Duration: Indefinite or Permanent Prerequisite Charms: Stamina Excellency, Flesh-Sculpting Art The heart's blood is more then just a shape the lunar knows, it is a fragment of a soul of a beast, person or spirit the lunar has claimed as their own. From th at fragment the lunar can draw form and instinct, behaviour and knowledge. But t his protean technique is not about what the lunar can draw from a drop of heart' s blood, but what they can push back in. The wraps the drop in her own flesh and essence, and gives it life. The lunar creates a living animal from a chunk of her own flesh. The lunar choos es an animal from her heart's blood library, paying five motes and a level of ag gravated damage, two if the animal required Towering Beast Form to acquire or th ree if it required Emperor Ox Expansion. The hunk of flesh becomes a living, bre athing example of the animal whose heart's blood the lunar has consumed. The ani mal is a loyal to the lunar, like a trained war mount or hunting dog would be it 's master, although this loyalty ends the moment that the Lunar de-commits the m otes to this charm, leaving the animal as just a feral example of it's breed. At Essence 4, the Lunar may choose to instead of releasing the animal reabsorb i t. Should the lunar decommit the motes while in physical contact with the animal , she draws back her flesh from it into her body. The animal dies and the Lunar heals one level of aggravated damage. At Essence 5, the levels of aggravated damage healed from reabsorbing a Body-spa wned Beast is equal to the damage taken spawning it.
