Saturn marks the endings, but Pluto marked the length. Her Chosen can use this charm to take some of that power. The character touches the target (a grapple check may be necessary) and rolls her (Strength+Larceny+Essence). Her target rolls (Stamina+Integrity). Should the target gain more successes than the Sidereal, nothing happens. Should the Sidereal win the contested roll, subtract any successes her target rolled from the successes the Sidereal rolled, and multiply the result by the Sidereal’s Essence rating. This is the number of years that are subtracted from the target’s natural life span. Note that this does not age the target, it simply means she is fated to live a shorter life. Nor can this charm kill the target outright, for such is the province of Saturn. The target always has at least one year of natural life left. This charm has no effect against creatures outside Fate.
The Hours keyword means only the Chosen of Hours, should any exist, may learn this charm without a teacher. Even other characters who have larceny as an auspicious or favoured ability may not do so. Also, there is a 1-mote surcharge on the use of any charm with the Hours keyword by anyone who is not a Chosen of Pluto. Should Pluto be fully healed, this keyword will no longer exist.
