Kraken: /* Post-conversion */ Added example

(pre-conversion discussion at [[Xyphoid/MediawikiConversionHistory]])

== Post-conversion ==

Just fyi (again) the links under nikink/characters are broken since the media wiki thinks they should translate to nikink/characters/charactername but the pages are actually on nikink/charactername. Minor, but could catch the unwary. [[nikink]] - also, spam! Already!?!? Making logins active will have to be a priority I guess. :(
: Can you create an account? I'm going to add the recaptcha spam filter first up [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]] 03:50, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
:: This has been added - you now require a captcha to add an extenral link, or register an account. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
: Nope - php errors when attempting to create an account. And darn it, so many of my pages are borked! Maybe I was creating them wrong in the first place? Hm. Ah well. [[nikink]] Also, running slow. Is that something to get used to with this version of software+hardware? Just curious. 
: Yep, account is now created. Adding the captcha fixed it. :) [[nikink]]
:: php errors were probably mid-captcha-installation. Speed, we'll see how it goes - there's more going on now, and this is on shared hosting now instead of having an entire server to itself. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]

I will have a look at bulk conversion of the /characters/charactername issue, whoops. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
: Sweet, it'd be great if that could be automated - my campaign pages have the same issue, and there's a LOT of links from them! Thanks for looking into it! :) [[nikink]] PS: and should we move our previous userpages to our new User:Name pages? Or just leave them as relics? Can they be redirected?
:: There may be a delay until the 22nd or so with this since I'm on holiday shortly, but I'll have a shot. You can redirect a page by putting <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[somelink]]</nowiki> as the only content - so you could redirect in either direction as you prefer. As there's no way of telling what's a userpage unless people actually create accounts, and there are so many historical userpages, I won't be automatically moving them. The main advantage to moving to the User:xx version is that you can take advantage of the autolinks from recent changes, and from typing 3 tildes in an edit. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
::I will have to keep playing with it. All very new and unfamiliar. :) I've notice tables are all broken, I suppose that's a minor detail; just need to learn to table in mediawiki. The list of orphaned pages is quite helpful in the meantime while you work on the scripted fix for the incorrect links. :) [[nikink]]

Whoa! Scared the daylights out of me when I went to edit my userpage, open from a while ago, and it was no longer there! Stuff looks absolutely great; I noticed that some of the charm formatting gets broken by the changeover. Is there a new text formatting or help page set up for what we should or should not do with the new system as opposed to the old? Man, and I was terrified enough trying to think of a way to edit and duplicate my stuff for the WW wiki; oh well, gives me a chance to go through and double check mechanics -- [[IsawaBrian]]
:There is an editing help button at the bottom of the mediawiki edit page. As for how to use it I think that's going to be an evolutionary process - I am way out of date as to how y'all are using this wiki, I've been mostly playing D&D4 for the last few years... [[Xyphoid]]

So apologies for the quick changeover - I'm going to be at my wedding from Friday and away for a few weeks, and the server was going to probably be down during some of that time. I'll be seeing what I can get fixed before I leave, and then will catch up when I'm back. [[Xyphoid]]

Congrats on your wedding! When you get back, it would be helpful if you could make it so subpages contain backlinks to the parent page in the Main namespace, like they do in the user Namespace - [[User:Kraken|Kraken]]
:The issue is that subpages don't actually exist in mediawiki - they're just pages with slashes in their name. I'll have a poke at writing an extension to automatically create parent links. Should it go all the way to the top? (eg should the page <nowiki>[[Red/Blue/Green]]</nowiki> link back to <nowiki>[[Red]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Red/Blue]]</nowiki>? [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
:: Could you do both? <nowiki>[[Red/Blue/Green]]</nowiki> links back to <nowiki>[[Red]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Red/Blue]]</nowiki>, while <nowiki>[[Red/Blue]]</nowiki> links back to <nowiki>[[Red]]</nowiki>? I guess that depends on how many /'s can exist in one path. I haven't yet seen more than two, but I don't know definitively. [[nikink]]
::: The reason I brought it up is [[User:Kraken/SwiftFalcon/BP|this page]]. For User subpages, it seems to do so already. So something which did the breadcrumbs style thing for any page would be great. And the code should be there. Somewhere. [[User:Kraken|Kraken]]

== Links needing fixing ==

Please list types of links that need to be fixed by scripting, along with an example page.

