The Dragonblooded are not the masters of Martial Arts that are the Chosen of the Maidens, but even the members of the Five-Score Fellowship know the Essence of the Terrestrial Exalted can rise above its place.

The Charm allows a Dragon-Blooded martial artist to focus her Essence so that she can activate any known Celestial-level Form-type Charms without her player having to succeed at a Dexterity + Martial Arts roll. This Charm also reduces the Essence cost to activate all Martial Arts Form-type Charms by 2 motes (minimum of 1).

The origins of this Charm are disputed and wrapped in mystery. The monks of the Immaculate Order consider it to have been taught by the Immaculate Dragons, while the Sidereal Exalted hold that one amongst their number devised the technique during experiments at perfecting Terrestrial Essence for mastery of Celestial Martial Arts.
