RedMantis
The Agent Coulson of his Circle
OK guys, I've been talking about my namesake, Red Mantis the Night Caste Burglar, for awhile and there's something I need to know before I buy the last of the base book Stealth charms for him. How the heck does VftMEM work?

I get the basics of it, you use it and someone forgets that you were the one they saw. I play a bit more Vampire than Exalted so my mind keeps blurring into the level of obfuscate with nearly the same name. I've asked my storyteller and his explanations don't make much more sense to me.
Does this charm make one person forget one instance of you being seen?
Can it be used on someone who isn't anywhere near you?
Can it be used to make someone forget they saw you years after the fact?
The duration is indefinite, does that mean that a person will never remember who they saw?
Do you have to choose a target after you've been spotted or do you use it in case someone can see you while you're sneaking around?
Again, I can wrap my mind around "This Charm causes people to forget having met or even seen the Chosen, replacing her presence in their memories with a vague stranger or no one at all." but it's the HOW in a game mechanics sense that I need. So that I don't plan a heist from one of our Abyssal foes only to have the Storyteller tell me I'm doing it wrong at step 6 of the heist.
The foremost application of this is that I want to see if my character could use it on Tepet Ajava to make her forget that he was part of the circle of Solars she's hunting. If that was successful I would be able to meet with her in person in some other powerful and trustworthy persona and give misinformation. I'm not worried about the guards since,well, we killed all the old ones the first time they met us. I know that the Bronze faction saved her the first time but that's OOC knowledge so I have to deal with that when it comes up.
