Death is inevitable. That which lives dies, that which exists ends. This is something that is instinctively known by all creatures. They might struggle to prolong their existence, to seek immortality futilely, to eke out another day, another moment. They might even succeed to a degree, but such a focus on the end means that they are drawn all the much sooner to it.
This charm allows the abyssal to infect that same horrifying attraction that death has, it imprints an impression of his essence into their souls, that they might draw themselves closer to him even as they discard what was once precious to them.
This charm allows an abyssal to actively convert a positive intimacy, of those he interacts with over a scene, into a negative intimacy. Those affected thus may spend 3 willpower during that scene to resist the Unnatural Mental Influence tainting of their intimacies.
At essence 3+, the abyssal's supernatural attraction grows stronger, and he may inflict on his victim a new positive intimacy for the abyssal or a social group that he designates while converting his victim's positive intimacy into a negative intimacy.
The positive intimacy goes away, if during the next season, the victim does not interact with the abyssal in a positive manner, or if the victim spends 3 willpower all at once to resist the Unnatural Mental Influence of this charm. After that season, the intimacy is treated as a normal intimacy and may be kept or removed as normal.
After the end of the scene, the negative intimacy is treated as a normal intimacy and may be kept or removed as normal.
Unless reason is given, most targets of this charm tend to keep their transformed intimacies.
