Charm Keywords:

However, altering the fate of something is taxing for the magical girl, not to mention being a potential Morality violation ('[[GreenEyedMonster your love with him will crash and burn and in his place you'll love me]]'). Charms with Fatal keyword causes Persistent Blowback Point(s) for the magical girl who use it for as long as the charm is taking place.
* ''Holy'': Charms with this keyword are [[{{Pokemon}} super effective]] when it comes to harming Creatures of Darkness. If it inflicts wounds, the wounds are Aggravated damage. If it inflicts loss of Willpower or Vice channel, the target find it near impossible to recover the loss. If it's used to dismantle social machinations, it will seriously hurt the Creatures' conspiracies. Can only be used by magical girls and a few Vigilantes.
* ''August'': Similar to Holy charms, but it targets Anathema. Can only be used by machine-angels.
* ''Blasphemous'': Charms with this keyword draw upon the collective evil of humanity, capable of causing far more terrible effects than what its Legend rating indicates. The drawback is that it supernaturally alerts everyone in the vicinity, potentially drawing unwanted attention from the good magical girls.
