Custom charms

Solar

• Unerring Bolt of Justice
• Cost: 6m, 1wp; Mins: Archery 5, Essence 3; Type: Simple (Speed 6, DV -1)
• Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Mirror (Piercing Ghost Barb; Abyssals, p122)
• Duration: Instant
• Prerequisite Charms: There is No Wind

The Lawgivers' weapons harm none but their intended targets, passing harmlessly through innocent bystanders and cowards' armor alike, for nothing can stand before the justice of the Sun.

This Charm negates all cover, all soak other than innate, and makes the attack unblockable except by unarmed parries. No one other than the designated target(s) will be harmed; if the attack misses, it will have no other effect.

• Blossoming Bolt Prana
• Cost: --; Mins: Archery 5, Essence 4; Type: Permanent
• Keywords: None
• Duration: Permanent
• Prerequisite Charms: Arrow-Storm Technique

The Lawgiver's arrows fall like rain on the enemies of Creation, blackening the skies with their shafts.

This charm enhances its prerequisite. For an additional 4m when activating Arrow-Storm Technique, the Exalt raises the number of shots fired from (Essence x3) to (Essence x4). For an additional 8m when activating the charm, the limit is raised to (Essence x5).

• Shining Meteor Falls
• Cost: 4m; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 4; Type: Simple (Speed 4, DV -1)
• Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
• Duration: Instant
• Prerequisite Charms: Crashing Wave Throw

The Solar throws one willing ally at a target character within (Martial Arts x10) yards horizontally or (Martal Arts x5) yards vertically. The ally gains the ability to make one reflexive Melee or Martial Arts attack on the target if he so chooses; if this attack hits, its raw damage is increased by the Solar's (Strength + Athletics). This increase does not count as a dice bonus from Charms for the purposes of the ally. The ally suffers action penalties to DV as normal if he attacks, but is not injured by being thrown. The Solar may not throw characters heavier than she would normally be able to throw.

• Tiger Deflects the Dragon's Flame
• Cost: 5m; Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 3; Type: Simple (Speed 5, DV -0)
• Keywords: Combo-Basic, Obvious
• Duration: One action
• Prerequisite Charms: Heaven Thunder Hammer

For the duration of this Charm, the Solar is able to deflect any Elemental Bolt Attacks (see Dragon-Blooded, p133) that target her and apply the effects of each one against up to (her Essence) different targets.

At the ST's discretion this Charm may apply to Charms other than Elemental Bolt Attack.

• Giant-Felling Pebbles Technique
• Cost: --; Mins: Thrown 2, Essence 2; Type: Permanent
• Keywords: Obvious
• Duration: Permanent
• Prerequisite Charms: None

Solars of old brought down giants with nothing but pebbles. This Charm ensures they will never be without ammunition.

This Charm permanently enhances the Solar's capabilities. She may spend 1m as a reflexive action that does not count as Charm use to create a glowing pebble from pure Essence. The pebbles have qualities as follows:

Speed 5, Accuracy +0, Damage +0B, Range 10, Rate 3

The pebbles dissipate upon impact with any surface or if someone other than the Solar who created them tries to use one.

• Spirit Weapons
• Cost: 2m+; Mins: Thrown 4, Essence 3; Type: Reflexive (Step 1)
• Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Mirror (Crypt Bolt Attack; Abyssals, p. 134)
• Duration: One scene
• Prerequisite Charms: Giant-Felling Pebbles Technique

This Charm allows the Solar to create glowing golden Thrown weapons of any shape she desires from pure Essence. She may create up to (her Essence) weapons at one time at a cost of 2m each. These weapons have qualities as follows:

Speed 5, Accuracy +0, Damage (Essence x2)L without adding Str, Range (Thrown x10) yds, Rate 1 per hand

The Solar may at any time reflexively cause one of these weapons to return to her hand, or reflexively end the 2m commitment causing the weapon to fade away into nothingness.

Unlike its mirror, this Charm does not allow the Solar to cause lethal damage with punches.

• Fiery Solar Chakram
• Cost: --; Mins: Thrown 5, Essence 3; Type: Permanent
• Keywords: Holy, Obvious, Mirror (Eyes Like Daggers Glance; Abyssals, p. 134)
• Duration: Permanent
• Prerequisite Charms: Spirit Weapons

This Charm improves its prerequisite, adding the Solar's primary Virtue to the Accuracy and Damage of weapons created using it. These weapons also inflict aggravated damage against Creatures of Darkness. Finally, when using Spirit Weapons, the Solar may ignite her anima or caste mark and use it to fire bolts of Solar essence into her enemies; this attack may be targeted with Charisma instead of Dexterity, has Rate 2, and is otherwise identical to an attack using Spirit Weapons.