* <nowiki>[[[FrivYeti/SteelAndGlass/SaGHistory1]] | The First Age; From the Fall of the Primordials to the Great Contagion.]]</nowiki> - non-subpage links with descriptions, see [[FrivYeti/SteelAndGlass]]

* <nowiki>[[Nikink/Characters/MettanAku]]</nowiki> - <nowiki>[[/MettanAku]]</nowiki> links on [[Nikink/Characters]], it appears /xxx should always link to the top level page even on zzz/yyy

== Other requests ==

* Automatic backlinks from child pages (anything of the name xxx/xxx) to the parent page

Xyphoid/MediawikiConversion

2010-04-06T09:16:47Z

Kraken: /* Comments */ added note about subpage backlinks

So, hosting usemod is becoming harder and harder. I'm trying out the mediawiki site conversion tools, as it would be much easier to host that way. Comments? Feedback? - [[Xyphoid]]

=== Comments ===
What makes it harder? I use both this wiki and [[MediaWiki]] pretty extensively, and I must say that this place seems snappier and cleaner, at least. Plus, there's the advantage of not having to re-write a bunch of the sections to fit the different syntax. At the same time, it's your server and time and money. Is it security updates, or some such? I would've guessed that this place didn't need much work anymore... -- [[GreenLantern]]

The server it's currently running on will be retired in the near future, so I have to do some work in either case. I have a couple of choices - one is find another place to run usemod, the other is migrate to something else. Usemod is a perl CGI script writing to disk - this is pretty much unique among the stuff we have, and it doesn't suit our load-balancing and configuration. Mediawiki is php+mysql, which is what our main cluster is designed for. Basically I can keep mediawiki with the rest of my hosted content, but soon I won't have a good place for usemod.

Another option is that if someone else has a good place to host usemod wikis, I can pass it over to them.

I ran a test of the conversion and it appears promising at first glance - http://exalted-new.xi.co.nz/exwiki/index.php/WelcomeToExaltedWiki - note that any changes made to that copy will be lost for now as there were some errors reading pages starting with M. There are some obvious layout errors to work out, I'd be interested to hear about any conversion issues with particular pages that people spot (broken links, broken wiki formatting conversion) -- [[Xyphoid]]

I've just checked out my userpage as a first step, and first thing to notice is that any link on my userpage that starts with / is broken. It seems the pages actually exist if I type into the url bar, "http://exalted-new.xi.co.nz/exwiki/index.php/Nikink/TrialByFireNotes" but the mediawiki obviously doesn't recognise the '/' format. I'm surprised the conversion worked so well actually, well done! :) [[nikink]]
:I also observed this phenomenon. A simple solution is to enter the name of the page you are slash-linking off of in front of the dash, e.g. <nowiki>[[Nikink/TrialByFireNotes]]</nowiki> as opposed to just <nowiki[[Xyphoid/MediawikiConversion/TrialByFireNotes]]</nowiki>. So it's just another layout problem that might need to be fixed by hand. - [[Han'ya]]
::I am going to have a shot at modifying the export/import tool to fix these up - it's not really practical to fix all of these by hand. [[Xyphoid]]

As there's no way of telling what's a userpage unless people actually create accounts, and there are so many historical userpages, I won't be automatically moving them.

::I will have to keep playing with it. All very new and unfamiliar. :) I've notice tables are all broken, I suppose that's a minor detail; just need to learn to table in mediawiki.

