Steal Beauty (VH)

Regular 
Transfers the subject’s beauty to the caster. The caster gains one or more appearance levels (p. B21) while the subject loses an equal number. 
Beauty can only be stolen from someone of better appearance than the caster, and the caster cannot gain better appearance than the subject’s initial appearance level. The subject must be of the same species and sex as the caster. 
In addition, the subject must either be willing or totally helpless and must be touched for the entire casting time. A critical failure of this spell instantly makes the caster Hideous. 
At the GM’s option, this spell may also be used to steal Charisma (M) and the Voice (P) advantage. People with stolen Charisma simply become less scintillating; those with stolen Voices become mute. Critical failure on either of these applications results in muteness for the caster!

Duration: 24 hours; at the end of this time, both the caster and subject regain their normal appearance. 
Cost: Equal to the character point difference between the subject’s original and final appearances (or equal to the cost of the stolen advantage, in the case of Charisma or Voice). 
Time to cast: 30 seconds. 
Prerequisites: Magery 3, Alter Visage, and Steal Vitality.

Item 
Staff, wand, or jewelry. The wearer and the item must both touch the victim. Usable only by mages.  
Energy cost to create: 2,500.
