The effects are based on the character’s ﬁghting style and anima. This Charm always adds the character’s Essence in damage to an Archery-based attack. In addition, players can pick one of the following effects when purchasing this Charm.<br/>Righteous Judgment Arrow: The Solar can spend a third mote on this Charm to add four extra dice of damage to the attack.  This variation has a distinctive visual effect usually related to the character’s anima. For example, if a Twilight’s anima display shows a mandala of blue and gold light, her Righteous Judgment Arrow might have streamers of blue and gold that congeal into a mandala symbol in front of the target as the arrow hits.<br/>Characters can purchase additional effects for this Charm at a cost of one experience point each or one bonus point for both.<br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">PHANTOM ARROW TECHNIQUE</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cost:—(1m per attack); Mins: Archery 3, Essence 2; Type: Permanent<br/>Keywords: Obvious<br/>Prerequisite Charms: Essence Arrow Attack<br/>The bane of the mortal archer is her dependence on ammunition, but Lawgivers can use this Charm to shape sparkling arrows of Essence. This Charm permits a Lawgiver to make ranged attacks without using ammunition. Each such attack costs one mote of Essence. The Exalt can attack as if using any form of ammunition without Resources cost, such as a broadhead, fowling, frog crotch or target arrow. This Charm permanently enhances the Exalt’s capabilities. Therefore, shaping motes into ammunition is an unrolled reﬂexive action and not a Charm activation.<br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">SUMMONING THE LOYAL BOW</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cost: 1m; Mins: Archery 3, Essence 2; Type: Simple (Speed 3)<br/>Keywords: Combo-OK, Merged, Mirror (Banished Bow Arsenal)<br/>Duration: Indeﬁnite<br/>Prerequisite Charms: Phantom Arrow Technique<br/>The Chosen may set aside their weapons for a time, but a life of peace can never be their fate. The Solar ﬁrst draws a ranged weapon that he owns and has used to inﬂict damage in battle. This Charm banishes that weapon to Elsewhere. The Solar can then draw the weapon directly from Elsewhere later, using a miscellaneous action. The Charm ends when he does so. If he cancels the Essence committed to this Charm while the weapon is Elsewhere, the weapon falls to the ground at his side.<br/>Merged: Summoning the Loyal Steel (Melee).<br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">FISTS OF IRON TECHNIQUE</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cost: 1m; Mins: Martial Arts 2, Essence 1; Type: Reflexive<br/>Keywords: Combo-OK, Enhanced<br/>Duration: One action<br/>Prerequisite Charms: None<br/>The Solar infuses her hands with the strength of her Essence and strikes like the Unconquered Sun. This Charm enhances an unarmed Martial Arts attack, improving its Accuracy by one and its Damage by two and making its damage lethal. The Solar can parry lethal hand-to-hand attacks without a stunt until his next action.<br/>Enhancement: This Charm adds the magical material benefits of orichalcum to the Solar’s natural attacks while Solar Hero Form is active.<br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">THUNDERCLAP RUSH ATTACK</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cost:  1m; Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 2;  Type:  Supplemental<br/>Keywords: Combo-OK, Martial-ready<br/>This Charm drops a supplemented attack’s Speed to 3.<br/>Martial-ready: Archery, Melee, Thrown.<br/></div></div>Craft Triumphant<br/>Investigation Triumphant<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">JUDGE’S EAR TECHNIQUE</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cost: 3m; Mins:  Investigation 2, Essence 1; Type: Reﬂexive (Step 1)<br/>Keywords:  Combo-OK<br/>Duration: One scene<br/>Prerequisite Charms: Any Investigation Excellency<br/>The Lawgivers are the guardians of truth. This Charm allows the character to recognize as lies all deliberate lies presented to her. The character can also recognize the deliberate use of half-truths, though doing so does not tell her which part of the statement is true. If another Charm contests these effects (see p. 179), add the character’s Essence in automatic successes to the (Perception + Investigation) roll to oppose the other Charm.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">SPIRIT-DETECTING GLANCE</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cost: 3m; Mins: Occult 2, Essence 2; Type: Reﬂexive (Step 1)<br/>Keywords: Combo-OK<br/>Duration: One scene<br/>Prerequisite Charms: None<br/>Spirits cannot hide from the Lawgivers. Spirits such as demons, ghosts and gods often move through the world in dematerialized form, completely hidden from all observers. This Charm lets the character see, hear, smell and feel—but not touch—dematerialized creatures. It makes dematerialized creatures within the normal range of the character’s senses valid targets for the character’s Awareness actions, including reﬂexive Awareness actions.<br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ALL-ENCOMPASSING SORCERER’S SIGHT</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cost: 6m; Mins: Occult 5, Essence 2; Type: Reﬂexive (Step 1)<br/>Keywords: None<br/>Duration: One scene<br/>Prerequisite Charms: Spirit-Detecting Glance<br/>Nothing is hidden from the Lawgivers. The character augments his vision with the ability to see patterns of Essence. This Charm allows the character to  see motes, Essence-fueled effects,<br/>power and invisible but magical creatures and effects. These things become valid targets for the character’s visual Awareness rolls, including reﬂexive visual Awareness rolls.<br/>The ability to perceive Essence patterns has the following effects: All Charms are treated as Obvious with respect to the character. Dematerialized and invisible creatures and effects are considered visible. The character recognizes all artifacts, manses and demesnes as such. The character can automatically recognize a creature with Essence 4+ as a supernatural creature. <strong>Characters using Stealth to avoid detection are not automatically revealed by their Charms, Essence trait or carried artifacts—</strong>for the same reason that colorful clothing does not automatically void mundane attempts at stealth. Instead, add the  target’s Essence in dice to any attempt by the character to pierce mundane or magical Stealth.  Similarly, this Charm does not automatically void disguises, magical disguises and similar deceptions, although circumstances might warrant a bonus to see through them.<br/>If the character makes a conscious attempt to analyze what he sees, this Charm allows an (Intelligence + Occult) roll to do so. Identifying the exact effects of an unknown Charm or spell is difﬁculty 5. Gauging the rating of a person’s Essence trait, a demesne, a manse or an artifact has difﬁculty 2.<br/></div></div>Ox-Body Technique<br/><br/>Compassion 2 Conviction 3 Temperance 2 Valor 2<br/>Essence 2 Willpower 9<br/>Personal Essence: 15<br/>Peripheral Essence: 32 (7 committed, 25 uncommitted)<br/>Limit: Heart of Flint<br/><br/>Past Lives 2<br/><br/>Exceptional Chain Shirt: +2B/+4L -
