Take control of the input, and the output obeys whatever one would demand of this. While this Charm is active, the Lunar may voluntarily and reflexively afflict herself with the irresistible Illusion that a substance, structure, character or object (singular, or all examples of this phenomenon) of her choice is composed of any mundane foodstuff she has personally consumed or which she can imagine. She may consume any affected matter she can fit in her mouth and it nourishes her as if it were the subject of the Illusion. She can perfectly digest the most toxic or disease-riddled substances without any ill effects beyond what the Illusionary foodstuff would impart, though indestructible objects like most artifacts simply pass through her digestive tract unharmed (and without harming her).<br/><br/>The Illusion on her senses is complete; the dirty water passed to her by her jailer has the heady odour of the fine wine that it "is" - which can also get her drunk, if she overindulges - and the prison bars can appear to be made of cake at a whim, though she must have the capacity to bite through iron in order to separate chunks of the bar off to be devoured. Once eaten, no ill-effects occur if the motes are decommitted, though no further nutritional benefit will be obtained from things mid-way through digestion and the passing of the waste may look somewhat strange when undigested brick dust is found in the toilet.<br/><br/>At Essence 3, this Charm automatically upgrades. It can be activated as a Touch-keyworded Simple Charm, with Duration of One Day for +1m to target others. The Lunar chooses the Illusions which affect the character is and may reflexively change them at will - Ma Ha Suchi finds great amusement in leaving an artfully done marzipan sculpture in the cot of the child of a target satrap. The Illusion may be resisted for one willpower per illusion, and once the target has spent (Lunar's Intelligence, max 5) willpower resisting this Charm, they are immune to its effects for a month. When activated in this way, the Illusion can also make edible substances into inedible ones, though they may not be made toxic or otherwise harmful, and such things still provide whatever water content they have. The target character must be left at least one thing they can eat - though it need not be anything close at hand, like "the hair of Mercury". Extended use of this to deny a character any chance to eat anything at hand will prove inevitably fatal.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I....
