  • Virtuous Guardian of the Flame
  • Cost: 5 Will
  • Duration: One Day
  • The sorcerer draws a flickering sword of lightning from her own heart, shaping a blazing sentinel to keep vigil over her. As she completes the spell, the blade collapses into a will-o’-the-wisp no larger than a torchlight — the sorcerer may conceal the Virtuous Guardian of Flame by commanding it to rest within an existing lit lantern or torch she carries. Should she be attacked, the wisp flares back into sword shape to fend off her enemy, protecting her as per the defend other action (Exalted Essence, p. 126) with a Parry of ([higher of Essence or Sagacity] + 1). The virtuous guardian can even notice threats of which the sorcerer is unaware, rolling (Essence + Attribute + Sagacity) to detect hidden enemies. Wooden projectiles or weapons successfully blocked by the guardian are burnt to ashes. If it parries an unarmed attack or other natural attack, the attacker suffers one die of lethal damage, ignoring Hardness. Even when its parries fail, its energy blunts the force of attacks against the sorcerer, adding (Essence) natural soak against all but unblockable attacks. The guardian has soak (Essence + 5), Hardness (Essence), and (Essence + Sagacity) −0 health levels. It cannot take any actions of its own. If the guardian is crashed, it dissipates for a scene, unable to protect the sorcerer, but reforms after that. If its health track is filled with damage, it’s utterly destroyed, and the sorcerer cannot resummon it until its full duration has elapsed.

The whirlwind can carry up to (Essence x 2) additional characters, or one hundred pounds of cargo in place of a single passenger. While it cannot soar as high as the Cirrus Skiff, the Stormwind Rider can travel at nearly 100 miles an hour and maneuver through forests or cities. In a race with other characters, the sorcerer rolls (Attribute + Sagacity + Essence) for each interval. In combat, characters within the Stormwind Rider are treated as having light cover against attacks made from outside of it, and vice versa.
