In spite of the chaos around her, the martial artist is the calm eye in the raging hurricane. Concentrating on her defense, the character adds her Essence rating to her Dodge and Parry DVs. She suffers onslaught and multiple opponent penalties as normal, however her DV cannot be brought below 2 while this charm is in effect. However, due to the defensive posture, the martial artist subtracts her(Essence-1) in dice from her next attack roll.
Example: Artan is being attacked by a group of hobgoblins. He has essence 3 and a parry DV and dodge DV of 6. He activates Eye of Chaos Stance, increasing his DVs to 9. The boost lasts until his next action, when Artan strikes back, but he has a -2 penalty on the attack roll, which will stack with any other penalties he is suffering at the time.
