Back to Solar Charms or Night Caste
Aura-Reshaping Meditation
Cost: 3 motes Duration: One day Type: Simple Minimum Stealth: 2 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: None
Engaging in a deep meditation, the Solar obscures the truth of his soul with magic, sculpting and shaping his anima into a form other than its own. This process requires approximately one hour, and causes the characters anima to flare as if he had spent 8 points of Peripheral Essence. Over the course of fifteen minutes, the characters anima shifts and alters itself, eventually reshaping itself according to his will. The Solar can change his castemark to that of any other Solar Caste, and reshape his totemic anima according to his will. Precisely mimicing the totemic anima of another Solar requires a single success on a Perception + Stealth roll. This charm lasts for 24 hours, though once the duration lapses the character may reflexively spend three motes to keep the disguise up another day without reactivating the charm.
Anima Snuffing Prana
Cost: 1 health level per anima level Duration: Instant Type: Simple Minimum Stealth: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Invisible Statue Spirit
It can often become necessary to unleash the full fury of ones power in situations where one perhaps should be more subtle. A Solar with this charm does not have to wait for his anima to dim naturally, but can instead contain the roaring power of his display within himself. Though the solar fire burns him and often causes nosebleeds and headaches, this charm does allow him to snuff his anima nearly instantly. For every health level of damage that the character takes while activating this charm allows his anima to fade one level. This charm cannot reduce a characters anima below the glittering castemark level, regardless of how much damage the character takes, so head coverings of some sort are often necessary. This damage is bashing, but must be healed naturally.
Hiding the Lambent Flame
Cost: 3 willpower Duration: One turn Type: Reflexive Minimum Stealth: 5 Minimum Essence: 4 Prerequisite Charms: Anima Snuffing Prana, Aura-Reshaping Meditation
Sometimes its not enough to be able to very quickly conceal the power of ones soul; it's vital that the characters true nature is never revealed in the first place. This charm allows the Solar to hide the greater amount of his power, restricting even the greatest expressions of power such that they only cause his castemark to glitter lightly upon his brow as if he'd spent a single mote of Peripheral Essence. Even then, this display fades after the end of the turn leaving no sign of the magic the character has just used. This charm does not count as a charm use for the turn and allows the character to use another charm or a combo as he wishes.
When used by those of the Night Caste, this charm is even more powerful, able to hide all signs of magic. Normally visible charm effects are hidden, though they have all the normal effects if appropriate. Even combos can be hidden with the power of this charm, displaying no sign that any magic at all has been used, and once the Night Caste reaches Essence 6 he can even conceal the raw power of Sorcery.
