Monkey Leap Technique
- Cost: 3m
- Type: Reflexive
- Mins: Athletics 2, Essence 1
The Solar may automatically move a range band in any direction, without requiring a check or incurring falling damage, as long as they have something to jump from. This may only be activated once each turn.
Soaring Crane Leap
- Type: Permanent

The Solar may continue to reactivate Monkey Leap Technique each turn to continue with the speed and direction of the original leap, whether or not they have anything to jump from.

Every time the Solar rolls a double result on a rush check, they gain a point of initiative.
Bonfire Anima Wings

Power Suffusing Form
- Type: Permanent
- Mins: Athletics 5, Essence 3
- Prereqs: Thunder’s Might
Whenever the Solar succeeds at a feat of strength, they gain motes equal to the Strength minimum of the feat. These must be spent on Athletics Charms before the end of the Solar’s next action, or they are lost.
Spider Foot Style