Whoa! Scared the daylights out of me when I went to edit my userpage, open from a while ago, and it was no longer there! Stuff looks absolutely great; I noticed that some of the charm formatting gets broken by the changeover. Is there a new text formatting or help page set up for what we should or should not do with the new system as opposed to the old? Man, and I was terrified enough trying to think of a way to edit and duplicate my stuff for the WW wiki; oh well, gives me a chance to go through and double check mechanics -- [[IsawaBrian]]
:There is an editing help button at the bottom of the mediawiki edit page. As for how to use it I think that's going to be an evolutionary process - I am way out of date as to how y'all are using this wiki, I've been mostly playing D&D4 for the last few years... [[Special:Contributions/202.154.148.254|202.154.148.254]]

So apologies for the quick changeover - I'm going to be at my wedding from Friday and away for a few weeks, and the server was going to probably be down during some of that time. I'll be seeing what I can get fixed before I leave, and then will catch up when I'm back. [[Special:Contributions/202.154.148.254|202.154.148.254]]

Kraken: speeling corrections

*Back to [[Kraken]]

== Emerald Circle ==

==== Lantern of Scintillating Spirits ====
'''Cost:''' 15m

The sorcerer holds out his hands and begins to cast the spell. As he
finishes his casting, he claps his hands together, and there appears
before him an indistinct golden form, which holds a brass lantern on
the end of a short stick. The lantern is elaborately decorated with a
design unique to each sorcerer, reflecting something of his self
image. The flame that burns within the lantern is always coloured in
hues that reflect the dominant colours of the Sorceror's anima.

The light from the lantern illuminates dematerialised spirits of all
kinds within the Caster's Essence+Occult yards from the lantern,
showing them as a indistinct golden form - visible enough to fight
without difficulty, though harder to identify. In addition, the light
from the lantern has a strange, euphoric effect on the spirits of
Creation. Unless the spirit succeeds at a Willpower roll, difficulty
of the Caster's Essence this effect overwhelms them somewhat,
inflicting a 2 dice penalty on all tasks requiring concentration or
reasoned thought.

The servant remains within the Caster's Occult in yards of the Caster,
or designated master. While it obeys instructions in Old Realm, it
rarely needs them as it does it's best to remain in an unobtrusive,
but still useful position. If attacked, it is immune to all attacks
that cannot kill gods and those that can destroy it utterly leaving
just the lantern lying on the ground. If someone not its master
attempts to take the lantern, it resists with the caster's Occult in
dice and if it is bereft of its lantern at the end of a scene, it
vanishes. Anyone using an alternate method of spirit sight upon it
finds that the spirit's true form is the indistinct golden haze.
Lantern and spirit both fade into golden mist at the next time the sun
rises or sets

==== Loyal Protector's Regalia ====
'''Cost:''' 25m

Being a sorcerer is a dangerous task, few would argue with that. But
being responsible for the safety of a sorcerer, to guard them as they
consort with demons, fair folk and other, stranger beings is no less
dangerous. Many sorcerers, of course, select demons or elementals as
their guards but for some that is simply not practical. Demonic
soldiers are rarely suitable escorts for a visit to court and even
elementals only add to the distrust a sorcerer already suffers from.
But those of mortal stock needs arms and equipment ... and it's better
of course, if they match.

To cast this spell, the sorcerer first marks out a circle a few metres
across with sigils for protection, loyalty rewarded and creation. If
he desires at this stage he should also set out ingots of precious
metal and bolts of fine cloth - while the spell can incorporate them
if they are present, conjuring such luxury is beyond the Emerald
Circle. At dawn, he should call his chosen protectors to him, no more
than his Occult score, and they stand naked at designated points on
the circle, arms outstretched. The sorcerer himself stands at the
centre of the circle and works his magic for six hours.

As the sun reaches his zenith, there is a blinding flash of light from
the sorcerer, and his protectors find themselves clad in armour and
with a weapon and shield at their sides. The armour is a suit of
Exceptional Lamellar armour, with the caster's personal device over
the heart. The weapon is most typically an Exceptional Straight Sword
with the caster's personal device on the pommel. The shield is a
Target Shield, and again, bears the caster's device. If gold or other
luxurious materials were present in the circle, these will be
incorporated into the design as trim or a fine cloak - if not, the
magic does its best with lacquer and cotton. The items created by this
spell are set in the instant of its completion - no different from any
other item, though with a lack of tool marks. This means that
countermagic will have no effect, though also that they require
maintenance as any other armour or weapon might.

