Mark of the End to Come
Cost: -; Mins: Occult 5, Essence 4; Type: PermanentKeywords: IllusionDuration: PermanentPrerequisite Charms: God-Slaying Torment
Each death an Abyssal causes is a message to everything in Creation that it is next. This Charm allows the Shadow of the Abyss to make this message explicit to anyone who ventures on the corpse of her victim.

Upon dealing enough damage to kill her target she may activate God-Slaying Torment, and commit the motes indefinitely, to cut all her victim’s ties to fate or any other construct that enforces causality. The target’s corpse stays exactly as it was, still visible but otherwise unable to be affected. Material and immaterial creatures alike may pass through it as if it weren’t there.

In addition to searing the image of her victim into reality, the first time in a scene that anyone witnesses the corpse they are filled with the memories of his death as an unnatural Illusion that costs 2 willpower to resist. The Abyssal may include or ignore any details from the scene of his death, of which she is aware, in this image. In addition to the memory, witnesses see the corpse flash with the Abyssal’s totemic anima - marking her as his murderer. Mortals react as normal for viewing an 

Abyssal’s iconic aura (MoEP: Abyssals, 101).

Magical possessions and Celestial Exaltations are immune to the effects of this Charm and are not held in place. All effects of this Charm end when the Abyssal releases the motes committed, leaving behind a plain, if well preserved, corpse.
