Prerequisite Charms: Instinct Twisting Parasite Infliction

Though instincts act on the most fundamental of levels, they can have impacts both profound and subtle. What are men, after all, but monkeys with better instincts? What places instinct above the mind?

Nothing, at heart, and the Lunar masters that knowledge and uses it for their own gain. This charm acts as an upgrade to Instinct Twisting Parasite Infliction. At the cost of additional essence, the Lunar may perform much more subtle manipulation of the target's instincts. The stimuli may now draw on the full range of emotional responses, from "disgusted hatred" to "reluctant admiration". Similarly, the reactions may become more abstract, although not specific: "seek out parental guidance" is appropriate, but "write a letter to your mother" is still out, and a figure perceived as parental serves just as well as biological parents for fulfilling the instinct. If either stimulus or response is simple enough to be compatible with Instinct Twisting Parasite Infliction, the surcharge is only five motes. If both are too complex, it is ten.
