Beauty
The Beauty Purview depicts the transcendent grace and allure of those Gods known for their epic appearance. In addition to divine heights of physical appeal, this Purview is also capable of wielding and reshaping beauty itself as a fundamental force, granting blessings that manifest their recipient’s inner beauty or stripping away the good looks of foes.
Duration: Condition
Subject: One character or multiple trivial characters
Range: Short
Action: Simple
You can bestow blessings that reveal a person’s true beauty, or curses that mar them with ugliness. Your blessing or curse takes the form of a Condition imposed on one character, or on all trivial targets within range. Using this Boon on trivial targets is free. A blessed character may use their beauty once per scene to add Enhancement 2 on any roll made with a Social Attribute. This Condition resolves once its benefit has been applied a total of your (Legend + 1) times. A cursed character suffers a +2 Complication on all Social rolls where their distorted appearance is a disadvantage. This Condition can be resolved by making a sincere and heartfelt apology to someone the target has wronged in a significant way, or with curse-breaking magic.
Duration: Indefinite
Subject: One character or multiple trivial characters
Range: Medium
Action: Simple
You know how to flaunt your looks to kindle an irresistible infatuation. This takes the form of a Condition that you can impose on either a single target, or on all trivial targets within range. The Condition raises the target’s Attitude towards you by two points, which does not stack with other magical Attitude bonuses. It can be resolved by enjoying a moment of physical intimacy (e.g. sex, a passionate kiss, a really good hug) with you, or when you reject the target’s advances. Reclaiming the Legend imbued in this Boon also resolves the Condition.
Duration: One scene
Subject: Self
Action: Reflexive
The line between beauty and monstrosity is drawn by your hand. Your very appearance instills your enemies with the absolute terror of confronting your divinity. Trivial targets automatically flee from you, while other characters face a +2 Complication on any action that does not somehow help them flee your presence.

TERRIBLE TO BEHOLD
For many Gods, such as Hel, Kali, and Sun Wukong, their monstrous or frightening appearance is central to their Legend. If you are the child of one of these Gods or have a Legendary Title that describes your own monstrous appearance, you can choose one of your Purviews to easily access Visage Great and Terrible. Its cost isn’t increased when you emulate it with a marvel of the chosen Purview, and you may learn it as one of that Purview’s boons. A Scion of Kali might channel it through War; a Scion of Hel through Death; or a Scion of Sun Wukong through Beasts.Purviews | Boons 243VISAGE GREAT AND TERRIBLE

Innate Power: You may attempt a Feat of Scale when you roll to influence a character using your beauty, appearance, and body language. This includes seduction, but also cutting someone down with a withering glare or using body language to convince a guard you’re not a threat.
