Powers

Advantages

• First Among Equals: Solars always win ties.
• Supremacy of Ability: No cost to activate excellencies.
• Divine Resonance: Solars are resonant with all magical materials.

Anima Effects

• Joyous Pursuit (Passive): Reduce difficulty to overcome obstacles while working on a venture (p. XX) involving investigation, research, or planning by the Twilight’s Essence, to a minimum of one.
• Indefatigable Genius (Active): Add the Solar’s Essence in automatic successes to Craft and Sagacity rolls, or to rolls to build Will for spellcasting purposes.
• Summoner's Call (Iconic): Spend 5 anima. The Twilight may summon a minor elemental or first circle demon of her choice, instantly calling it to her side. It remains bound to her for the rest of the scene.

Excellencies

• Sagacity
• Embassy

Awareness Charms

• Spirit-Cutting Glance: Commit 1 mote for the scene. the Exalt can see dematerialized spirits that are present in the scene. The Exalt may attack dematerialized spirits as if materialized.
  • Uncanny Perception Technique (Solar): Whenever a spirit enters within medium range of the Exalt, she experiences a warning sensation that may prompt her to activate this Charm. Spirits using concealing magic must contest against the Exalt’s Force + Awareness.
• All-Encompassing Sorcerer’s Sight: Commit 1 mote for the scene. The Exalt perceives the presence of Essence, including dematerialized spirits and borders between worlds such as the Wyld or shadowlands as gauzy distortions. Attuned artifacts appear as though lit from within, and hearthstones burn like embers. Whenever a character uses Essence to power Charms or any other effects, these are always visible to the user as though the character had an active anima. They may make Force + Sagacity rolls to try to understand spirit magics, sorcerous workings and other strange phenomena like those produced by demesnes, the Wyld and the Underworld or to identify the use of a Charm. Such effects may have variable difficulty — typically three plus the creator’s Essence or a difficulty modified by the effect’s nature and complexity.
  • Eye of the Unconquered Sun (Solar): The Solar’s keen eyes burn with power, scouring deception from sight. The Exalt may see through illusions, magical disguises, and shapeshifting effects that conceal her enemies, adding her Essence in bonus successes to the roll to pierce the deception. Unless stated otherwise, seeing through magical deceptions is a difficulty 5 feat.

Embassy Charms

• Deft Official's Way: Spend 1 mote while navigating a bureaucracy. The Exalt chooses one of the following effects to apply to a leadership or bureaucratic venture. She chooses this when she spends the mote: 1) Once per session, make a second roll on the venture during an interval, regardless of the time scale involved. 2) Reduce the difficulty of a venture roll by one to a minimum of one. 3) Ignore the results of cutting corners once per scene.
• Vacant Station Scheme: Roll Finesse + Embassy as part of a dramatic action to create temporary laws or phantom employees in the target organization. Spend one mote to buy a point of fraudulent Backing in the organization for every margin of success. This does not gain the Sanctity of Merits.

Ranged Attack Charms

• Blazing Solar Bolt: Spend 1 mote. Make a ranged essence attack at short range using Sagacity or Ranged Combat. Treat as a heavy ranged weapons with short range and the Artifact tags. Spend 1 anima to increase range to medium. May be used to clash. Spend 1 additional mote to add two bonus successes to damage on a decisive attack.
• Dazzling Flare: Spend 1 mote on Step 5 to add a four-dice bonus to the damage of a decisive ranged attack. If the Solar’s ammunition is magically created by a Charm or artifact, also ignore one point of the enemy’s soak. At Essence 3, this bonus increases to five dice, and at Essence 5, it increases to seven dice. Every two dice that would exceed the dice limit become automatic successes. This may be used during a clash. Gain an additional Anima.