==== Myriad Tongue Appropriation ====
'''Cost:''' 10m

To cast this spell requires a willing participant or a target that is
restrained or very recently dead. At the conclusion of the spell, a
gem must be pressed to the target's throat. The target's voice is
sucked into the spell, where it is visible as a faint, twisting sliver
of light that looks particularly beautiful when used with precious
gemstones. The target looses the use of their voice for a complete
cycle of the sun if exalted, or five cycles if mortal. By swallowing
the gem produced by the spell, a person may speak with the captured
voice for a week.

==== Terrible Crystalline Razor ====
'''Cost:''' 15m

The caster holds her weapon in front of herself and calls on the
ultimate cold of the furthest North. As she completes the spell, a
whirlwind of ice spirals down from the sky, coating her weapon in a
sheath of ice that glistens in the sun. The surface of the ice is
wickedly barbed and cruel, refracting the light in odd ways, and is
cold enough to cause breath to steam if blown across it. This magical
ice lasts until the sun next crosses the horizon even in the heat of
the South before melting off the weapon, even in a blizzard.

While the weapon is wrapped in the ice it is impossible the sheath in
a normal sheath and will cause numbness if the blade or head is held.
The caster adds her Essence to the raw damage of every attack that she
makes with the weapon. In addition, any injury with the weapon causes
a numbing cold to spread outward from the wound, slowing the enemy and
causing him to loose a dice from all actions for the rest of the
scene. These penalties do accrue with successive hits, but only up to a
maximum penalty of the caster's essence.

== Sapphire Circle ==

==== Scale In Her Eyes ====
'''Cost:''' 30m

The air must be clear and the stars shining to cast this spell.

The caster gathers a scale of her most devoted troops and anoints
their forehead and palms with oil she has blessed. The troops then
spar with each other, while the sorcerer performs a ritual, burning a
small sacrifice to each of the five Maidens. The ritual takes five
hours - one for each maiden - beginning with Venus and ending, of
course, with Saturn. As each ritual is completed, the oil on the
soldier's foreheads and palms flashes with the colour of the maiden.
At the conclusion of the ritual, a scant few seconds after the
sacrifice to Saturn, the oils pulse through each of the five colours
and then turn white and spread over the surface of the skin, and when
they have covered the entire body there is a brilliant flash. When
those present can see again, they find themselves clad in amour and
with weapons in their hands.

The weapon and armour created are of Perfect quality, and are
typically a suit of Lamellar and a straight sword, though if any of
the chosen scale are Martial Artists, then they will instead find
themselves with arms compatible with the style they practice, even if
that means they are wearing merely a gi. In addition to its consummate
quality, the equipment is blessed by the five maidens. Journey's
Blessing grants a die to Survival rolls for travelling at speed, and
in addition tassels and cords will not get snagged on passing
undergrowth. Serenity's Blessing eases the hurts of the wearer,
allowing them to ignore wound penalties for a scene, if they commit a
wp point. Mars' Blessing adds 2 to the soak values of the armour,
granting a soak if it merely a gi and acts to protect the armour from
damage, at least a little. Secret's Blessing negates a die of
penalties for sneaking in armour, or adds a die if there is no
penalty. Ending's Blessing adds 2 to the damage of the weapon, though
only against those Outside of Fate or who have committed crimes against
Heaven.

While the equipment created is real, the blessings fade after
Calibration and may be dispelled with Sapphire Countermagic

== Adamant Circle ==

==== Raiment Of Sol Invictus ====
'''Cost:''' 60m

While her troops parade around of her, the sorcerer sings a
battle-hymn to the Unconquered Sun, calling on him, luna and the five
maidens to watch over and protect the troops she has gathered before
her. This process begins at dawn, and continues throughout the day.
While it must started with clear skies, the magic will keep the sky
clear thereafter, at least from natural storms and weather magics of
the Terrestrial Circle. At dusk, assuming the sky has been kept clear
and the troops have been marching all day, the spell ends with a final
glorious flame from the sun that pours over the assembled troops,
burning away their existing garments and replacing them with the
Raiment of Sol Invictus.

