*(Ability) '''Charm Name''' (Abil 4 Ess 2 p42): 1m, Reflexive (Step 1), Combo-OK, Instant. Cause Gem to explode.
*(Excellency) '''THIRD ABILITY EXCELLENCY - ESSENCE RESURGENT''' (Ability 1, Essence 1, Core p185): 3m, Reflexive (Step 4 for attacker, Step 6 for defender), Combo-OK, Instant
After making a roll based on the relevant Ability, this charm allows Mythsaron to roll again and use the new result if preferred. It can also be used to enhance static values derived from the relevant Ability, increasing Mythsaron's effective (Attribute + Ability) rating for one task by the Ability rating. Usable with '''Martial Arts, and War.'''
 
*(Excellency) '''FATEFUL ABILITY EXCELLENCY - ESSENCE AUSPICIOUS''' (Ability 4, Essence 3, Sids p127): 1m+, Reflexive (Step 1 for attacker, step 2 for defender), Instant
The target number of a dice roll using the chosen Ability is reduced by one for every mote spent, down to no lower than 4. Mythsaron can spend one Willpower and enough to reduce the target number to 3 to grant an "auspicious success" instead, forgoing the actual roll and transforming every die in the dice pool into an automatic success. To purchase the auspicious success in Step 2 as a defense can double Mythsaron's Defense Value against an attack. Usable with '''Martial Arts and War.'''
 
*(Dodge) '''ABSENCE''' (Dodge 2, Essence 2, Sids p143): 2m, Reflexive (Step 2), Combo-OK, Instant
Mythsaron's Dodge DV ignores all penalties when resolving the attack this charm responds to.
 
*(Dodge) '''DUCK FATE''' (Dodge 3, Essence 2, Sids p143): 10m, Reflexive (Step 2), Combo-Basic, Instant
Mythsaron rolls (Dexterity + Dodge) against a difficulty equal to the Essence of the foe causing imminent danger (with environmental dangers of difficulty 1.) Success causes Mythsaron to avoid that harmful effect, even if it's unexpected, an area-of-effect, a nonphysical attack, or even a continuous effect with a duration longer than instant (which needs only be avoided once.) Very large area of effect spells that Mythsaron couldn't be capable of avoiding due to physical limitations foil this charm. This charm is used before his opponent's attack roll or as soon as he is aware of the effect.
 
*(Dodge) '''AVOIDANCE KATA''' (Dodge 3, Essence 3, Sids p143): 2m, Reflexive, Illusion, Instant
If used within two actions of a Join Battle or Join Debate roll, Mythsaron simply vanishes from this location and appears somewhere else where he could have been instead, out of his control but based on plausible alternatives if he'd taken an alternate course minutes before. An Illusion effect blurs the memories of witnesses so it seems as though he'd always been in the alternate location, though wounds still remain and other affected objects/people remain affected so. Two Willpower can be spent to overcome the Illusion, otherwise the confused parties fabricate some false scenario to explain the lapse.
 
*(War) '''AUSPICIOUS RECRUITMENT DRIVE''' (War 1, Essence 2, Sids p158): 5m, Simple (dramatic action), War, Instant
This charm halves the time it takes for Mythsaron to increase a unit's Magnitude by one dot through recruitment or healing.
 
*(War) '''PREDESTINED TRIUMPH PRACTICE''' (War 4, Essence 2, Sids p160): 8m 1wp, Simple, Virtue (Valor), War, One battle
This charm increases a unit's Morale by Mythsaron's Essence while opposing forces suffer a one-die penalty to their attacks and Defense Values, so long as Mythsaron commands the unit. If he advises an army's commander instead, he must succeeded at a (Charisma + War) roll at Difficulty 1, 3, or 5 depending if the leader cooperates, doubts him, or flatly refuses his advice respectively.
 
