SolarMelee/Falcon

Over here, we can find Singing Sword Spirit Style, a whole tree of charms arranged thematically a la martial arts.

Everything else goes here, until I've built another tree or two.

Wood Grows Strong In The Noonday Sun

Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Melee: 1
Minimum Essence: 1
Pre-Requisite Charms: None

Unlike many charms, this particular magic is new to the Age of Sorrows. In the First Age, the Solar Exalted carried their weapons openly and did not hide their nature. In the Second Age, many of the reborn Princes of the Earth find that they must do exactly that. Some have found that where a shining golden daiklave marks them out as what they are, a simple staff can be both an effective and a subtle weapon.

Unfortunately, a simple staff is mere wood, and can break easily when exposed to the titanic conflicts of the Exalted. To that end, a few Solars who favour the staff in combat have learned how to suffuse it with their essence to ensure that it survives the rigours of their adventures.

When this charm is activated, a single wooden weapon becomes temporarily as strong as if it had been forged from orichalcum. It will survive any normal trauma or impact, and can endure a number of powerful effects (that usually say something like 'only weapons made of the five magical materials can survive') equal to the Essence of the Exalt who activated this charm. Weapons so enchanted can be handed off, and retain their powers for as long as the essence is committed or until the end of the scene, whichever comes first.
