…whose colors so angered a rival…
Not content to merely provoke a subjective emotional reaction to his work, the artist renders his subject with such emotive power that reality itself takes notice and instantly twists the subject’s feelings to conform to the artist’s intent.
The artist makes a social attack on a single imaged target within line of sight. This attack may take place within standard combat time, and is an unnatural social attack made using Manipulation + Martial Arts. This attack may not be blocked or dodged normally, but may be defended with any effect that provides defense against shaping effects. If used during social combat, the attack has a speed of 1 long tick and a rate of 1. This attack may be used on inactive targets. If successful, the attack may inflict an Compulsion, Emotion, Illusion or Servitude effect.
The effect depicted by the image is imprinted on reality with no discussion or argument, so unless the target is given reason to suspect otherwise, he will assume any effects of the attack are his own idea. If he should realize the effect is foreign, he still may not realize the attack came from the caster unless the caster was obviously involved in some way (e.g. using an impromptu image).
Alternatively, this charm can enchant the image itself to deliver an identical attack to an imaged target as a written attack (Exalted 2, pg. 175).