*(War) '''ESSENCE-DRAINING BATTLE PATTERN''' (War 5, Essence 3, Sids p161): 8m, Simple, Virtue (Compassion), War, Until battle's end.
For this charm to work, the Sidereal must first have activated Predestined Triumph Practice, above. He then urges his forces into a combat pattern, rolls (Intelligence + War), and if successful penalize his foes' Charms and Sorcery mote cost by an amount equal to the successes (capping at his Essence) times the amount of special characters including himself enacting this battle pattern. All those special characters also receive an extra mote of Essence per action enacting this battle pattern. The penalty cannot more than double a Charm or spell cost, and only one of these charms can benefit an individual army in a given battle.
 
*(Martial Arts) '''THE LOTUS BLOSSOMS''' (Martial Arts 5, Essence 5, SoE p141) Native, Permanent
The requirements to learn a Martial Arts charm as well as invoke its abilities require one less point in Essence and Ability to learn and use.

Mythsaron Dreaming Mantle is developing the Quicksilver Hand of Dreams Style, a Sidereal Martial art inspired by his adventures into the Wyld. The style allows him to manipulate, control, and tangibly hold his dreams and the dreams of others with his very hands. The style as he practices and develops it requires that he learn to reimagine and alter the reality of Creation, and to perform the style requires him to be unarmed and unarmored.<br/>
Mythsaron Dreaming Mantle has developed the Quicksilver Hand of Dreams Style, a Sidereal Martial art inspired by his adventures into the Wyld. The style allows him to manipulate, control, and tangibly hold his dreams and the dreams of others with his very hands. The style as he practices and develops it requires that he learn to reimagine and alter the reality of Creation, and to perform the style requires him to be unarmed and unarmored unless he is using a weapon created of Gossamer and dreams.<br/>
Mythsaron also practices Throne Shadow Style from the Bulb of the Perfected Lotus, a style he can perform unarmed or while wielding cestus, fighting gauntlets, khatars, pankator's cestus, tiger claws, and other such brawling aides; as well as improved weapons. The style is compatible with any armor, though Mythsaron prefers being unarmored and unarmed when practicing martial arts since his more advanced techniques require it.<br/>
He's a master of Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Style and has delved into Charcoal March of Spiders Style and mastered Throne Shadow Style.
The use of Quicksilver Hand of Dreams Style charms can make knowledge of Mythsaron as forgettable as a dream, so each individual use of the charms have a chance of making someone forget him in the world, and impose external penalties on Investigation checks to uncover what transpired during the scene of Charm use.
=== Throne Shadow Style (Mastered) ===
For knowing this style, Mythsaron possesses 'Shadow Fingers' which benefit from an extra dot of martial arts and his martial arts skill to their Dodge MDV. Their attacks all count as his martial arts attacks for charm uses.

*Lion Mouse Stratagem
*'''Shadowed Hand Demonstration'''

*'''Clear Eyes Defense'''
*Shadow Lost in the Court
*Pneuma-Stealing Strike
*Deadliest of All Weapons

*Finger-Stealing Handshake
*World as Weapon Mastery


=== Throne Shadow Style ===
=== Violet Bier of Sorrows ===
*'''LOTUS EYE TACTICS''' (Martial Arts 3, Essence 2, SoE p138): 1m or 3m; Reflexive, Combo-OK, Indefinite
*'''Secrets of Future Strife'''
For 1m, it becomes Obvious to Mythsaron when an individual has an equal or higher Martial Arts rating to him, unless that individual is supernaturally disguised. For 3m, Mythsaron instead knows of all of their combat Abilities ranked equal or higher than his Martial Arts rating.
*'''Joy in Adversity Stance'''


=== Quicksilver Hand of Dreams Style ===
=== Quicksilver Hand of Dreams Style (Mastered)===
*'''THE QUICKSILVER STAIRCASE''' (Martial Arts 2, Essence 2, SotM p139): Enlightening, Permanent
For knowing this style, Mythsaron can perform its Student and Elder Sutras, and can also perceive objects made of dreams and gossamer for what they are. He treats Wyld zones as three steps closer to Creation, meaning only the pure and formless chaos of the Wyld can actually mutate him (unless he allows it.)<br/>
Mythsaron is a lucid dreamer who can flawlessly remember all of his dreams, and trains within those dreams to master this style. He can perceive that objects are made of glamour and gossamer, and can handle raw dream-stuff as if they were physical objects (though he cannot hand them to others unless he contains them in a dreamcatcher.) He also treats Wyld zones as one step closer to Creation for purposes of determining physical and mental warp of the Wyld.

