Editing Crickets Conundrum:Devoid of Due Consideration (section)

=EXALT=
''Soulsteel Alchemical''

'''Exalt Milestone:''' gained by punishing the wicked or assisting another character with vengeance or attaining a just outcome. I determine what Connie deems wicked or just. Can also be gained via the ''Rite of Reconfiguration'' (see below). 

* '''Living Artefact'''
You are a machine - as much an artefact as a living person. You can hold an artefact to install one of its Evocations as your own Charm during the Rite of Reconfiguration (you must meet its prerequisites). Once installed, you can use the Evocation as if it were an innate Charm, without needing access to the artefact itself. You may only have one such Evocation at a time, but can swap between existing ones during Reconfiguration. 

 CURRENTLY INSTALLED
 * '''Calamity Trigger''' ''(Cadenza)''

* '''Community Spirit'''
You form bonds with communities that will accept you, and to whose purpose you can lend your strength! Connie gains a three-dice bonus to attacks when fighting to avenge or correct injustices to her community. 

'''Resonances:''' Soulsteel

===ANIMA EFFECTS===

* '''Dark Presence''' (Passive)
Connie can intimidate trivial targets without a roll. She gains her Essence in automatic successes to attempts to intimidate or frighten non-trivial targets. 

* '''Shroud of Fear''' (Active)
Anyone who targets the Soulsteel with a Close Combat attack must make a reflexive integrity roll against difficulty 3 on Step 1 before any other effects are rolled, or the attack fails and must target someone else.

* '''Steel's Rebuke''' (Iconic)
The Alchemical reduces enemy Soak by half her Finesse, rounded up, on Step 7 when she targets them with an attack.

==The Rite of Reconfiguration==

An Alchemical's Universal and Alchemical Charms take physical form as pieces of god-machinery installed in her body. When purchasing a new Charm, the player may opt into the Rite: a ritual in which her community assists in the installation of a new power. When you chose to engage with the Rite, this counts towards '''an Exalt Milestone'''. If you have learnt an Evocation through Living Artefact, you must undertake the Rite to swap it (you may still learn Evocations normally). 

Removed Charms sublimate into the Alchemical's Essence. You can manifestant any you have removed in a blaze of anima if you wish to reinstall them. With access to at least two of the following, you can spend a dramatic or recovery scene to retrofit your Alchemical body, equipping augmentations and replacements:

* Ritual space and magical infrastructure, consecrated by your community.
* Trained attendants, accustomed to the Rite's prayers. 
* A friend, ally or confidante to whom you have an emotional connection (Intimacy).
* Sacred reagents, carefully prepared for you specifically.

==The Great Curse==

'''Incitement'''
* Someone acts against her Major Intimacy.
* She acts against her Major Virtue. 
* A community she has an Intimacy toward is threatened, ignores her advice or openly disdains her help.

When Connie succumbs to the curse, she switches to a Crisis Behaviour which lasts for the indicated length.
