Basic Solar Stealth charms

One Among the Shadows

  Cost:  2 motes per die
  Duration:  One scene
  Type:  Simple
  Minimum Stealth:  1
  Minimum Essence:  1
  Prerequisite Charms:  None

The character moves with the natural lines of obfuscation, moving quietly from shadow to shadow and never quite stepping out into sight when someone is turned to watch. He reflexively avoids loose boards without looking or knowing they are there, and slips casually past even alert guards. For the duration of the scene, the Solar Exalted adds one die to every Stealth roll for every two motes spent on the activation of this charm. You cannot more than double your Attribute + Stealth roll when using this charm, and must move at a slightly slower pace than normal.

Empty Room Prana

  Cost:  4 motes
  Duration:  Instant
  Type:  Reflexive
  Minimum Stealth:  3
  Minimum Essence:  2
  Prerequisite Charms:  One Among the Shadows

The Solar Exalt using this charm can effortlessly find and exploit a hiding place with ease, given even a fleeting moment unobserved. It doesn't matter if your searching through the Imperial Manse when you hear footsteps approaching or if you're rifling through the desk of the Perfect when he fumbles at the door, you will be out of sight and well-hidden by the time any observer comes into sight. After spend 4 motes and activating this charm reflexively, you can make a Wits + Stealth roll with a number of automatic successes equal to your Essence rating. No penalities are applied to this roll, and the Solar gains the full benefits of this roll even if he only has a split second in which to hide himself.

The hiding space might be one naturally occuring, or just a magically-enhanced shadowy corner of a bare room. It takes no time to hide yourself in this manner, though you must be unobserved for the split moment it takes for you to use this charm, with no one in the immediate area or at the very least some kind of distraction to pull their attention actively away from you. You can use this charm, for instance, to hide yourself after throwing a flash-bang and thus seem to disappear. You can remain hidden as long as you wish.
