onlooker to consider the wearer as beautiful, but otherwise normal in all other ways.  The wearer could be a Dragon-King in the middle of a crowd of mortals and on-lookers would not notice anything out of place.  The wielder's Appearance is increased by 2 for those effected in this way.  Onlookers may resist this effect by paying the difference between their essence and the wielder's essence (minimum 1, maximum 3) in willpower.  This effect is negated if the wielder becomes obviously hostile, or if her anima banner flares to the 8-10 level.<br/>The wielder also gains +3 to Presence.<br/>The wielder may spend 2m to remove all social penalties due to appearance as a diceless miscellaneous action, this effect shrouds the wearer in the holy light of the sun for the duration of the action, making it Holy and Obvious.  This effect is the same as the Collar of Dawn's Cleansing Light.<br/>1 Hearthstone Slot<br/>5m commitment<br/><br/><br/>Attacks:<br/>Thorn