This spell effects 1000 troops per dot of the sorcerer's Essence and
they must actually be an army with a Drill of at least 2 (Equivalent
in training to a good militia), though this training does not have to
be natural - Conscription through a Charm or Spell is just as valid,
so long as it lasts the duration of the ritual.

As the twilight dies away, each man and woman in the army finds
themselves equipped beyond compare, their clothing and equipment of
before now gone - though items made of the MMs are unharmed. The
troops will be equipped according to their role in the army assembled -
if the sorcerer is not the general, then she should be present, to
direct the drill appropriately. This extends to things such as unit
leaders gaining appropriately ornate helms, relays receiving banners -
the army could be marched off to war the very next day. A rank and
file trooper finds himself clad in gleaming plate, the general's
device over his heart and his unit insignia engraved on his back. In
his hand he carries a blade perfectly balanced for him, and on his
other arm, a sturdy shield is strapped, bearing the device of the
nation for which he fights. All of this equipment is Perfect and more
than that, it is wrapped with a little of the magic. It will rarely
become uncomfortable, except in the deepest South, the blade will be
nigh unbreakable, at least to any stresses it's wielder is likely to
put it through. Each finds a talisman around their neck, protecting
them from many foes beyond Creation that Solars call on their troops
to fight. The ST may determine how these blessings affect the army's
marching speed and effectiveness in battle, but the overall impact
should be significant. Archers, cavalrymen, skirmishers - they too
will find equipment suited to their roles. In addition, a basic
baggage train will be formed, or at least the material components of
it, lacking people. No Solar requires his army to march without the
basic supplies that they need.

While the equipment created will endure as long as it can, the more
mystical enchantments fade after a Season, or if the army finds itself
targeted by Adamant Countermagic - though backlash of such a spell is
unlikely to be too severe.

GoldenCat/Astrological Animas

2010-04-06T08:26:15Z

Kraken: Moved comments to talk page

= Astrological Animas =

In [http://www.stryck.com/SolInvictusLG.pdf Sol Invictus], Solars posses three Anima Powers, [[GoldenCat/AbyssalAnimas|as do Abyssals]]. They are the greatest of the Exalted, with access to all three circles of raw power, and their animas reflect that. In turn, the Celestial Exalted possesses two Anima Powers each! For the Sidereal Exalted, those powers are ''Maiden’s Mark'', the ability to make their Maiden’s Lesser Sign, present in ''Exalted: The Sidereals'', and ''Astrological Ascendancy''.

Sidereals are all born under the auspices of their Maiden. They have a deep connection to her House, from which they derive their identity and power. But one constellation shines brighter on their horoscopes than any other. That is their birth-sign, the constellation ascendant on their House. A Sidereal player chooses one at character creation, and receives the Anima power specific to it. To access their ''Astrological Ascendancy'' Anima Power, a Sidereal must have at least one dot in its College, and wear at least one of its ''Trappings''. As long as those two requirements are met, the Sidereal is able to use the Anima Power like any other.

Those powers can also be accessed as a Resplendent Destiny ability of a constellation - such powers can only be used when one has five dots on the College and cost is 3 Effect Points and one Paradox Die (above and beyond the cost of the powers themselves) to use - as it is a strain to use this power when one has not been born into it.

