Swaying Twilight Gown: A many layered gown of water smooth black silk with prominent white hems and a dark blue mantle split down the center like a pair of wings and embroidered with patterns of white lotus flowers. It's train trails behind the wearer, never touching the base earth. A finely painted silk panel is affixed to the front, displaying curling vines and white petaled azalea flowers, spotted with red like drops of blood. Made by an apprentice of the Duchess Cai, and infused with a thread from the spirit Liming, it's craftsmanship is near unparalleled, though its potential still sleeps.

Dusk Singer Mode
Increase Trait Bonuses to +4 and +2
Allows you to temporarily appear to be one stage higher in cultivation than you are. Once per scene you may treat yourself as if you were truly one stage higher in cultivation for the duration of one stunt. At G8 this does allow you to be treated as C1, but this will cause the gown's active functions including dusk singer mode to shut down for the remainder of the scene.
Up to twice per scene your dress may fully absorb the force of an attack targeted at you. This does not affect the other targets of an AoE effect.
Question, is Potency about Rank, like G5, G8, or is it something else?
