<i>Duration:</i> Instant
<i>Type:</i> Simple
<i>Keywords:</i> Obvious, Combo-OK
<i>Minima:</i> 1/2
<i>Prereqs:</i> None

One of the first lessons of Thunder God Style is this: If you yell loud enough, people will do what you want them to. The Exalt fills their lungs with Essence, expelling it in a flare of light and sound that conveys the displeasure and rage of a demigod to their opponent. When this charm is activated, the caster rolls Presence at a difficulty of the target's Valor. For every success past threshold on the roll, one dice (or one dot from static values) is subtracted from the target's actions for a number of actions equal to the caster's Essence.
Roar Of Elemental Fury

Cost: 5m Duration: One Action Type: Simple Keywords: Obvious, Combo-OK Minima: 2/2 Prereqs: Rumble of Thunder Battlecry

The Exalt unleashes their will to fight and destroy in a wave of Essence-soaked sound that overwhelms all in its path. This charm allows the caster to make a Martial Arts attack with an area of effect 3 yards wide by (Presencex5) yards long. It deals bashing damage equal to the caster's (Presence+Essence), and adds 3 die to the pre-soak damage against any opponents with Resistance 3 or lower. It also deals stunning damage equal to the caster's Presence.
Booming Thunderclap Strike

Cost: 1m per level Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Keywords: Obvious, Combo-OK Minima: 2/2 Prereqs: None

Students of Thunder God style learn very quickly the value of shock tactics. In multiple senses. This charm enhances a Martial Arts attack. For every 1m spent, one health level of damage inflicted is converted to stunning damage, up to the caster's Essence in levels.
Fists Garbed In Lightning

Cost: 7m, 1w Duration: One Scene, or until dismissed Type: Simple Keywords: Obvious, Combo-OK Minima: 3/2 Prereqs: Booming Thunderclap Strike

The Exalt calls forth the power of the storm in its purest form, wreathing their fists in crackling lightning. For one scene, they can choose to either double the amount of pre-soak damage inflicted by all Martial Arts attacks, or make the damage lethal.
Thunder God Form

Cost: 10m, 1w Duration: One Scene Type: Simple Keywords: Combo-OK, Form, Obvious Minima: 3/3 Prereqs: Fists Garbed In Lightning, Roar of Elemental Fury

The character who can express Thunder God Style in all its brutal simplicity wields fearsome power over the elements and over her own body. When this charm is activated, the character is surrounded by a blazing aura of lightning that imposes (Essence) lethal damage every tick, and can be extended out to her Essence in yards. She also gains temporary use of the elemental charm "Elemental Expression-Lightning", free of charge. In addition, she adds her Presence in dice to pre-soak damage, and her Essence to her accuracy pools. Finally, all bashing damage inflicted by the character counts as lethal.
Earth to Sky Leap

Cost: 6m Duration: Instant Type: Simple Keywords: Combo-OK Minima: 4/3 Prereqs: Thunder God Form

Like the first lightning strike, an instant before the second, that actually leaps from the ground to the clouds, the character can propel themselves skywards with incredible force. They may spend 3m to multiply the distance of a vertical jump by their (Essence x 10).
Heaven's Revenge Strike

Cost: 6m Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious Minima: 4/3 Prereqs: Earth to Sky Leap

Like a lightning bolt, the master of this technique can fall from incredible heights with the force of a shooting star, but without the splattering that usually follows. This charm can be activated whenever the character is falling more than their Essence in yards. It automatically negates all bashing damage that would have been inflicted from the fall, and transmits (Fall damage x Essence) to whatever the character strikes (usually a building or opponent.)
Singing In The Rain Stance

Cost: 7m, 1w Duration: One Scene Type: Simple Keywords: Combo-OK, Emotion Minima: 4/3 Prereqs: Thunder God Form

The practitioner of Thunder God Style must eventually experience both being the storm and being in the storm. This stance channels the desperation and loneliness and overwhelming sense of futility that comes from being alone in the rain. For the rest of the scene, whenever the caster of this charm makes a Martial Arts attack against an opponent that is not completely dodged or parried, the opponent must take a Conviction check at a difficulty of the caster's Presence, even if they take no damage. If they fail, they immediately fall to their knees in tears, overwhelmed by a sense of futility and grief. For the remainder of the scene, they cannot take any offensive actions and suffer a -3 penalty to all defensive actions. They will not move from the spot of their collapse unless their life is in danger, and will probably weep uncontrollably. This charm has no effect on automatons, Fair Folk, or other beings with no relevant emotions.
Strike Like The Lightning Technique

Cost: 2m per action + 1w Duration: Instant Type: supplementary Keywords: Combo-OK Minima: 6/3 Prereqs: Thunder God Form

The lightning strikes almost too fast for the eye to follow. In the same way, those who have mastered this Charm can strike with blinding speed. This charm enhances a Martial Arts attack. For 2 motes and 1 temporary willpower, the caster can subtract
