Thaumaturgy charms for 2nd edition

NATIVE SOLAR TALENT
Occult 1, Essence 2
The magics of the solar are mighty... But sometimes, they may take the time to learn the petty magics of thaumaturgy. This automatically drops the difficulty of any roll involving thaumaturgy by the solar's essence.

RITUAL ENHANCING ARETE
Occult 3, Essence 2
The solar rolls what he would normally roll for a thaumaturical ritual, counting essence for auto successes. The successes can be used to enhance his occult result. Wards deal additional damage. Eagle eye potion grants...

Got it.

Give me 10 minutes, and I'll grab it....

[Accelerator]

Frickin' auto corrupt. But anyway, yes. I'm not too sure about the 'unfailing' part, but well, its a sorcerous initiation that's reasonably reliable, such that people actually search for and use it....

[Accelerator]

Thank you.

So I saw something on sufficient velocity. Someone made a pretty cool SORCEROUS initiation based on Dark Souls.

If you were to make a SORCEROUS working that initiated people unfailingly into sorcery, would it be celestial 3 or solar 2?

[Accelerator]

Woah. How did you get this? Especially the immune to disease thing....

[Accelerator]

When celestial sorcerous workings say 'the size of a city' what on earth do they mean? Do they mean cities like today, or cities in the bronze age. Because there's a hell of a difference in the size of a city like Ancient Athens, and Singapore....

[Accelerator]

Yeah. But its constant, not set by the seasons or time, and pretty darned reliable. Me, I'll put it as... Celestial 1. Depending on the rate of production. Giant millstone capable of making a literal waterfall of flour? Celestial. Small one that can be moved by hand and probably feeds a village? Terrestrial 3....

[Accelerator]

I just remembered something. Someone once posted a jade millstone that could grind stone into flour. What's the level? Celestial 2?

[Accelerator]

A question on impurity hammering blow. Do you think it can be fluffed to turn quartz into diamonds, and amethyst into sapphires?...

[Accelerator]

Add increased soak and maybe hardness?

Basically if a grenade were to go off right beside him, he won't die....

[Accelerator]

Based on this there should be a charm that's simple, and lets you diagnose someone with a glance without touching them or talking to them. Probably Medicine 3, Essence 2...

[Accelerator]

Horror stories. Involving ghosts.



Ghost with arcanoi for imitation of voice and appearance, as well as some for stealth and a deadly attack....

[Accelerator]

Yeah. It's not out of theme for solars to pull conclusions from info that's been badly corrupted or damaged. Like that linguistics charm that let's you badly defaced stone tablets.

[Accelerator]

I've been thinking on how it's a horrible idea to use the internet for diagnosis. And then I thought of the askdoc part of reddit.

How about a charm that let's you talk to a patient or someone else, either via mail or via telephone. As long as the person is diligent and observant, listing down lifestyle, symptoms, and other miscellaneous stuff, the solar can roll perfectly normal as if he was right there with a mri machine and a blood test....

[Accelerator]

When they say 'diagnose a patient'... Does it mean you need to be physically present there? Like, right next to the patient?

[Accelerator]

What happened in the beginning of human history, as the human race became host to the second breathe?

First of all, they had to move fast. They had to expand fast. Majority of humans were slaves, or they were pets of some other primordial race. Or they were just plain-ass cavemen. And as the War against the Primordials went on, they had to upgrade themselves. From crude slabs of jade to essence crystal cannons. They took designs from Autochthon, from the Sun, from the Dragon Kings, to the Jadeborn.

And as the dust settled, they advanced further. Grabbing so much so fast,...

[Accelerator]

On the 'taking away of wound penalties'...

I think it works. Exalted work on different rules from mortals. Different penalties from lacking a skill. No infection. Increased durability. What's wrong with making it so that they can push through pain that would cripple ordinary mortals?

[Accelerator]

I got a headcanon. But...

What breaks if I make it so that Old Realm can be understood instinctively by anyone who hears or reads it?...
