Powers

Advantages

• Living Artifact: The Alchemical is a carefully created machine, perhaps closer to an artifact than a living being. She may hold an artifact to take one of its Evocations as her own Charm. If the Evocation has any prerequisites, she must meet those. Once installed, the Alchemical can use the Evocation as if it were an innate Charm, without access to the artifact itself. The Alchemical can only have one such Evocation-Charm at a time, but may switch between existing ones during a reconfiguration. Alchemicals may learn Evocations from their own Artifacts with Exalt Milestones; these are represented as certain technological aesthetics applied to the artifact itself, such as a daiklave developing embedded circuitry.
• Community Spirit: The Alchemical has a deep need to find a community that will accept her as their own, and to whose purpose she may lend her strength. This doesn’t mean she’s fixed in place, as her chosen community may range far such as “orphaned children” or “oppressed laborers.” Their believe in her as a guardian, and once she’s found them, this awakens a power deep inside her. Design this as a custom effect based around the Exalt’s purpose, one that should be tied to her community. Examples include: 1. Increase Resolve by one when someone targets an Intimacy towards her community. 2. Increase Defense by two when using Defend Other on a community member. 3. Add a three-dice bonus to attacks when fighting for the community. Whatever it is, it grants a small but meaningful effect. Refer to Bonuses and Penalties in the book.
• Resonance: Resonate with Orachalcum.

Anima Effects

• Radiant Gold (Passive): The Orichalcum can persuade a neutral battle group into accepting her as their leader without a roll. If they already have a leader, the player makes a social influence against difficulty 5. She gains her Essence in automatic successes to attempts to persuade non-trivial targets to follow her lead.
• Righteous Scorn** (Active): The Alchemical reduces enemy soak by her half her Essence, round up, on Step 7 when she targets them with an attack.
• Golden Leader** (Iconic): Mortal troops under the Orichalcum’s command gain elite drill, and +1 size for the rest of the scene. The Exalt adds her Essence in dice to rout checks.
