Dauntless Pursuer Method Cost: 8 motes Duration: Indefinite Type: Simple Minimum Investigation: 5 Minimum Essence: 4 Prerequisite Charms: Abiding Blood Observation, Hawk Aloft Gaze
This Charm allows the investigating Exalt to track their suspect to the ends of Creation. Wherever the suspect stepped, his footprints appear in blood. This is a Perfect Effect, and cannot be foiled by any Charm that has a lower Essence requirement. If the suspect is not on Creation, the footprints will lead to the nearest doorway into that realm, whether it be the Underworld, Wyld, Yu Shan or Malfeas.
Perfect Apprehension Technique Cost: 15 motes, 1 Willpower Duration: Instant Type: Simple Minimum Investigation: 5 Minimum Essence: 5 Prerequisite Charms: Dauntless Pursuer Method, Unknown Wisdom Epiphany
Solar Exalted are the Princes of the Earth, and have a divine mandate over Creation. When justice must be done, Creation will bow to the Exalts authority and present a suspect for apprehension, no matter what the distance. The Exalted makes a grabbing gesture in the air. The player must roll Per + Investigation, resisted by the offending suspects Essence. If the Exalts succeeds, the suspect appears, clutched by the Solar's hands. Distance does not matter to this Charm. There are certain limitations to this Charm. The Solar must be convinced that the suspect is guilty of a crime, and have a request for apprehension from a legitimate authority. The suspect must be on Creation, as the Solars mandate does not extend to the Underworld, the Wyld, or Yu Shan. If the area where the Solars hands are is unsafe, the suspect will appear in the nearest safe area. The Charm is unblockable and undodgeable, except by Perfect Defense. It does count as a suprise attack, so the Perfect Defense must be applicable vs. suprise, or combo'd with Suprise Anticipation Method and the like.
Peerless Tutoring Evocation Cost: 10 motes, 1 Willpower Duration: 1 Scene Type: Simple Minimum Lore: 5 Minimum Investigation: 5 Minimum Essence: 4 Prerequisite Charms:Unknown Wisdom Epiphany, Effortless Learning Method
This Charm was very infrequently used in the First Age. But in today's age, Solars must often try to tutor themselves. This Charm aids in that. It allows the Solar to create a Tulku, a "memory self" of someone to teach them, made up of dust motes and captured sunbeams. The Solar needs an item that belongs to the person who they want to create a Tulku for. The Tulku has no material existence, nor is it a ghost of any kind. It is simply the memories of someone who owned the item. For as long as the Solar commits the Essence, the Tulku can tutor the Solar in any subject in which the original person was knowledgeable. This includes Charms and Sorcery. The main limitation is that the Tulku only has knowledge up to the time they owned the item. So for example, a First Age Artifact owned by Chejop Kejak may not have mastery of Citrine Poxes of Creation.
