The Elder Sutra of Essence: The last maiden�s name was TAO. These were their names, but they knew them not.
As she assumes this Form, the character vanishes into
the flows of Essence around her. For a long moment, she is
nowhere and everywhere, embodied in the dance of all
things. Then, she manifests again, in every movement
consummately aware of everything around her, reacting to
intentions before they are formed, actions before they are
taken and to the battle as a whole as easily as to a
single blow.
This Charm doubles the character�s base initiative
(Dexterity + Wits). Charms such as Opportune Shot and
Thunderclap Rush Attack do not automatically win
initiative over her. The Exalt is aware of every attack
against her and is immune to sensory penalties � this is a
perfect effect. She can sense every effect, object and
creature within (her Essence x 10) yards. Noticing
something hidden requires a reflexive Perception +
Awareness roll, adding the Sidereal�s Essence in automatic
successes.
While using the Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Form,
the character can also invoke any or all of its subsidiary
Forms, paying the normal Essence cost. As long as the
Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Form is active, the Four
Magical Materials Form, Soul Fire Shaper Form, Games of
Divinity Form and Demesne and Manse Form can coexist with
it and with one another. The character can also invoke
other Form-type Charms, but this limits her to a total of
two other Forms. For example, she could invoke Prismatic
Arrangement of Creation Form followed by either Earth
Dragon Form and Games of Divinity Form, Tiger Form and
Ebon Shadow Form or Snake Form and Charcoal March of
Spiders Form. The Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Form
is transcendent and embraces other Forms as lesser parts
of itself.
While this Form is active, the character may have access
to unexpected weaponry. Any weapon treated as an unarmed
attack by a style whose Form-type Charm she has active is
treated as an unarmed attack for the purpose of all
Martial Arts Charms. This is a specific benefit of the
Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Form and not a general
rule. For example, Tiger Form allows the use of tiger
claws as unarmed attacks. If she has both Prismatic
Arrangement of Creation Form and Tiger Form active, the
Sidereal can use tiger claws to inflict the Water Spider
Bite � whether or not she also has Charcoal March of
Spiders Form active. This effect does not extend to armor.
The Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Form is complete and
perfect in every respect, but to perform it correctly
requires a deep understanding of the other styles that it
subsumes. Sidereal masters estimate that a complete
understanding of roughly 40 styles would allow an
essentially accurate adoption of this Form, possibly
increasing the power of this Charm.
I have no idea what the Elder Sutra of Essence bit is about, but I find myself not really caring...
