MANIFEST THE DARK STEED Cost: 3 motes Duration: One scene Type: Simple Minimum Conviction: 2 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: Embody This Arcanos allows a ghost to bring a single ghost animal into a manifest form when he manifests. He must be touching the animal to do so. The animal retains all of its Attributes, Abilities, soak and health levels. Other animals of its species will recognize it to be strange and shy away from it. The ghost animal returns to incorporeal ghost form at the end of the scene — or sooner than that, if the ghost using this Arcanos ends his manifestation before the end of the scene. BIRTH THE WARRIOR FORM Cost: 20 motes, 1 Willpower Duration: Five minutes per success Type: Simple Minimum Valor: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Embody Birth the Warrior Form allows the ghost to use his Essence and Willpower to create a body that is prepared for combat — the ghost also creates temporary armor and weapons that manifest in the living world. The player should roll Valor + Occult to create the body, and for each success, the Warrior Form lasts for five minutes. This body takes the ghost’s likeness and has his full Attributes. The Warrior Form also has the ghost’s full health levels. Additionally, the ghost may fabricate any single nonmagical weapon and single nonmagical set of armor, each of whose Resources cost is less than or equal to his Essence. For instance, if the ghost’s Essence is 3, he may create a great sword and a chain hauberk, but not plate-and-chain. The ghost may dissolve the Warrior Form at any time before the end of the Charm’s rolled duration, in which case, the Warrior Form is considered to have ended. When the Charm ends, the armor and weapon created by it dissolve along with the Warrior Form. BIRTH THE PERFECTED MASTER Cost: 20 motes, 1 Willpower Duration: Five minutes per success Type: Simple Minimum Valor: 2 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Embody Ghosts exist outside of the formal strictures of Creation. The body that a ghost creates for himself does not have to match the characteristics of his dead flesh, if he knows Birth the Perfected Master. Birth the Perfected 41 CHAPTER TWO • THE ARTS OF THE DEAD Master creates a meat-body like Embody, except that it has the ghost’s full Ability scores. The flesh that Birth the Perfected Master creates reflects the ghost’s idealized selfimage. The ghost may split six dots among the following Attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Stamina and Appearance. This body is created stark naked, and it lasts for five minutes for each success that the player achieves on a Valor + Occult roll. UNENDING REBIRTH Cost: 8 motes, 1 Willpower Duration: One turn per success Type: Simple Minimum Valor: 4 Minimum Essence: 4 Prerequisite Charms: Birth the Warrior Form, Birth the Perfected Master The ghost experiences his first birth in Creation, and his second birth comes when he enters the Underworld as one of the Restless Dead. This Arcanos allows the ghost to flicker back and forth between living and ghostly forms. Use of this Charm does not permit a ghost to take on a flesh form — in order to do that, he must use Materialize, Weighted With the Anchor of Flesh (see Exalted: The Abyssals) or one of the other Arcanoi in this tree. However, once manifest in a physical form, Unending Rebirth allows him to switch from immaterial to physical and back. The ghost can only activate this Charm once he is manifested, and it requires a Wits + Occult roll. If that roll succeeds, he may change back and forth from manifest to immaterial as he wishes until the duration of Unending Rebirth (or his manifestation Charm) expires. Each switch from flesh to ghost or back requires 1 mote of Essence and is a simple action. A “switch” of this nature does not terminate a manifestation Arcanos. For Example: The long-dead Master Cotep, manifest to visit his namesake in a village in the South, finds himself surrounded by angry villagers. He is already manifest in Creation. Cotep spends 8 motes and 1 Willpower (and his player rolls Wits + Occult) to activate Unending Rebirth, and he becomes immaterial. He runs through the wall of his namesake’s hut and past his foes. The next turn, he spends another mote to rematerialize and fight on his own terms. A few turns later, things are going badly, so he spends another mote to dematerialize and run for safety. CONJURE THE DEFEATED VESSEL Cost: 5 motes Duration: One hour per success Type: Simple Minimum Conviction: 3 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Pole the Black Depths, Tinker’s Body
EXALTED • BOOK OF BONE AND EBONY Conjure the Defeated Vessel allows a ghost to bring a single ship, regardless of size, from the Underworld into Creation. Ordinarily, a ship crossing into Creation from a shadowland becomes intangible, just as ghosts do. Conjure the Defeated Vessel is used once the ship has entered the physical realm, and it makes the boat fully physical. The ghost’s player must roll Intelligence + Sail, and the boat remains fully physical for one hour per success. The ghost may spend additional Essence and his player reroll the Charm’s duration at any time — the duration of Conjure the Defeated Vessel is measured from that point onward and uses the new roll (in other words, if the Arcanos still has three hours duration left to it and the ghost spends 5 motes of Essence and his player rerolls, getting four successes, the boat will stay physical for another four hours, not seven). Essence spent activating this Charm is committed until the effect’s duration expires, so ghosts will be drained of Essence if they attempt to maintain it overlong. The ship’s Traits are all just as they would be in the Underworld (in other words, the same as any other boat of the same type and materials in Creation). It is considered to be intact (despite any appearances to the contrary) and has all its health levels (unless it suffers from unrepaired damage from the Underworld, in which case, it retains that damage). Once so manifested, the boat remains physical until its pilot or the ghost using this Arcanos becomes incorporeal again. The boat is blasted to ash and dust by direct sunlight (though if it stays in caves, travels only 42 when it’s overcast or is shrouded by fog, it can survive until the Charm’s duration expires). SUNKEN ADMIRAL TECHNIQUE Cost: 8 motes per boat, 2 Willpower Duration: One hour per success Type: Simple Minimum Conviction: 4 Minimum Essence: 4 Prerequisite Charms: Conjure the Defeated Vessel While Conjure the Defeated Vessel enables a boat’s pilot to make that single vessel manifest in Creation, Sunken Admiral Technique lets a lone ghost pull every boat within sight into Creation — within the limitations of his Essence. The ghost’s player rolls Manipulation + Sail, and the ghost spends his Essence. For every success, the fleet can remain in Creation for one hour. As with Conjure the Defeated Vessel, each boat retains its full Traits in Creation. Its weapons work normally, and its hull is considered to be whole even if it has massive ancient rents in its side. UNCONSCIOUS SPEECH Cost: 1 mote Duration: One turn Type: Simple Minimum Conviction: 2 Minimum Essence: 1 Prerequisite Charms: None
