The Solar’s heart knows the arrow’s path. She spends three motes and fires a single flawless shot, regardless of distance, visibility, weather and other prevailing conditions. This Charm nullifies all penalties, except wound and multiple action penalties, applying to a single Archery-based attack. If the Solar has Essence 3 or higher, she can spend two additional motes and this Charm will increase the Range of her weapon to her maximum visibility range.

Cost: 6m Mins: Performance 4, Essence 2
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Emotion, Social
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisite Charms: Any Performance Excellency
Supplements Performance based roll, exerts unnatural mental influence. If ( targets ) MDV is less than the extra successes on the roll, this Charm inspires the desired emotion intensely for a scene. Resisting the influence costs 2 Willpower.

Phantom-Conjuring Performance
Cost: - Mins: Performance 3, Essence 3
Type: Permanent
Keywords: Obvious
Duration: Variable
Prerequisite Charms: Any Performance Excellency
Essence enhances the Solar’s arts. This Charm allows the Solar to create ghostly images, Essence flares, ethereal music and strange sensory effects when using a Performance Excellency or Presence Excellency. These effects do not seem entirely real, they remain within (Essence x 10) yards of the Solar, and they cannot be used to confuse or deceive others without a stunt. This Charm has no cost, but the Solar need not use its effects.

Demon-Wracking Glory
Cost: variable +1 wp Mins: Performance 5, Essence 3
Type: Simple ( Speed 6, DV -2 )
Keywords: Combo-Basic, Illusion, Obvious
Duration: Instant (see below)
Prerequisite Charms: Phantom-Conjuring Performance
This Charm expands Haunting Apparition Trick. The maximum radius for evoking unnatural effects extends to (Essence x 100) yards, or (Essence – 5) miles if the Abyssal has Essence 6+. More importantly, the Exalt may use these effects to cause physical injury to living, mortal creatures within (Essence x 10) yards. The Charm causes harm through blatantly supernatural and suitably Abyssal effects. Chill winds freeze, frightful keening causes the victim to bleed from the ears and so on. Withering Phantasmagoria inflicts harm in three ways. The Abyssal chooses between them each time she uses the Charm. Two methods last as long as the Abyssal continues to sing, play, orate or the like, and spends Essence each action to maintain the Charm. The third is an instant attack. For each form, however, the Abyssal’s player must roll (Charisma + Performance) to initiate the attack. A character gains one attack form when she learns the Charm. Additional applications cost an additional experience point each, or all three attack forms for one bonus point. A character can use only one attack form at a time. Activating the Charm costs Willpower. Continuing it merely costs Essence (for the two continuing effects).142

Area, Continuing: The Abyssal inflicts one level of lethal damage per two motes spent each action, to a maximum of (Essence) damage. Targets can soak this damage only with Stamina or soak-enhancing Charms. The Abyssal’s lethal performance affects everyone whose Dodge MDV is less than the number of successes from the attack roll. Continuing the attack counts as the character’s Charm use for each action.

Single Target, Continuing: The Abyssal’s chosen victim suffers one level of unsoakable lethal damage per action that the Abyssal continues the Charm. This effect costs three motes per action. The initial attack roll must exceed the victim’s Dodge MDV. Continuing the attack counts as the character’s Charm use for each action.

Single Target, Instant: The Abyssal spends up to her (Stamina + Essence) in motes and inflicts that many dice of lethal damage, plus extra successes from the attack roll. The target can resist this damage only with Stamina or soak-enhancing Charms. The attack cannot be parried without a Charm or stunt, but it can be dodged like a normal ranged attack.

New Solar Charm: Demon-Wracking Glory (Prerequisites: Phantom-Conjuring Performance; Exalted, p. 202). This Charm expands the capabilities of Phantom-Conjuring Performance to increase its range. It also has the Holy keyword for its Performance-based attacks, inflicting aggravated damage to targeted creatures of darkness but leaving all other creatures unharmed. Attacks take the form of bright fires, scorching beams of sunlight, phantom executioners and the like.

