Anima

A Chosen of Battles reflexively makes the Lesser Sign of Mars for 10 motes. The Chosen’s anima billows outward in a brilliant scarlet that engulfs all those affected. For one scene, the Sidereal and all his allies within (his Essence x 10) yards reduce the damage they suffer from all attacks by one level in Step 10 of attack resolution, after damage is rolled; this effect takes place after other such effects (as from starmetal armor) and does not reduce damage below one health level. Allies enjoy this advantage only as long as they remain within range. With the Sidereal’s anima banner in the 11 to 15 mote range, this costs only five motes. If the banner is fully manifest (16+), this costs only one.
