Threshold successes do not apply normally on this social attack; use the rules detailed in its text instead.

This Charm enhances any Manipulation-based social attack against a social unit aimed at stirring up infighting and chaos within the organization. It is explicitly permitted to supplement actions using other Abilities. Through the power of Cancerous Dissent Technique, the Abyssal's attack does not require any direct contact with the organization's leader. Instead, the deathknight conveys the attack to any unit member and waits for the seeds of dissatisfaction and unrest to work their way up through the social structure. Step Two of attack resolution does not occur until a number of days pass equal to the unit's Magnitude, preventing anyone from connecting the attack to the Abyssal without a thorough investigation that has a base difficulty equal to the Abyssal's (Socialize + Essence). Rather than attempt to change the unit's Policy, the unnatural Emotion effect of this attack tears the organization apart from within, draining one Loyalty point for every two successes by which it exceeds the unit leader's Dodge MDV.
