Sorcery Charms
Terrestrial Circle Sorcery
Cost: 1
Willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Intelligence: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: None
Terrestrial sorcery is the
simplest magic wielded by the Lunar, and the No Moons will initiate members of
any caste as sorcerers provided an Exalt show the appropriate intelligence and
aptitude. Note that invoking this Charm only enables the character to cast a
single Terrestrial Circle Sorcery spell. The actual spell itself has an Essence
cost, often very high, that the character must pay to actualize the spell. This
cost is listed in the spell’s description. Terrestrial Circle Sorcery can never
be part of a Combo.
Form-Fixing Method
Cost: 5 motes, 1
Willpower, 3 experience points
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Intelligence: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: None
Knowledge of this Charm allows a
Lunar to tattoo a newly Exalted Lunar, fixing his caste and allowing him to
resist the physical (but not mental) warping properties of the Wyld. The Lunar
can fix the newly tattooed Exalt’s caste as whichever he chooses, but the tests
of initiation are used to determine the Lunar’s caste. The experience points spent
are gone forever. This Charm is generally practiced only by Lunars of the No
Moon Caste, but other Lunars know it. However, it is considered inappropriate
for Lunars of castes other than No Moon to tattoo young Lunars. The use of this
Charm requires a ceremony of several hours, where occult instruments are used
to draw the moonsilver tattoos into the Lunar’s skin.
Tattoo-Cutting Wisdom
Cost: 3 motes, 1
Willpower, 1 experience point
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Intelligence: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Form-Fixing
Method
Using this Charm, a Lunar can
engrave or otherwise mark an item so that it is immune to the chaotic effects
of the Wyld, an untamed Demesne or another source of shapechanging.
Moonsilver-Shaping Rite
Cost: Special
Duration: Indefinite
Type: Simple
Minimum Intelligence: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms:
Tattoo-Cutting Wisdom
Though others may attempt to
forge moonsilver, only a Lunar Exalted has the knowledge and spiritual
connection to the Magical Material to shape it effectively. Enacting this Charm
forges a bond between the Lunar and the moonsilver being worked. Moonsilver is
essentially impossible to work without the use of this Charm, and the technique
is a jealously guarded secret of the Lunars. This bond must be maintained
― and the Essence committed ― for the duration of the item-crafting
effort, even when the object is not in the Lunar’s immediate presence. Failing to maintain the Charm results in the immediate failure of
the creation effort, though the moonsilver can be reused in a later project.
The Essence cost of the Charm is twice the rating of the artifact the Lunar
seeks to create. This is in addition to the basic Essence cost for creating the
item.
Celestial Circle Sorcery
Cost: 2
Willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Intelligence: 4
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms:
Celestial sorcery is much harder
to learn and master than Terrestrial magics, and its practice among the Lunar
Exalted is restricted to members of the No Moon Caste, who must undergo a
rigorous (and often deadly) training regime before they are entrusted with its
secrets. Note that invoking this Charm only enables the character to cast a
single Celestial Circle Sorcery spell. The actual spell itself has an Essence
cost, often very high, that the character must pay to actualize the spell. This
cost is listed in the spell’s description. Celestial Circle Sorcery can never
be part of a Combo.
