The loss of a Lunar in the line of their stewardship is a blow to the Pact, but even in this tragedy the seeds of hope can be found. This charm may only be used on the corpse of a tattooed Lunar, and has two effects.
Firstly, it calls the moonsilver of the fallen Steward’s tattoos which flow away from the body like mercury, coalescing in an orb of moonsilver. This moonsilver is dedicated towards protection, and may only be used in the tattooing of another Lunar, and no other purpose. (Using this moonsilver on the next incarnation of the fallen Lunar has bonus effects: the Lunar gains the memories of the previous incarnation in full, and has the training time reduced to Instant on all the previous incarnation’s favoured attributes, favoured abilities and essence until they match the ratings of the previous incarnation.)
Secondly, this charm cleanses the body. The body is no longer a valid target for necromantic effects, the lower soul is sealed within the body and may not become a hungry ghost (or is destroyed if it already is). The charm also breaks all fetters and intimacies of the higher soul, forcing it to reincarnate. A ghost may make a contested (Stamina+Integrity+Essence) roll at a difficulty of the Lunar’s Essence rating to resist this effect, if it so desires. This charm trumps necromantic effects of the Iron Circle, though it does not counter effects of the Labyrinth Circle or higher.
