=== Comments ===

A few things.
A) Keep in mind, unless you've got some mystic mojo with this Style that you don't say, it's not exclusively a Solar style. So, invoking the Sun's wrath may not be the best special effect.

B) I really like the River's Undertow Method. :) I'd actually make it one of the beginner Charms- it's not powerful enough to be as deep as it is or have the requirements it does.

C) Stance of Heavenly Vengence is terrifying. You forgot (I hope!) to include the note about not being able to counter attack counterattacks. It is also better than Ready in Eight Directions by quite a bit- scene longs are terrifying and must be used with care. May I suggest that, instead of a standard coutner-attack, that for 5 motes it's only good for a single attempt- but if the attack is blocked, then the Exalt rolls the number of success there were on the attack as well as their full Dex+MA pool? Catching that whole 'use your enemy against himself' thing. And drop the bypasing armor- otherwise you risk obsoleting Chi-Punch.
