For one, I love the idea - I've hated Solars' grip on the speedup offered by CNNT for a long time, and am glad to see Lunars get in on the action. Given the Lunars' propensity for being generalists, the ability of this charm to broadly affect intelligence based actions is welcome as well, as is the lowered boost. The only thing that concerns me, however, is the activation cost - varying between 5 and 10 committed motes for what could well be a /very/ long time. Months, even. Given that the Solars are committing so few, and in general, this isn't that splashy of an action - at best, a 5 Ess, 5 Int Lunar could expect a x10 from this - not much, compared to an Ess 3 Solar. Thus, my claim is that it should be reduced greatly in mote cost in some fashion. My preferred way might be to remove  any increased cost from the upgrade charm, thus giving you a 5m flat fee for speedup. -- GreenLantern

Crafting

Den-Planning Intuition
Cost: 5m; Mins: Intelligence 4, Essence 3
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Intelligence Excellency
The Lunar's plans take shape with great rapidity. This supplements any Intelligence-based dramatic action, such as designing a manse, forging objects or artifacts, planning strategies for war, and so on. The action is sped up by a factor of the Lunar's Essence (thus with Essence 3, a strategy session that requires one hour to undertake is complete in twenty minutes, a manse receives three rolls per month for designing rather than one, and so on]

Weaving Spider's Alacrity
Cost: -- (+5m1wp), Mins: Intelligence 5, Essence 5
Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Den-Planning Intuition
A Lunar's thoughts occur with the lightning speed of flowing moonsilver, fluidly adapting as surely as the moon's face changes. This augments its' prerequisite; for a 5m1wp surcharge, the Lunar may add her Intelligence to the speed factor (raising it to make such projects occur (her Essence+Intelligence) faster.)

For one, I love the idea - I've hated Solars' grip on the speedup offered by CNNT for a long time, and am glad to see Lunars get in on the action. Given the Lunars' propensity for being generalists, the ability of this charm to broadly affect intelligence based actions is welcome as well, as is the lowered boost. The only thing that concerns me, however, is the activation cost - varying between 5 and 10 committed motes for what could well be a /very/ long time. Months, even. Given that the Solars are committing so few, and in general, this isn't that splashy of an action - at best, a 5 Ess, 5 Int Lunar could expect a x10 from this - not much, compared to an Ess 3 Solar.
