  • Type: Simple
  • Duration: One scene
  • Mins: Awareness 3, Essence 1

Sensory Acuity Prana

  • Cost: 3m
  • Type: Simple

The Solar makes a single Perception+Awareness roll, and applies the result to each thing within reach of their senses that would warrant a check.

Unswerving Eye Method

  • Type: Permanent
  • Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 2
  • Prereqs: Keen Senses Technique

While Keen Senses (Sight) active, the Solar is automatically aware of any effort to hide from, steal from, or conceal something from their vision. If the feat is undetectable, they are left knowing that something is amiss - but not what it is.

Blink

  • Type: Reflexive
  • Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 3
  • Prereqs: Sensory Acuity Prana

Foe-Scenting Method

  • Type: Permanent
  • Mins: Awareness 4, Essence 2

The Solar is automatically aware of each person within range of their sense of smell and, if the Solar has smelt them before, their identity. This Charm does not reveal where they are.

As long as their subject is moving, the Solar receives no visibility penalties on rolls regarding them.

Roused Dragon Detection

  • Cost: 1m, 1wp
  • Type: Supplementary
  • Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 2
  • Prereqs: Keen Senses Method

An attack enhanced by this Charm may be made against a hidden target that the Solar knows is nearby (treat as having a cover bonus of +4 Defence). If it hits, the target is forced to move, incurring appropriate penalties.

Unsurpassed Hearing and Touch Discipline

  • Type: Permanent
  • Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 3

Dedicated Unerring Ear

  • Type: Permanent
  • Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 4
  • Prereqs: Unsurpassed Hearing and Touch Discipline

Whenever the Solar is addressed by someone they have a Major or Defining Intimacy for, whatever the distance, they are made aware. By spending 3 motes, they can listen to what they have to say clearly, as though they were present.

Eye of the Unconquered Sun

  • Cost: 10m, 1wp
  • Type: Simple
  • Duration: One turn
  • Mins: Awareness 5, Essence 4
  • Prereqs: All three Unsurpassed (Sense) Discipline Charms

The Solar’s gaze breaks all forms of disguise and concealment, and clearly illuminates all objects regardless of what stands in the way. The Solar rolls Perception+Awareness; a person can choose to dodge the Solar’s gaze if this is lower than their Evasion.
