Editing Campaign:EA-Exalted/Wang Long (section)

== Anima Powers ==
The Concealing Shadows have more control over their animas than the average Solar Exalted do. The Hidden Suns can mute their animas, allowing them to exert their powers without the display of power. When Wang expends Peripheral Essence, he may spend additional motes in order to prevent the expenditure from adding to his anima banner. This ability does not allow him to mute Essence displays caused by the use of sorcery, however. To prevent the motes spent on a Charm that is not Obvious from adding to his anima banner, he must add one mote to the cost of the Charm. When using an Obvious Charm, he must spend twice the normal mote cost of the Charm to prevent it from adding to his anima banner.<br>
Wang may also extend his muted anima like an imperceptible veil around himself. This extended anima lasts for an entire scene and costs 10 motes of Essence to evoke. The anima mutes the senses of those attempting to perceive him, as well as the evidence he leaves behind for those who would follow his trail. Shadows are darker, sounds are muffled, and scent and footprints are both much lighter than normal. This muting increases the difficulty of all rolls to notice or track Wang by half his Essence (rounded up), as long as this muted anima effect is active. Once he spends 11-15 motes of Essence, though he is just as obvious as any other Exalt, his features are completely obscured by his anima display. Thus, assuming none of them saw him prior to his anima flaring, witnesses would be aware a Solar had been in their midst, but not his identity.
