Banner   Essence   Fades One
Level    Spent     Level After   FX
1        1-3       1 hour        The caste mark glitters and is visible from certain angles, and her
                                 Tell becomes prominent. (Perception + Awareness) roll at standard
                                 difficulty for anyone seeing the Exalted to notice her caste mark and
                                 Tell. If the character’s tattoos or Tell is hidden by a Charm or
                                 Knack, they remain hidden, but her caste mark may still be spotted.

2        4-7       1 scene /     The caste mark and tattoos burn and shine through anything placed 
                   20 minutes    over them. The Tell becomes impossible to miss, and her nature is on
                                 display.  Charms and Knacks that suppress her Tell or tattoos fail.
                                 Stealth Charms and other magics that mute impressions also fail; use
                                 of Stealth to hide in natural cover incurs +2 difficulty

3        8-10      1 scene /     A coruscant, blue-silver aura bright enough to read by radiates, and
                   20 minutes    her caste mark becomes a shining silver brand on her forehead. Stealth
                                 is impossible.  If shapeshifted, she is forced to return to her true 
                                 forms.

4        11-15     1 scene /     Locked in her true forms she is engulfed in a brilliant bonfire of
                   20 minutes    Essence, which burns from her feet to at least a foot above her head.
                                 Objects that come into contact with the aura may be left damp and
                                 warped, as if they had been exposed to the night air and elements for
                                 many days. She is visible for miles. The brilliant, steady light 
                                 illuminates the surroundings out to a spearcast’s distance as if in 
                                 moonlight, and is sufficient to read by within a dozen yards. The caste
                                 caste mark remains etched in the vision of anyone who sees it for
                                 minutes afterwards. Her anima power auto-activates if not already up.

5        16+       any action    She is surmounted by a coldly burning image totemic to her person—her
                   in which      spirit shape.  She remains locked into her true shapes.  
                   Essence is    
                   not spent

  • "The giant squid is incredible. Since early times, tales of horror have been woven around these fantastic sea creatures. It is the largest, strongest, fastest, cruelest, most cunning and ferocious of all animals. With eyes the size of a volleyball, it is believed that the giant squid has the power to hypnotize most mammals."