== Ascendant Constellations ==

=== The Golden Barque of Heavens ===

* ''The Captain: Star-Bound Discipline'' Spending 5 motes and touching his vessel, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Captain commands perfection in action with the sheer force of his charisma! For the remainder of the Scene, add a number of successes equal to the Sidereal's Essence to any Sail rolls (and Sail-related rolls such as hull repair or movement within the ship) made by the Chosen or any of his allies within (Sidereal's Essence x10) yards. The effect of this anima dissipates if the a recipient moves out of the range of the Exalt employing it.
* ''The Gull: Joyous Freedom'' Spending 5 motes and holding yellow stardust in their palms and scattering them about them in movements that echo wings, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Gull creates spectral wings of stardust and takes to the air! For the remainder of the scene he gains the ability to fly with his normal movement speed in any direction. Flight with the Gull's wings is a valid movement type for all Sidereal Charms that require the Chosen to be walking or running.
* ''The Mast: Juggernaut's Might'' Spending 5 motes and pulling up his sleeves the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Mast becomes a silent and unflinching juggernaut! This power grants the Sidereal a number of temporary -0 Health Levels equal to his Essence score for the remainder of the Scene - those 'phantom' Health Levels cannot be consumed for Charms but ''can'' be consumed to enhance the Juggernaut's strength! Consuming a Health Level in this way increases his Strength score by an ammount equal to the Harbinger's Conviction for a single action as the juggernaut bleeds to achieve its objective! When lost the Health Levels fade into nothingness and do not heal. The Sidereal cannot communicate verbally while one of those phantom Health Levels remain.
* ''The Messenger: Workman's Epic'' Spending 5 motes and adopting the stance of the daring courier the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Messenger realises that although his part will be ignored in man's history, heaven favors his courage! For the remainder of the Scene the Sidereal doubles his mote or Willpower reward received from any stunt which furthers a professional contract or an employer's wishes rather than the Exalt's own personal glory.
* ''The Ship's Wheel: Steering the Stars'' Spending 5 motes and spinning the wheel of fate the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Ship's Wheel steers the simplest course to his objective! Activating this Anima halves the time it would take for a Sidereal and his companions to get to their destination and places them on the safest of all possible routes - no matter how secret it might be or ludicrous it might appear at first glance the Exalt ''knows'' it is the safest of routes. This avoids any hazards and ambushes if at all possible. The Sidereal rolls one Paradox die when activating this ability.

=== The Cerulean Lute of Harmony ===

*''The Ewer: In the name of Love'' Spending 5 motes and shedding an azure-freckled tear for the wonder of love, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Ewer may make sure that Love is triumphant! This power turns a single action made in the name of romantic love by the Sidereal or any being he is able to perceive into an epic wrought in the stars and fated to triumph - the action becomes a Perfect Success (all dice come up successes). The Sidereal rolls one Paradox die when activating this ability.
*''The Lovers: Azure Leash'' Spending 5 motes and holding to an invisible leash of stardust the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Lovers may act in any way he wishes upon another being whose Permanent Essence is less than his own, and with the prerrogative of the Lovers, this other will never speak of of it save with the Sidereal's express permission. The Sidereal is considered to be acting upon the other even if she has only witnessed acts performed by the Chosen without being its target.
*''The Musician: The Neverending Celebration'' Spending 5 motes and starting their song and dance the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Musician can instill all around into a celebration to endless excess! As long as the Chosen mantains his performance all those he chooses within (Sidereal's Essence x10) yards of him must spend at least one dice action each turn performing with the Joybringer, and take multiple actions in order to do anything else (this effect explicitly allows characters to co-opt actions in Extra Actions combos for the performance.) The Chosen must continue performing it every turn for the effects to continue (not necessarily requiring a roll.) The performance put forth by the others will be the same as his performance, reinforcing its themes and social effect as any background dancers and choir would (with dramatic effects) - they can split their pool to undermine the performance in the same breath that they are part of it, of course. The effect of this anima dissipates if the a recipient moves out of the range of the Exalt employing it.
*''The Peacock: Perfect Mate's Plumage'' Spending 5 motes and spreading his symbolic tail in all its glory, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Peacock catches the attention of the target and keeps it riveted to himself. If the target is choosing someone randomly from the crowd, he will automatically pick the Sidereal. If the Sidereal is among the many traders competing for a deal with the target, the target will consider the Sidereal's offer as the most favorable. If the Sidereal and the target are in a group that is engaged in an argument with each other, the target will side with the Sidereal's point of view. Only Charms may allow one to compete with the Sidereal - and their difficulty increases by the Sidereal's Permanent Essence rating (causing a roll to happen when there would be none.)
*''The Pillar: Reins of the Matriarch'' Spending 5 motes and striking the face of the welcoming matriarch the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Pillar blesses the rite of passage of another into her household as a tight rein that keeps her abreast of all their affairs! This Anima must be activated when performing the ritual of admitting another into her household - either through contract or marriage, dinner or servitude. The Sidereal's anima shines with a peaceful azure light coruscating with the stars of the pillar and the edicts of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony, blessing their initiation: thereafter whenever the initiated finds themselves tempted to betray or leave the household the Sidereal will know, together with a one-sentence description of their temptation.

