By mimicking the powers of their foes the Slayer can lay them low. This charm may be applied when a magically-enhanced attack (i.e. one that meets the conditions of Mage-Slayer Form) is made against the target, assuming the charm-use has not been negated by that Charm. This charm adds the character’s (Martial Arts) rating to her DV calculations against the attack targeting her. Should she successfully defend, her hands or weapons begin to glow cold blue. On her next action the Slayer gains the higher of her accuracy, damage, defense and rate OR the accuracy, damage defense and rate of the attack made against her. (so if her weapon has +3 accuracy but the charm-enhanced attack had +6, she would have +6 accuracy for the next action). Charm effects that do not directly enhance accuracy, damage, defense or rate are not mimicked. Bonuses granted by the Inversion Strike above the normal traits of the martial artist’s attack count as dice gained from charms, but the bonuses apply to all attacks in a flurry at no further cost.
