By studying the nature of essence, the martial artist learns to dampen its spark. This knowledge makes him a drain to his foes. Every time an unarmed attack made by the martial artist inflicts levels of post-soak damage, the victim of the attack loses two motes of essence, suffering the chill of the Void in their soul. Essence is lost from the peripheral pool first, then the personal, and essence lost to Touch of Frost does not count toward essence expenditure for the purposes of determining anima. Against beings with no mote pool or no motes left in their pool when the equivalent of 3 motes of essence would have been burned the victim loses a Willpower point instead as a Shaping effect. This mote-drain stacks with charm or artifact-based mote draining powers.
