Amorous Seduction of the Loyal Tool
Cost: 5m
Mins: Craft 2, Essence 2
Type: Simple (Speed 5)
Keywords: Touch
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: None
While mortal craftsmen may speak metaphorically of sharing a bond with their tools or weapons, the Solars do so quite literally. This Charm allows one of the Chosen to seduce the least god of a tool or weapon they own, creating a bond of compassion between them and the item. For one scene, you add your Compassion to the maximum amount of dice you may increase any dice pool rolled by while using that tool or weapon. In addition, anyone other than you who wields the item or weapon takes an internal penalty on all rolls made with it equal to your Compassion, as the seduced tool refuses to betray its master. You may only seduce one tool or weapon at a time with this Charm.

Prerequisite Charms: Any Craft Excellency
The treasures and art of the Chosen speak to those who witness them, the subtle elegance of their creation capable of seducing would-be lovers or swaying the opinions of mobs. This Charm supplements a Craft action, allowing you to imbue the object created with a social attack. In order for the social attack to effect a character, they must spend some amount of time, at least a minute, interacting with it in a meaningful way. A painting must be viewed, a sword wielded, or a meal eaten in order to convey the social attack. The social attack is treated as your choice of a Performance attack (if the social attack effects anyone who interacts with the object, up to once per scene per character) or a Presence attack (if it is tailored to effect a particular individual only once, and will not effect anyone else), but rather than rolling one of those abilities, the attack uses the result of the Craft roll used to create the item. The social attack can still be dodged and parried normally (parries against such attacks typically take the form of a disparaging remark on the object’s quality). Relative appearance does not apply to this social attack. This Charm can explicitly be included in combos with Presence and Performance Charms, allowing the entire combo to be made through the item. However, for each non-Reflexive Presence or Performance Charm in the combo, this Charm’s cost is increased by one mote.

Prerequisite Charms: Any Craft Excellency
The Chosen excel at all crafts, even those as seemingly mundane as cooking. Not only can they prepare superb meals, but they can prepare meals from even the most impossible of ingredients. If a Lawgiver commands a stone to become his dinner, it will obey; if he commands the desert sands to be as spices, they heed his words. This Charm allows a Solar to craft a meal using any ingredients whatsoever. It renders them edible and nutritious, allowing the meal to sustain a character just as any meal made of more conventional ingredients. By using cheap and readily available substances as ingredients, this Charm can remove the need to purchase raw materials for creating the meal. It also negates any potentially harmful effects the ingredients might have on their eater–thus, a loaf of bread cooked from stone, while very hard, would not risk breaking its eater’s teeth, and a soup brewed from potent toxins would not be in the least bit poisonous. If this Charm is used to make a meal using an ingestible alchemical formula, the meal retains the properties of the formula, albeit harmful properties are still negated. Any created item (as opposed to naturally occurring ones) cannot be used as an ingredient with this Charm, with the explicit exception of alchemical formulae, nor can still-living beings.

Prerequisite Charms: Craftsman Needs No Tools
Through careful supervision of essence flows and masterful crafting techniques, a Solar artisan can amplify the efficiency of the artifacts he crafts manyfold, allowing them to be attuned for drastically less essence. This Charm supplements a Craft action to create an artifact. The artifact created has its attunement cost reduced by a number of motes equal to half your essence, to a minimum of two motes. In addition, if you craft the artifact out of a magical material that does not resonate with your type, you suffer no internal penalty for doing so. Any Exalt may attune to an artifact created with this charm without having to make a roll or pay an increased attunement cost, even if it is made from a magical material that does not resonate with their type.

The Chosen have perfected the art of efficiency, their efforts bringing forth a thousandfold reward. This Charm supplements a Craft action to create any mundane item. For every mote spent, you may create an additional copy of that item as part of that Craft action. You must still provide raw materials to create each copy, but they do not increase the time it takes to perform the action.
