Dread Panoply of the Silent Wind
Cost: 1m; Mins: Melee 1, Essence 1
Type: Simple

The Infernal makes a slashing gesture with her weapon, and it vanishes. At any point thereafter she can cause it to appear in her hand for a brief moment, allowing her to attack with it before it disappears again. Using this Charm makes it impossible to disarm the Infernal or otherwise interfere with her weapon except on the tick she attacks. However, her weapon only appears in her hand in response to a killing intent, making it impossible to parry with it except on those ticks.
