  • Reflexive Charm use: For Alchemical Exalted, the use of Reflexive Charms (both native and Martial Arts) does not count towards the character's Charm per action limit. She may still only use one Simple, Supplemental or Extra Action Charm without a Combo.
  • New Submodule for Perfected Lotus Matrix: Integrated Array Subsystems (Essence 3): The Alchemical has integrated the Perfected Lotus Matrix into the portion of her Essence network responsible for activating Combos. She may now activate single Martial Arts Charms along with a dynamic Combo provided by an installed Array (ie, without needing a separate Martial Arts Combo) and may even activate a dynamic Combo containing a single Martial Arts Charm and a single native Charm she has installed (ie, needing neither a Combo nor an Array).
  • Replacement: All General Alchemical Charms (and the Dexterity Charm Magnetic Joint Bearings, the Stamina Charms Strain-Resistant Chassis Modification, Subcutaneous Armor Plating, and Exoskeletal Armor Plating, and the Intelligence Charm Imprinted Data Cluster) are excised and replaced with the Charms detailed below. Any Alchemical Charm that requires an Augmentation now requires the appropriate (Caste) Essence Optimized Charm, the appropriate (Attribute) Optimization Protocols submodule, or the appropriate (Attribute) Essence Integrated Charm.

General Excellence: General Alchemical Charms (and the Charms listed above) and their submodules do not need to be customized for individual Exalts, so most Vats complexes keep spare copies of each of them in stock. Because of this, these Charms do not require any training time to develop nor any spent XP to customize. They still require installation and commitment to function.

  • (Caste) Essence Optimized

This Charm functions as the First (Attribute) Augmentation (p. 119) except as follows. The requirements of the Charm are Essence 1 and the user must be of the appropriate Caste. The benefits of this Charm are extended to all three of the appropriate Caste Attributes.

  • Submodules:
    • (Attribute) Optimization Protocols (0xp): Each installation of this submodule raises the required commitment by +1m and extends the effects of this Charm and all submodules to an additional Attribute. This submodule may be uninstalled as if it were a Charm.
    • Essence Efficiency Regulators (Essence 2, 0xp): This submodule functions as the Second (Attribute) Augmentation (p. 119) except as follows. It has no Essence commitment, and it may be used for the same Attributes as the (Caste) Essence Optimized Charm (including installed (Attribute) Optimization Protocols).
    • Essence Empowering Systems (Essence 2, 0xp): This submodule functions as the Fifth (Attribute) Augmentation (p. 120) except as follows.

It has no Essence commitment, does not provide permanent Clarity, it may be used for the same Attributes as the (Caste) Essence Optimized Charm (including installed (Attribute) Optimization Protocols), and its first use in a Scene gives the Alchemical a point of temporary Clarity.
    • Unbounded Essence Booster (Essence 5, 0xp): This submodule provides the benefits of the submodule of the same name (p. 121) to the submodule Essence Empowering Systems (above).
    • Metaconductive Circuitry (Essence 5, 0xp): This submodule provides the benefits of the submodule of the same name (p. 122) to the submodule Clockwork Perfection Nodes (above).
