Prerequisite
Charms: None
This Charm takes the form of an adamant
ring implanted around an Alchemical’s soulgem, inscribed with hundreds of stylized Old Realm
glyphs evenly spaced around the circumference. When activated by an expenditure
of 1Willpower point, the crystal rapidly spins in its socket, and a unique
series of runes begin to light up. At this point, the character may spend the
required Essence to initiate a single Man-Machine protocol of Alchemical
weaving that she has learned. As the ring spins ever faster in the seconds it
takes to shape the Essence (exactly as with Emerald Circle Sorcery), incandescent
sparks jump from the Charm into the soulgem. When the protocol activates, the soulgem
flashes with a brilliant display of power, and the magic takes effect. Once
an Alchemical installs this Charm, she gains 1 dot of permanent Clarity.
Furthermore, she cannot ever remove the Man-Machine Weaving Engine and can
never include this Charm as part of an Array.

Prerequisite
Charms: Auxiliary Essence
Storage Unit, Man-Machine Weaving Engine
This Charm fits as a larger adamant ring
concentrically surrounding the Man-Machine Weaving Engine, similarly marked
with glyphs. When activated by an expenditure of 2 Willpower points, both
crystal rings begin turning in opposite directions, with a brilliant storm of sparks
jumping between them and arcing into the Exalt’s soulgem. The Alchemical must designate a single God-Machine
protocol of Alchemical weaving he knows and wishes to initiate, spending the
Essence cost for that effect. After two turns of shaping the Essence (exactly
as with Sapphire Circle Sorcery), the protocol takes effect with a bright
display of Essence rivaling the noonday sun.
Once an Alchemical installs this Charm,
she gains 1 dot of permanent Clarity. Furthermore, she cannot ever remove the
God-Machine Weaving Engine and can never include this Charm as part of an
Array.