• Athletics

Graceful Crane Stance
Cost: 3m Mins: Athletics 1, Essence 2
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisite Charms: None
Auto succeed on any athletics roll to maintain balance. Allows the Exalt to keep his balance on any surface as strong and wide as human hair. He treats it as a 3-foot wedge capable of supporting a thousand pounds of weight when determining what movement and Athletics actions he can take and what penalties to them might apply.

Spider-Foot Style
Cost: 4m Mins: Athletics 3, Essence 2
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisite Charms: Graceful Crane Stance
The heroes of the dawn make the impossible look easy. This Charm allows the character to run (using the Move and Dash actions) on any surface. She cannot stop while standing on a vertical surface or while upside down, however. If she does not make a Move or Dash action on every tick, she falls. If the Solar has Essence 4 or higher, she can spend one mote per action to remain standing on a vertical or inverted surface. She can, for example, fence while standing upside down on the ceiling.

• Awareness

Keen (Sight) Technique
Cost: 3m Mins: Awareness 3, Essence 2
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisite Charms: None
Essence enhances the Solar’s senses. Keen (Sense) Technique is actually three Charms, one that heightens sight, one that heightens hearing and touch and one that heightens smell and taste. This Charm gives two bonus successes on Awareness actions that use the relevant senses. It also allows the character to clearly perceive sensory impressions that are normally too faint for human senses to validly observe at all. Some feats appropriate for users of this Charm follow.

Sight. The character can make out the detail on a commander’s epaulet at 500 yards distance, at night. He can see the individual threads of a shirt, and with a legendary success, he can make out the motion of the mites that live on others’ eyebrows.

Unsurpassed (Sight) Discipline
Cost: 2m Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 2
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisite Charms: Keen (Sight) Technique
Essence grants the character supreme sensory prowess. Unsurpassed (Sense) Discipline is actually three Charms. One heightens sight, one heightens hearing and touch, and one heightens smell and taste. This Charm doubles the character’s successes on Awareness rolls, before subtracting any external penalties. Should the character employ this Charm in combination with the appropriate Keen (Sense) Technique, it is reasonable to imagine that she could critique the mating practices of insects, read with her fingertips or gauge an individual’s mood by scent.

Charms

Husband-Seducing Demon Dance
Cost: 10m 1wpMins: Performance 5, Essence 3
Type: Simple ( Speed 6 in long ticks )
Keywords: Combo-OK, Emotion, Obvious, Social
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Heart-Compelling Method
The Solar gives a performance, rolls ( Charisma or Manipulation ) + Performance + Appearance in bonus dice. Exerts unnatural mental influence on all who witness the performance. Characters with a MDV less than the Solar's successes must spend 2 Willpower or fall instantly in love with either the Solar or something she represents. This effect does not depend on gender or sexual preference. Th This love is a form of commitment ( see p.201 ). Targets can break the commitment but must spend one Willpower each scene where they deliberately attempt to shake it off.

Respect Commanding Attitude
Cost: 6m Mins: Performance 3, Essence 2
Type: Simple (Speed 4 in long ticks)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Compulsion, Social
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisite Charms: None
Others listen when the Lawgivers speak. In ancient days, they commanded the attention of Primordials, beasts and gods. This Charm involves a performance or oration, and the Solar’s player rolls (an appropriate Social Attribute + Performance) when invoking Respect Commanding Attitude. This Charm exerts unnatural mental influence on everyone who can see or hear the character. If the extra successes exceed a given target’s MDV, that target suffers a compulsion to stay in the Exalt’s company and respectfully observe the performance. Resisting this compulsion for five minutes costs one Willpower, up to a maximum of three Willpower per scene, and such resistance allows the target to leave, heckle or even forcibly silence the character.

Monkey Leap Technique
Cost: 3m Mins: Athletics 1, Essence 2
