Each Archery attack roll once, apply twice: take onslaught like two attacks, roll damage twice. Applies to Flame Weapons. Any attack made with Archery weapons apply, even if used with MA charms such as Righteous Devil Style or Wood Dragon Style. 1 mote surcharge added per shot for siege weapons (i.e. Large Essence Cannons, Implosion Bows, etc.) Adds 1 to the number of attacks that can be made with Archery Extra Actions charms. Each attack still counts as two. If applying a supplemental Charm to the attacks, must be paid for twice in order to achieve the effects twice.

• All-Seeing Archer’s EyeDualMegami/B>

<b>Bolts of Searing Might
4m 5/4
Instant/Supplemental
Combo-Ok, Obvious, Holy, Stackable
Essence Arrow

The Solar unleashes a single shot that strikes like a volley, each arrow intended to crush and thwart the unjust and unholy. Against Creatures of Darkness, the damage is aggravated and the wound penalties doubled, plus an additional -1. Ordinary targets take Lethal or Bashing Damage as per the arrow type, and their wound penalties are increased by -1. The -1 penalties for both Creatures of Darkness and normal targets stack each time the target is damaged with Bolts of Searing Might.
At Essence 6 this charm may be reflexively activated on Step 10.

Missile-Driven Messenger
5m, 5/4
Instant/Supplemental
Combo-Ok
There Is No Wind

Affixing a written message or some other document to her arrow, the Solar draws and lets fly--the arrow unerringly finding its target.
THe Solar must know the target's name or common alias and general direction. If the Solar does not know the target's direction (or if the target is on the move)--the Lawgiver must make a reflexive Wits+Archery roll at a difficulty of the target's Essence,. This does not actually damage the target.
THis Charm cannot be used with Flame weapons since a discharge of flame is generally counterproductive to delivering a message that needs to arrive intact. There is no such restriction for seige weapons that fire a physical missile (this should not be a missile that explodes: see the text on flame weapons)--regardless of what the letter says, this /usually/ sends another message loud and clear.
While this Charm does not apply to combat, particularly resourceful players may find other things to affix to the arrow--though unless the Solar has another charm comboed with this one, the object should not be so heavy that it would prevent an arrow from flying.
Missile Driven Messenger was popular among Night Castes of the First Age for long distance death threats and among flashier Dawn Castes who used it to declare war.
