In the extended absence of light creatures get used to the darkness, they adapt. No Abyssal would ever actively shine light, but she may conceal her shadow - for a moment. After invoking this Charm the Abyssal's shadow sputters with essence, rapidly shifting between shrouding her surroundings in blackness and disappearing entirely. This strobing effect allows the Daywalkers to reestablish surprise regardless of their surroundings, though it does make it obvious that a monster is near. Without other magic this effect ends when the Abyssal's anima reaches the 8+ mote level; while a candle may flicker a bonfire may never be obscured.At Essence 3+ those engulfed by this Charm's effects also suffer a -(Essence/2) external penalty to notice anyone hidden in the area and a -1 external penalty to parry and dodge DVs against all attacks.
