There is a large difference between our inherent powers, our charms, and the Sorcery we are capable of using. 
While there is a learning of the proper technique for channeling our essence for Charm use, most of our effort 
in training for charms involves building a kind of essence based muscle memory so the charm use is instinctive 
Spells are different, all there is to it is the knowledge, since what we are changing is outside ourselves it 
never becomes instinctive. This is one reason for the large essence costs of sorcery, inefficiency. Consider 
than the spell as a recipe for changing the world, the essence we spend acts as ingredients, sometimes we must 
use tools or special conditions. What then represents the Circles of Sorcerous knowledge that Exalted can 
aspire to and most spells require. They are our knowledge of techniques as the chef. Some spells are simple enough that they can be cast without any such training, but even these are usually improved by such knowledge.

 

Spells are learned as non-favored charms unless you have access to an organization that can train certain spells 
as favored. A spells only prerequisite to learn is a certain circle of Sorcery, some spells gain additional 
options if cast with a higher Circle of Sorcery. This does not require relearning the spell, attaining the 
circle brings the knowledge. Spells usually exceed the amount of motes one can safely spend so they take 
multiple turns to cast, spending motes per turn until spell's needed total is reached.

== Carbuncle Circle Sorcery ==

Carbuncle Circle Spells are those that can be cast without special sorcerous knowledge from outside the spell. 
Many of these spells can be improved by being cast under a higher Circle though. Carbuncle spells are cast as 
is, unlike higher levels no willpower is needed.

Summon Imp 
Cost: 2 motes + 1 motes per 2 dice 
Target: One Imp 
Time: One Hour 
Tools: none

This spell can call forth a lesser Demonic Creature called an imp into the world, the summoner than engages 
the imp in a contest of wills, each side rolling Essence + Willpower, until one gains three more successes 
than the other. If the demon wins, the sorcerer may attempt a last ditch banishing with a Wits + Occult roll 
but must gain 3 successes to succeed. Otherwise the Imp is free to escape or attach the sorcerer. If the 
sorcerer wins they may bind the imp to loyal service for one year, or loyal service to a task until complete 
Both side can spend willpower to enhance these rolls and Demons always will until they run out unless the 
summoner adopts a template. Templates are designed flaws in the demon bond that tempt the demon to remain 
in the world in hopes they can take advantage, however for it to work this weakness must be real. Finding 
templates or creating new ones are difficult and dangerous tasks, but can allow for low effort summonings. 
The summoner can also ease summoning by spending extra motes, for imps every mote spent reduces Imp's 
dice pool by two. Imp's have an Essence between one and three and a willpower between two and six. High 
essence is a sign of magical power, while more will is a sign of independence and skills, Imps max out 
their willpower + Essence at 7 while the weakest have three. This spell is one that can benefit from circle 
Sorcery. The difference are many so the spell is re described in appropriate section, but it is all one spell.

Levinbolt 
Cost: 1mote 
Target: One Target 
Time: instant 
Tools: none

This spell allows the sorcerer to cast forth the classic attack of a burst of Silvery Light. This spell 
does not gain enhancement from high circle casting, those circles have their own damaging spells. This 
attack is a ranged attack that uses Wits + Occult as the damage roll with lethal damage dealt and a 
short range of Essence score times ten yards.
