Inspired by the Sidereal's own glorious [[Paper-Based Bureaucratic Assassin Style]], Falling Rose Petal Style uses the principal "Through Weakness, Strength".  It allows the Martial artist to turn any collection of small, light, delicate objects - rose petals, leaves, sand, paperwork, et cetera - into deadly weapons.

No mundane weapons may be used with this style (although the Exalt may find it handy to carry around a large jar of sand, leaves, or something similiar.) Also, see the SagaofWarandPeace, which contains two artifact weapons specifically designed to be used with this style.  (in progress)

(in progress, see update below)

Inspired by the Sidereal's own glorious Paper-Based Bureaucratic Assassin Style, Falling Rose Petal Style uses the principal "Through Weakness, Strength". It allows the Martial artist to turn any collection of small, light, delicate objects - rose petals, leaves, sand, paperwork, et cetera - into deadly weapons.

Attacks made using the Dance of Flitting Death are considered unarmed for the purpose of this style. Also, see the SagaofWarandPeace, which contains two artifact weapons specifically designed to be used with this style. (in progress)

Dance of Ephemeral Joy</b>

<b>Cost: 2 Motes 
Type: Reflexive 
Length: As long as Essence is Commited.
Prereq: 2 MA, 1 Essence 

The Exalt extends her own form of Essence to embrace Rose Petals, paperwork, or any similiarly light object as part of her own body. The chosen objects swirl, dance, and reform at the Exalt's command. The Dance must stay within Essence x 10 yards of you, but is otherwise limited only by the availblity of small objects in the area. You may manipulate the Dance as a whole, but you have no fine control: Which individual flower petal is where at any given moment is a matter of chance, not choice.
When you take this Charm, you may choose one type of material that you perfer to work with. This has no effect on this Charm, but will become relevant later. You may not choose a material of practical or monetary value, such as firedust or silk. The Dance of Ephemeral Joy will lift such objects if it finds them, but perfers to work with less pragmatic materials.

I can think of so many cool things that can be done with this. idea:For Lonely Rose Strike: Make it not an attack. That bypasses HGD. ;) -FlowsLikeBits

So, I've been thinking, and I have some ideas to streamline this style a little bit. Here are my alterations:

I would remove Iron Dancer's Endurance and give its functions to Dance of Ephemeral Joy. Iron Dancer's Endurance is otherwise just sort of a speedbump.
I would cheapen Dance of Ephemeral Joy. It's basically an essence sink to keep the style from getting to powerful (ie. you have to activate it before you can use the rest of the style. Period), and I think 3 motes has a better feel than 4, but that's quibbling.
I would increase the cost of Falling Rose Petal Form to 5 motes - the standard cost for a form charm - and buff it up a little. I recommend giving the Dance of Fleeting Death an accuracy bonus equal to the martial artist's permanent Essence, a damage bonus equal to his Martial Arts, and an infinite rate and the same range as before. Also, I would rule that the Dance of Fleeting Death can be used with Thrown Charms but not with other martial arts styles. Otherwise the combo and combat options for this style become really sharply limited. Martial arts should be limited, but the one thing they can do like everything else is combo.
I would switch Maddening Flower Interruption and Embrace of Flowers. For Maddening Flower Interruption, I would make the effect that you reduce your opponent's die pool by your Martial Arts for one action. The charm is still reflexive, and you can still use it on one person multiple times and on multiple people at the same time.
For Embrace of Flowers, I would specify that the charm has a duration of indefinite for the purposes of clinches and that you can use the charm to maintain a clinch on one person while doing other things. That's why it has to be moved up the tree. Imagine someone standing in the center of a whirlwind of flower petals, grappling four or five people at once, while attacking someone else with the storm, or with weapons...
One Thousand Petal Rush needs a cap. I reccomend Martial Arts.
I would specify that Lonely Rose Strike bypasses armor and armor-like effects. Also, I would increase the Essence requirement to 4. Are you sure it deals one level, not one die?
Seraph

Wow, thanks for all the praise! I just came back to the Wiki and this style after a year or so absent. Its looking kind of mechanically naive to me now, much too weak. You're taking a lot of Charms to do things you can do anyway. So I'm trying to rewrite the Charms, with the schtick of controling huge amounts of territory. I envision some Martial Artist looking around at the end of the scene and she's got three guys in holds, is chasing two away, and parrying the attacks of two more.

One-Thousand Petal Rush

Cost: 1 mote
Type: Extra Action 
Duration: Instant 
Prereq: 5 MA, 3 Essence, Realm of Delicate Beauty 

Even the mightiest sword is but one sword. A flower petal may take comfort in the presence of thousands of its compatriots. The One-Thousand Petal Rush draws on the principal of might through unity, overwhelming the opponent through sheer numbers. For each mote spent on One-Thousand Petal Rush, you may make an attack using your full Wits + Martial Arts or Wits + Thrown pool. You may not split your die pool in a round in which you execute the One-Thousand Petal Rush.
