Cost: 1w to activate, 1m per tick
Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 4
Type: Extra Action
Duration: One Scene
Keywords: Obvious
Prerequisites: Untouchable Strike Technique, Unassailable Rapidity of Defence
Follow-ups: Dragon Transcendent Speed Form
As the student of the Dragon Transcendent Speed Style trains themselves further in the ability to control the flow of time’s river, they unify the principles of their basic abilities, getting ever closer to sustaining supernatural speed. With this Charm, the martial artist learns to sustain their awareness of the pace of events, and may trigger bursts of speed every few moments.
After spending one willpower to “prepare” the Charm’s power (this counts as the Charm usage), the user may thereafter reflexively spend motes to reduce the number of ticks to her next action. Each mote spent “consumes” 1 tick. Consuming ticks does not count as an action’s Charm usage and thus may be used freely with other Charms during its duration. The character may not consume her last tick, i.e. the user cannot use this Charm to perform multiple actions on the same tick. The user may not consume more ticks before her next action than her permanent Essence rating.
Unlike the 1st Ed version, this Charm is compatible with other extra action Charms so long as it is already prepared.
Example: Talena, an Essence 6 Solar, is sparring with her sister, Marena, who has asked her to display her powers. Talena lashes out with a kick, but fails to hurt Marena, and would normally wait 5 ticks before her next action. However, she has Inequitable Action Advantage in effect and, therefore, chooses to activate it and consume as many ticks as she can. She pays 4 motes to consume 4 ticks, and thus may act again on the tick directly after. She may not consume any more ticks than this, even though her Essence would allow her to otherwise, because that would allow her to act on the same tick as her previous action.