*Peaceful Repose Touch
*Fervent Night Phantasm
*Dream Ravager Hand
*Ephemeral Presence Technique
*Dreamwalker Kata
*Inescapable Nightmare Pursuit
*'''Quicksilver Hand of Dreams Form'''
*Gossamer Understanding
*'''Chimerical Ascension'''
*'''Fantasy'''
*'''Master's Hand Envisioned Anew (Long Powerbows)'''


*'''PEACEFUL REPOSE TOUCH''' (Martial Arts 4, Essence 3, SotM p140): 2m or 4m; Supplemental, Combo-OK, Compulsion, Touch, Instant
=== Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Style (Mastered) ===
Mythsaron can attempt a normal Martial Arts attack which needs only hit (even if it deals no damage.) If Mythsaron's (Martial Arts + Essence) surpasses the target's Dodge MDV, the magic takes effect. This charm has three levels of potency.
Having mastered this form, Mythsaron can invoke its Student and Elder Sutras and blend its perfect Form charm with other Forms from the style, or from other styles (though in the latter case, additional forms are limited to two. For example, he could activate Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Form, Soul Fire Shaper Form, and Quicksilver Hand of Dreams Form all at once if he can pay their costs.)<br/>
'''Waking Level (2 motes):''' The target can be stunned through their next action, or put to normal sleep if they're unresisting. This level also infallibly awakens a sleeper even if they were put to sleep by this or other charms or spells.
*Deadly Starmetal Offensive
'''Dreaming Level (4 motes):''' The target is forced to sleep deeply for 24 hours, though they can temporarily resist the compulsion by spending one Willpower per action to delay it. The target can still be awakened by significant shocks such as slapping or dunking them in water. Alternatively, the target can be made unable to sleep naturally for as many days as the attacker's successes.
*Orichalcum Sheathing Stance
*Flickering Moonsilver Approach
*Five Jade Fury
*'''Four Magical Metals Form'''
*'''Charm Redirection Technique'''
*'''Sequential Charm Disruption'''
*'''Spell-Shattering Palm'''
*'''Astrology Interruption Method'''
*'''Soul Fire Shaper Form'''
*God Ways
*'''Chosen of Battle Sidereal Ways'''
*Games of Divinity Form
*'''Demesne Emulation Practice'''
*Demesne and Manse Form
*'''Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Form'''


*'''FERVENT NIGHT PHANTASM''' (Martial Arts 4, Essence 3, SotM p140): 2m or 4m; Supplemental, Combo-OK, Illusion, Touch, Instant
=== Charcoal March of Spiders Style ===
As with Peaceful Repose Touch, Mythsaron can attempt a martial arts attack that regardless of harm, affects a foe magically if his (Martial Arts + Essence) surpasses their Dodge MDV. This charm has three levels of potency.
*'''Rain of Unseen Threads'''
'''Waking Level (2 motes):''' The target has a dream implanted in their consciousness that has no physical or metaphysical effect, but is vividly remembered upon waking so it can be used as a medium to attempt a social attack upon the target using whatever Abilities Mythsaron possesses.
*'''Nest of Living Strands'''
'''Dreaming Level (4 motes):''' Mythsaron forces the victim to dream while awake. The induced hallucination introduces one new entity into the target's perception, such as an object or a person. It can alternatively be used to replace or mask real entities, such as making a home appeal differently to their senses or make a pit look like solid ground, or even make one person appear as another (though their words aren't altered by this illusion.) The dream image lasts the rest of the scene, and the target can resist the waking dream for one action by spending a Willpower point. Implanting new hallucinations cancels out old ones.

