=== Changes ===
None yet.

=== Comments ===

C&C warmly welcomed - I wrote this, with help, in the early hours of the morning - so it's all subject to changes.

Could you put the charms into the standard format from the books? As it is, the order of the information is... off. Beyond that, interesting stuff although someone else is going to have to comment on the balance. It needs fluff (of course) but it looks good to me. - MoonSword

I'm afraid I can't be bothered - also I like my layout - it's functional.
Anyone willing to comment on the charm effects? [[DiamondMX]]

It seems rather powerful for Celestial at an eyeballing, so perhaps it should be a Sidereal style?
Also, I propose that it have throwing knives as a style weapon. Steamrollers, sadly, have perished since the First Age... -JanVutch said, wryly

:I'll agree that the later charms move up into SMA regions - but it starts at the power level of a CMA - those charms who seem out of place in a CMA are
*DCT (Unusual effect)
*FTW - bit more flexable than the Abyssal version of the same effect
*UM - An effect not in 2E yet - but I think I've balanced the bonuses with the penalties.
*FGSM - Again, an odd and powerful effect - but it's got downsides which are harsh - extreme cost, and it's involuntary.
*SoTS - The limitations of rate make this not as useful as it seems, but it's nice in any case.
*IRM - Slightly better than the Abyss version, much higher up the trees though.
*WC - A fairly straight copy of CMoS form, but as the top charm of a style it's not that bad.

I think it's ok for a Celestial Style, as it's pretty straight forward, the practioner is simply really really fast. it doesn't delve into the Platonic Form of 'Fast' or anything. That said, it is fairly mighty. I think I would just up the Essence requirement by one across the board. -- [[TegeusCromis]]
