It is the will of the Principle of Hierarchy that she not be attacked. Who can gainsay her? Upon activating this Charm, the Infernal's anima crystallizes into a force construct around her, glowing at the eight to ten mote level of display. Infernals who know Unseen Force Application can create invisible shields if preferred. The Charm provides a shield DV bonus of the Infernal's Essence rating, which is not cumulative with other cover benefits (only the best modifier applies). Even better, direct telekinetic attacks using Mind-Hand Manipulation are DV -0 actions with Force-Suppression Barrier active. Whenever a ranged attack completely misses the Infernal, the projectile slows to a stop as the shield strips all energy and inertia from it and drops harmlessly to the ground as the tick ends.