After making a roll based on the relevant Ability, this charm allows Mythsaron to roll again and use the new result if preferred. It can also be used to enhance static values derived from the relevant Ability, increasing Mythsaron's effective (Attribute + Ability) rating for one task by the Ability rating.

  • (Excellency) FATEFUL ABILITY EXCELLENCY - ESSENCE AUSPICIOUS (Ability 4, Essence 3, Sids p127): 1m+, Reflexive (Step 1 for attacker, step 2 for defender), Instant

The target number of a dice roll using the chosen Ability is reduced by one for every mote spent, down to no lower than 4. Mythsaron can spend one Willpower and enough to reduce the target number to 3 to grant an "auspicious success" instead, forgoing the actual roll and transforming every die in the dice pool into an automatic success. To purchase the auspicious success in Step 2 as a defense can double Mythsaron's Defense Value against an attack. Usable with Martial Arts and War.

  • (Dodge) ABSENCE (Dodge 2, Essence 2, Sids p143): 2m, Reflexive (Step 2), Combo-OK, Instant

Mythsaron's Dodge DV ignores all penalties when resolving the attack this charm responds to.

  • (Dodge) DUCK FATE (Dodge 3, Essence 2, Sids p143): 10m, Reflexive (Step 2), Combo-Basic, Instant

Mythsaron rolls (Dexterity + Dodge) against a difficulty equal to the Essence of the foe causing imminent danger (with environmental dangers of difficulty 1.) Success causes Mythsaron to avoid that harmful effect, even if it's unexpected, an area-of-effect, a nonphysical attack, or even a continuous effect with a duration longer than instant (which needs only be avoided once.)

This charm is used before his opponent's attack roll or as soon as he is aware of the effect.

  • (Dodge) AVOIDANCE KATA (Dodge 3, Essence 3, Sids p143): 2m, Reflexive, Illusion, Instant

If used within two actions of a Join Battle or Join Debate roll, Mythsaron simply vanishes from this location and appears somewhere else where he could have been instead, out of his control but based on plausible alternatives if he'd taken an alternate course minutes before. An Illusion effect blurs the memories of witnesses so it seems as though he'd always been in the alternate location, though wounds still remain and other affected objects/people remain affected so. Two Willpower can be spent to overcome the Illusion, otherwise the confused parties fabricate some false scenario to explain the lapse.

  • (War) AUSPICIOUS RECRUITMENT DRIVE (War 1, Essence 2, Sids p158): 5m, Simple (dramatic action), War, Instant

He then urges his forces into a combat pattern, rolls (Intelligence + War), and if successful penalize his foes' Charms and Sorcery mote cost by an amount equal to the successes (capping at his Essence) times the amount of special characters including himself enacting this battle pattern. All those special characters also receive an extra mote of Essence per action enacting this battle pattern. The penalty cannot more than double a Charm or spell cost, and only one of these charms can benefit an individual army in a given battle.

Mythsaron Dreaming Mantle has developed the Quicksilver Hand of Dreams Style, a Sidereal Martial art inspired by his adventures into the Wyld. The style allows him to manipulate, control, and tangibly hold his dreams and the dreams of others with his very hands. The style as he practices and develops it requires that he learn to reimagine and alter the reality of Creation, and to perform the style requires him to be unarmed and unarmored unless he is using a weapon created of Gossamer and dreams.
He's a master of Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Style and has delved into Charcoal March of Spiders Style and mastered Throne Shadow Style.

Throne Shadow Style (Mastered)[edit]

For knowing this style, Mythsaron possesses 'Shadow Fingers' which benefit from an extra dot of martial arts and his martial arts skill to their Dodge MDV. Their attacks all count as his martial arts attacks for charm uses.

Quicksilver Hand of Dreams Style (Mastered)[edit]

For knowing this style, Mythsaron can perform its Student and Elder Sutras, and can also perceive objects made of dreams and gossamer for what they are.
