Well, the issue I have is that I don't want to have the whole party realigning their Aspects for every single task - have the whole party shift over to Fire Aspect for combat, or Air or Water Aspect for solving puzzles, that sort of thing.  If Dragon-Bloods can get around the elemental mote surcharge limitation, then they're basically Celestial Exalted with a smaller Essence pool (in my head, anyway).<br/><br/>But, the Charms that alter elemental aspect at high essence are still around, yes.  Granted, you'd need an Essence rating of 5 or 6, maybe higher (Dragon-Bloods, by and large, don't get to be Essence 4+ unless they've lived a hundred years or so).
