This is a primarily combat-focused [[type::Celestial Martial Arts|celestial martial art]], but it rewards characters who have high social stats, and some characters may be able to find out-of-combat uses for some of the charms, or ways to use them to stop fights entirely. It is less high-concept than a Sidereal art, but most of its effects are still fairly exotic; it is probably most effective in combination with a more practical style. This style is light on defensive charms and heavy on charms that encourage or force other characters to attack the user, so defensive charms from other trees are more or less a must.
The martial artist abruptly commands all the attention of his target, drawing an attack intended for someone else. It must typically be a hand-to-hand attack, in which case the martial artist must be in hand-to-hand range, but a stunt or other mitigating circumstance such as proximity may enable this charm to 'steal' ranged attacks as well. The stolen attack is considered a moth attack (see below); otherwise, it is resolved in all respects like a normal attack directed at the martial artist, who may respond to it in any or all ways available to him.
 
Charms of this style treat attacks with straight swords and fans as unarmed, and are incompatible with armor. It is celestial level, but its charms are considered both wood and fire aspected for the purposes of Dragon-Blooded.

The martial artist abruptly commands all the attention of his target, drawing an attack intended for someone else. It must typically be a hand-to-hand attack, in which case the martial artist must be in hand-to-hand range, but a stunt or other mitigating circumstance such as proximity may enable this charm to 'steal' ranged attacks as well. The stolen attack is considered a moth attack (see below); otherwise, it is resolved in all respects like a normal attack directed at the martial artist, who may respond to it in any or all ways available to him.
