This charm allows the Alchemical Exalted to take several mental actions simultaneously. When activated in this way, it allows the Alchemical to make several rolls based on mental attributes at the same time. For example, the Alchemical might spend a scene at the forge, rolling intelligence + occult to work on the artifact they are creating, while also rolling wits + socialize to review mentally review the events of last nights dinner in order to look for weaknesses in the Tripartite Council's members, and rolling Perception + Awareness to keep their eyes open for intruders. They may make a number of mental rolls in the scene, equal to their Intelligence score. In its second configuration it lasts for only a single instant, but it allows the activation of a number of other Intelligence based charms of instant duration in the same turn equal to their essence score, without a combo.

Acting as a living conduit for the energies of the machine god Autochthon, an Alchemical Exalted using this Charm is capable of channeling that power into the Sorcery of the Terrestrial Circle, as per the Terrestrial Circle Sorcery Charm (Exalted, p. 191). This Charm is visible as a large emerald installed in the solar plexus area, surrounded by a complex setting wrought from the Alchemical's Caste Material. Spells are installed via emeralds etched with the proper pattern to allow the energy to be channeled in a particular method, and a brave Alchemical could attempt to create new spells by building on the principles of known etchings. There is no Installation Cost for spells, beyond the standard Experience Point cost (or taking up a starting Charm slot). These spell emeralds are absorbed into the larger emerald, and float eerily inside as if suspended in a viscous emerald fluid. It takes a week for a 'data crystal' containing a spell to be fully integrated and ready for use.

As with Emerald Essence Actuator, an Alchemical Exalted Using Sapphire Essence Actuator acts as a living conduit of Autochthon's power, but this Charm allows an even greater Amount of power to be accessed. This Charm allows the use of Celestial Circle Sorcery, as per the Charm of the same name (Exalted, p. 191). Sapphire Essence Actuator functions similarly to Emerald Essence Actuator, with spells stored in etchings on specially-prepared sapphires, which operate identically to the emeralds of the previous Charm, except that It takes two weeks for a 'data crystal' containing a spell to be fully integrated and ready for use. This Charm is installed in the area of the Alchemical's sternum, visible as a large sapphire surrounded by a setting made of the Alchemical's Caste Material and flecked with streaks of the other four Magical Materials.

Alchemical Intelligence Charms

Bolt of Entrancing Celerity's eyes scanned the mortars across the ravine; they would hit, considering all physical variables. He began arranging a sorcerous matrix, Charms activating along his back -- the air became charged with motes, wild and unpredictable. He would give them a metaphysical complication instead.