=== The Crimson Panoply of Victory ===
*''The Banner: Colors of a Legend'' Spending 5 motes and standing proud, the Sidereal whose star is ascedant in the Banner spreads the banner of his storied fame. Those interacting with the Sidereal will think that they have heard stories of someone matching his description. The exact nature of these stories varies according to Sidereal's nature (a warrior Sidereal bears tales of legendary valor and swordsplay, a scholar Sidereal is known for his fabled wisdom), but they portray deeds of nothing short of legendary caliber. Basically, the Banner increases the Sidereal's Reputation, and those interacting with him react to this accordingly.
*''The Gauntlet: To Hell and Back'' Spending 5 motes and striking the gauntlet into his palm, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Gauntlet makes a simple, somber statement that gives strength in front of adversity to himself and those he leads(no more than his Essence x10 individuals). It is not strength born of inspiration, courage or even hope. It is strength based on the simple knowledge that even though the task before them is unpleasant, the alternative of ''not'' doing it would be even worse. For the remainder of the scene, those he leads automatically suceed on all Conviction rolls torwards their goal, and cannot be affected by natural or supernatural fear, persuasion or other forms of mind control.
*''The Quiver: Changing the Rules'' Spending 5 motes the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Quiver may pick a different arrow from her metaphorical quiver, changing the shot while still in the air! The Sidereal may rearrange the numbers that allow for success, heroic success and botch before a single action by herself or anyone within (Permanent Essence x10) yards is rolled(for example, making it so 1s count as 7s, 4s counts as 10s, 5s as 8s and 6s as 9s, thus turning a disastrous failture on an outstanding success). The Sidereal rolls one Paradox die when using this ability.
*''The Shield: Fate Favors Heroes'' Spending 5 motes and striking the pose of a hero who faces suffering without fear, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Shield protects herself and her allies! For the remainder of the Scene, the Sidereal and all allies within(her Permanent Essence x10 yards) receive +1 difficulty to be affected in any fashion, with attacks or arguments! However, those benefits are lost if one of them fails a Valor roll.
*''The Spear: Perfect Phalanx'' Spending 5 motes and acting in a perfectly ordered fashion, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Spear organizes his allies in a perfect phalanx! The Sidereal makes a physical action, which may be enhanced in any way, and allows a number of allies equal to his Intelligence score to use his result when attempting the same task in the same turn in place of their own.

