By subjugating her victim to a series of humiliating and often painful acts of sexual torture, the Abyssal fills her target with feelings of self-loathing and shame. Conditioning the target to feel that the abuse is both deserved and to be expected, the Abyssal locks her target in pattern of submission that is nigh-impossible to break out of. As a drug addict, the target is aware on some level that the abuse is bad for him, but the systematic abuse has left him with a feeling of dependency that makes him doubt his ability to function without it.

The deathknight abuses, tortures, and humiliates her target for a period of time no briefer than (target’s Willpower) days. The Abyssal’s player then rolls (Manipulation + Presence) against the target’s Dodge MDV. If the roll succeeds, the Abyssal breaks her target’s self-esteem and feeling of worth creating an Emotion effect of degradation and autophobia in the target. Coupled with the Emotion effect is a Compulsion effect that drives the target be subjugated in humiliating, sexual acts with the Abyssal who used the Charm on him. It costs three Willpower per scene to resist this effect.

Every day that the Abyssal spends at least a scene reinforcing the pattern of thralldom by sexually humiliating her target, who may or may not be a willing participant in the endeavors, the target is unable to regain lost Willpower by way of Conviction rolls.

To break the effects of this Charm, the target must take a number of rejection actions equal to his Conviction as per breaking an Intimacy (see Exalted page 201).
