This charm may explicitely be comboed with charms from other abilities.

Keywords: Touch, Training 
Duration: One week 
Prerquisite Charms: Bar-Room Bodhissatva Phrases

Jupiter is jealous of the secrets she has. Few know she is generous with knowledge that the time has come to be known. This charm involves training a unit over the course of a week by spending at least 5 hours educating them over that time frame. In each week of training the Sidereal picks one of the following to train: Intelligence, Perception, Bureaucracy, Crafts(Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Wood), Lore, Linguistics, Occult, Medicine and Socialize. This charm increases that trait for each member of the unit by one dot, to a maximum of 4. The Sidereal can train with the group or as a solo character, increasing her own traits. She cannot increase others' traits past her own.

Mudra of the Hidden Sign 
Cost: 2m/difficulty; Mins: Lore 4, Essence 3, House of Secrets 0; Type: Simple 
Keywords: College, Shaping 
Duration: Indefinite 
Prerequisite Charms: Many Assistants Research Study

Making a short hand sign the Sidereal sets herself up as a gaurdian against something from being known. For every 2 motes she commits the difficulty of all roles directly related to learning about something is raised by one. Not every fact can be hidden and the more people that know about it the more unlikely it is that the Sidereal can make it hard for people to learn about it. If the magnitude of the people who know about a secret is greater then the Vizier's House of Secrets rating. The Maiden of Secrets herself should not be counted even when she knows the secret in question. Though this charm is a College charm it can be bought when one has no dots in House of Secrets in which case it only counts for secrets the Sidereal herself knows.
---------------
Ages of Wisdom Understanding 
Cost: -; Mins: Lore 5, Essence 4; Type: Permanent 
Keywords: None 
Duration: Permanent 
Prerequisite Charms: Any Lore Excellency

Like their Celestial cousins the Lunar Exalted the Sidereals understand there is strength in service. Each purchase of this charm gives the Vizier 10 more motes of Peripheral Essence. This mote pool can only be replenished by offering sincere advice to help a social unit prosper. Each hour spent advising them provides a number of motes equal to the units Magnitude if the Vizier wishes. A Sidereal may purchase this charm repeatedly up to a maximum number of times equal to her Essence. In a game using Sidereal Martial Arts and the Sutras it is suggested that the Sutra's not work if a Sidereal has motes in this additional pool.

Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Shaping 
Duration: Instant 
Prerequisite Charms: Any Lore Excellency

Though its not spoken of too much there are times where the Viziers work at cross purposes and the natural directives of Heaven are counterproductive. Touching someone under the effects of Sidereal Astrology and spending the requisite motes can bring the effect to an end. This charm can also be used to disrupt resplendant destinies. If the target is unwilling this requires an attack roll. This charm my explicitely be comboed with charms from other abilities.
---------
Perfected Palm Reading Technique 
Cost: -; Mins: Lore 2, Essence 2; Type: Permanent 
Keywords: Touch 
Duration: Permanent 
Prerequisite Charms: None

When cut off from the Loom the Viziers are still not so limited as mortals are in the arts of prediction. Touching someone lets a Sidereal examine their fate thread as if they had gathered the normal 20 successes to find their thread in the Loom of Fate. This charm only works on those who not out of fate wether by nature or location. As a further note this sort of charm isn't very useful for dealing with non-Extra Essence users as the ability to use Essence lets them change their own destinies rendering even events happening latter that day subject to change.

Cost: 10m, 1wp; Mins: Lore 3, Essence 3; Type: Simple(Dramatic Action) 
Keywords: None 
Duration: One day 
Prerequisite Charms: Any Lore Excellency, Perfected Palm Reading Technique

Sidereals have very little time to themselves. As such they can't always go and work with the Loom in Yu-Shan while in the field. Yet they have found ways around such limitations. Using this charm the character can perform normal astrology reading actions but instead of the normal results for astrology she can do actions that would normally require being at the loom such as looking for a particular person. Furthermore while this charm is active the character is treated as if they know all the rituals for thaumaturgical Astrology and can use either their Lore or Occult for dice pools.

-If the Sidereal accomplishes it at any point in the future on any single roll the Sidereal may reroll any failed dice on the roll.  In combat this must be declared in Step 1 for attacking and Step 2 for defending.  In the case of defending this effect improves the character's DV by half for one attack and does not count as counting towards DV cap granted by charms.  The charm costs 2m to activate and that 2m remains committed until the Sidereal ensures the event comes to pass or the event passes and the Sidereal fails at their task.  The reroll remains stored indefinitely.

+The Vizears are hailed as the wisest and most learned of the Exalted and others always come to them for wisdom.  A Sidereal can now act as a mentor for Charms and spells she does not know so long as she has familiarity with them.  For custom charms developed by others the Sidereal helps with developing similar but not identical charms.  Finally, when acting as a mentor for a mundane Ability or Attribute they now take a day or a week respectively to improve.