=== The Forbidding Manse of Ivy ===
*''The Guardians: Inner Wisdom'' Spending 5 motes and tapping his forehead the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the guardians kicks open the gates of his own natural wisdom! When this anima is activated the Sidereal learns one thing one of the former incarnations of his Exaltation knew about a single topic. The Sidereal does not learn comprehensive information but a single fact - and may not learn more facts of a single subject than his Permanent Essence rating.
*''The Key: Ten Thousand Open Doors'' Spending 5 motes and holding fingers out like a key covered in turquoise light, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Key becomes able to open anything! Any door locked by a being whose Essence score is not greater than the Sidereal's simply opens with a touch. With but a handle turned, or a touch on a Sanctum's entrance!
*''The Mask: Masked Intentions'' Spending 5 motes and pulling masks out of emerald stardust the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Mask binds a secret to those trusted with it! When a secret is given to another and sworn to secrecy the Sidereal can bless it with the broken symbol of the Mask, creating a conspiracy of shadows. Thereafter none that have been bound with the secret will speak of it by coercion or accident, although powerful magic can take the raw knowledge away without their consent. Fortuitous coincidences and the hand of fate will come to aid the secret to be kept and hamper investigations attempting to uncover it - at least until the one guarding the secret breaks its secretive nature.
*''The Sorcerer: First Among Equals'' Spending 5 motes and standing proud like a prince of the earth, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Sorcerer wears his Essence in the viridian regalia of a king! For the remainder of the scene, whenever he finds himself on a contested roll - including an attack or dodge - with an opponent of greater Essence than himself, count the Sidereal's Essence as being equal to his adversary. This modification occurs as the roll is made and affects Charms enhancing it, but not Charms activated before the attack is rolled, such as Extra Action Charms.
*''The Treasure Trove: Savant's Wealth'' Spending 5 motes and bringing emerald stardust to his pockets, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Treasure Trove may trade his secrets to increase his own treasure! For the remainder of the Scene the character can trade knowledge per good as if it was coin - something as simple as symbols to the illiterate would be the same as one dot of Resources in a trade, whereas important First Age facts would rank as high as five dots and buy the Savant a palace and important truths that change one's life grant things great as Artifacts or Manses. Even the greediest cutthroat will consider this a fair exchange - although this knowledge can only be used as coin if the one receiving was ignorant of it. The Sidereal rolls one Paradox die when using this ability.

=== The Violet Bier of Sorrows ===
*''The Corpse: The World Changes'' Spending 5 motes and striking the pose of a corpse ready for burial, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Corpse may instantly shift his attire with any other he owns. He may also call a number of personal props - including Artifacts and other personal items he owns - to himself equal to his Permanent Essence. Those appear as if they had been there all along. The Sidereal rolls one Paradox die when using the latter ability.
*''The Crow: Nocturnal Awakening'' Spending 5 motes and spreading night-black stardust under the eyes of one deluded, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Crow can shatter all illusions. This ends a single illusion-effect that the Sidereal can touch - whether the illusion itself or the forehead of one accomitted by a mental illusion. Permanent Glamour are unaffected, of course - only glamour that could be resisted and dispelled with cold iron can be affected with this power. Madmen can be snapped out of derangements for a time and deluded men can find a new outlook in life - or despair that the lies that fueled them are gone - with the use of this power.
*''The Haywain: This is the End'' Spending 5 motes and leaving a half-eaten fruit amidst an organization the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Haywain brings an air of endings to its proceedings. For the remainder of the Scene all members of this organization who interact with the Sidereal will feel that the organization is over. Roll their Conviction with a difficulty equal to half the Sidereal's Permanent Essence, rounded down - failure means that they feel the organization has run its course and there is nothing else there. Those so affected cannot precise ''why'' although their minds will make their own justifications for it.
*''The Rising Smoke: Journey's End'' Spending 5 motes and standing perfectly still, with but a single exhalation of violet fumes, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Rising Smoke stops All movement! The Sidereal halves the movement of all those within (Sidereal's Essence x10) yards of himself for the remainder of the Scene. Their movement if halved ''after'' the application of all multipliers to movement - all beings feel as if they had gotten to the end of their journeys when stepping closer to the Sidereal regardless of all that had impelled them beforehand. The effect of this anima dissipates if the a recipient moves out of the range of the Exalt employing it.
*''The Sword: End of Hope'' Spending 5 motes and a sharp, definite downward gesture, the Sidereal whose star is ascendant on the Sword may cut the threads of hope about their opponents and fill their peripheral vision with a purple haze that pulls them ever-closer to their inescapable doom. For the remainder of the Scene all wounds inflicted by the Chosen and all of his allies within within (Sidereal's Essence x10) yards cannot be healed naturally, and when healing is assisted by magic, their mote cost increases by the Sidereal's Permanent Essence.
