Scathing Solar Condemnation
8m, 1wp Presence 5DualMegami/Essence 4
One Scene, Simple (Speed 6 in short ticks, -0 DV)
Combo-Ok, Obvious, Holy, Shaping
Enemy Castigating Solar Judgement

Speaking harsh words of condemnation, the Solar briefly deems the target unfit for the approval of the Sun. For the rest of the scene, the target is considered to be a Creature of Darkness.
The Solar may attempt to override the effects of Abyssal Aegis, but doing so requires an Unstoppable ForceDualMegami/Immoveable Object rolloff. The tattoos of the Lunar Exalted do not wholly negate a condemnation in the name of the Sun, rather, the Solar rolls Charisma + Presence vs the Lunar's DMDV, (which is decreased by every dot of Solar Bond the Lunar posesses).
At Essence 6, the Solar may permanently condemn a target, but doing so requires a difficulty 6 Prayer Roll and costs an agg hl. If two Solars use this Charm against each other, both attempts instantly and automatically fail.

Demon Wracking Shout

InstantDualMegami/Simple
Combo-Basic, Obvious, Holy
Scathing Solar Condemnation

A Solar who comes into knowledge of this Charm has unlocked one of the greatest secrets of the Primordial War. It is said that the Demon Wracking Shout was learned when a Solar destroyed Adrian's heart. The Demon Wracking Shout is a powerful tool indeed. The attack is made with Charisma or Strength (whichever is higher) + Presence, adding the Solar's Essence as accuracy and in automatic successes. This blast of sound extends in [Essence x2] yards outward from the Solar in a 45 degree arc. All Creatures of Darkness or spiritual beings (gods, elementals, etc) within this zone defend normally against the result of a single attack roll. The base damage of this attack is equivalent to [Essence x2]A. If successful, all damage dice bypass soak on Step 7 and become automatic, instant, aggravated health levels on Step 10.
This is also an Occult charm with the same costs, requiring Essence 5DualMegami/Occult 5 and Ghost Eating Technique as a prerequisite. Substitute Occult for Presence, where applicable.


Inevitable Victory Declaration

One Scene, Simple
Combo-Basic, Obvious, Shaping
Enemy Castigating Solar Judgement, Authority Radiating Stance

The Lawgiver issues a command against a single target: this battle cannot be won--and it is so. For the rest of scene, no direct action taken by the target can bring the Solar below -4. The Solar may declare Inevitable Victory against a number of targets equal to [Essence]. Doing so costs an additional 6m, 1wp per target.
At Essence 6, the Solar may apply Inevitable Victory Declaration to all who oppose her but doing so costs 10m, 1wp.
Environmental Damage is never considered a direct action.

Emotion-Discerning Contact

Combo-Ok, Social, Touch
Any Presence Excellency

With the slightest touch, a Lawgiver can discern a target’s emotions towards her. She is instantly aware of all emotional-based feelings, Intimacies or Motivation(s) the target may have concerning her (love, anger, hatred, etc) but cannot discern thoughts. For a point of willpower, she automatically knows if the target’s emotions are the subject of Unnatural Mental Influence.
At Essence 6, this is no longer a Charm action and has no mote cost. The Solar, however, must still spend 1wp to determine Unnatural Mental Influence.
This is also an Investigation Charm, requiring Inv 4, Ess 3 and an Excellency.