• Martyr's Inescapable Damnation
• Cost: --; Mins: Integrity 5, Essence 4; Type: Permanent
• Keywords: Mirror (Unconquered Hero's Faith; Abyssals, p. 140-141)
• Duration: Permanent
• Prerequisite Charms: Integrity Essence Flow

The greatest heroes of Creation are sometimes forced to make the greatest sacrifice to save it.

Learning this Charm is impossible for a Solar without the "assistance" of an Abyssal, a Deathlord, or one of the Neverborn.

A Solar Exalt with this charm may learn Abyssal Charms as if she were a member of the Eclipse Caste. In addition, she may accept a point of Limit to activate an Abyssal Mirror of a known Solar Charm. The fact that Limit gain occurs is not known to anyone in Creation.

As a final side effect, the upper soul of the Lawgiver is delivered to Oblivion on her death, though her shard returns for reassignment; no memories of this exaltation will remain on it, however.

• Words-as-Workshop Method
• Cost: --; Mins: Craft 5, Essence 4; Type: Permanent
• Keywords: None
• Duration: Permanent
• Prerequisite Charms: Craftsman Needs No Tools

This Charm modifies its prerequisite, allowing the Solar to spend an additional 8m 1wp (total 15m 2wp) as an Obvious Shaping effect when activating Craftsman Needs No Tools to allow her to function as if she had a master's workshop stocked with any common material, removing any penalties for lack of a workshop as well as the need for iron and other mundane materials.

• Gates of Meru Invocation
• Cost: 20m, 3wp; Mins: Craft 5, Essence 5; Type: Simple (Speed 6, DV -1)
• Keywords: Combo-Basic, Obvious, Shaping
• Duration: One scene
• Prerequisite Charms: Words-as-Workshop Method

Activating this Charm causes the Solar's anima to flare iconic for the duration of the Simple action, as well as generating flickering imagery related to the iconic display in the surrounding area.

For the remainder of the scene, the Solar can roll ([minimum of Dex/Per/Int] + Craft) as a reflexive action once per tick to create a mundane object appropriate for the Craft ability rolled, of a size no larger than the Solar could hold with both hands. The difficulty of the roll is as a normal Craft action; the threshold determines the item's quality. Charms and Combos may apply to this roll as normal since it does not count as Charm use.

Created objects persist as if they were created with Wyld-Shaping Technology, fading from existence if they do not interact extensively with things of Creation.

• Spirit-Condemning Sight
• Cost: 1m; Mins: Occult 5, Essence 4; Type: Reflexive
• Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
• Duration: Indefinite
• Prerequisite Charms: Ghost-Eating Technique

This Charm permanently enhances the Solar's capabilities. She may reflexively commit 1m to gain the effects of Spirit-Detecting Glance; during this time her eyes glow with the color of her anima.

While this mote is committed, she may additionally use Spirit-Cutting Attack and Ghost-Eating Technique against Creatures of Darkness without their invocation counting as Charm use.

Finally, she may activate Ghost-Eating Technique as a reflexive action to destroy a spirit within (the Solar's Essence x 10) yards that counts as a Creature of Darkness if she can perceive its dissolution, without this activation counting as Charm use. Any spirit within (the Solar's Essence x 20) yards is aware of the effects of this Charm.

• Prerequisite Charms: Any Larceny Excellency

This Charm allows a Solar to shut down her Essence respiration, seal her mote pools, and drop her effective Essence to 1, effectively becoming a heroic mortal for as long as she desires.

The willpower cost of this Charm is not committed and the Charm stays active as long as the Solar wishes; to end this Charm, the Solar must take a Miscellaneous (Speed 5, DV -1) action.

As long as she maintains this Charm she cannot use Essence and no mundane effect can detect that she is a Solar Exalt. If a supernatural effect opposes this Charm, the Solar adds twice her Essence in successes to the contested roll.

New Abyssal Charm: ??? (Prerequisites: Any Larceny Excellency) This Charm functions identically to its mirror, except that it does not add successes to the Charm opposition contested roll. Instead it allows the Abyssal to roll her base (Essence + Larceny) to allow her to avoid being treated as a Creature of Darkness for one attack. This roll is opposed by a pool appropriate to the attack used.

• Cost: 3m; Mins: Socialize 3, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive (Step 1)
• Keywords: Combo-OK, Social, Mirror (Black Eye Shadow; follows)
• Duration: Instant
• Prerequisite Charms: Any Socialize Excellency

This Charm functions as a defense against attempts to determine the truth or motivation of one of the Exalt's statements, functioning perfectly against mundane attempts (even if backed by an Excellency) and triggering an opposed roll against charms such as Sagacious Reading of Intent. If successful, the opposing Charm reads the statement as truthful and with a motivation of the Exalt's choosing.
