These are the Solar Charms for Initiation into Martial Arts for the MartialArts/KataSystem. Solar Exalted have five paths to initiate into the Martial Arts - one for each Caste. Each Initiation has its own special advantages and disadvantages; a well-versed Martial Artist will eventually wish to re-Initiate in all of them. Each of these Charms is Combo-Basic, and are explicitly allowed to be placed together in Combos with each other.

* When learning a Celestial Martial Art from a non-elemental God, a Fair Folk Noble, or a Second Circle Demon, the Exalted may lower the cost to learn the Kata by 2 xp.

Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Bureaucracy: 5
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite: Second Martial Discipline
He who has mastered the ephemeral Transcendence of the Martial Arts has grasped the true nature of the Ways of Essence, and may learn and execute Sidereal Martial Arts Katas. Unlike Terrestrial and Celestial Martial Arts, which come naturally to a Solar, a Sidereal Martial Arts Style must be taught by someone who has mastered the Style. In addition to this ability, the Martial Artist gains the following power:

* When learning a Sidereal Martial Art (or the equivalent) from a Celestial God with Essence 7+, an Unshaped Raksha, or a Third Circle Demon, the Exalted may lower the cost to learn the Kata by 3 xp. The Exalt should beware that while the Yozis and the Unshaped have powerful Kata abilities which rival the Sidereal Martial Arts in power, learning to execute these techniques often comes at a terrible price to one's sanity, Destiny, and very soul.
