, they recover motes–1 mote for each Shaping, Crippling, Poisoning, or Sickness effect removed, 2 motes for each level of bashing damage healed, and 3 motes for each level of lethal damage healed. They gain these motes on their next action after using the Charm, in a surge of viridescent essence that is Obvious.

In addition, the Infernal gains an additional Peripheral Essence pool capable of holding 10 motes. However, it can only be refilled when the Infernal recovers motes with this Charm. The Infernal may purchase this Charm up to a total of (Medicine) times. Each subsequent purchase increases the size of the pool by 10 motes.

Imperfect Existence Correction
Cost: 1m+
Mins: Essence 4
Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Shaping
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Crystal-Fire Barrier Technique, Dependent Patterns Reliance

If the irrational and illogical concepts which form the capacity for understanding humor were incorporated into She Who Lives In Her Name’s patterns of understanding, then she would be helpless with laughter, undone by her understanding of how truly flawed and suboptimal are the designs of the beings who subdued her and her kin. But She has no such humor. Instead, she contents herself with revising such imperfect existence when her needs require it. To invoke this Charm, the Infernal must touch another character and spend up to (Essence) motes, which must come from the pool of Peripheral Essence granted by Dependent Patterns Reliance. The character they touch is transformed, their organic flesh interlaced with a crystalline matrix. They gain 3B/3L soak for every mote spent, and half that much aggravated soak. This soak does not stacks with and does not count as armor. In addition, they gain Hardness 10B/10L.

I like them, and you have a good charm for a sentinel weapon, one might call it a 'sentry gun', but I think you're missing something. Need a dispenser here.

Couldn't think of an interesting way to do it. You could just have them make a crystal they can use as a proxy for Pattern-Reassertion Touch, but that's entirely too boring to make.
