==Medicine== '''Soul-Cleansing Breath'''<br> '''Cost:''' --; '''Mins:''' Medicine 5, Ess 4; '''Type:''' Permanent<br> '''Keywords:''' Touch, Holy<br> '''Duration:''' Permanent<br> '''Prerequisites:''' Ailment-Rectifying Method, Wholeness-Restoring Meditation, Body-Purifying Admonitions<br> A Solar physician heals not just the body but the mind and soul as well. No unnatural or malign influence can stand against her purifying touch. This Charm guarantees that any attempt the character makes to treat a negative effect not covered by Ailment-Rectifying Method, Wholeness-Restoring Meditation or Body-Purifying Meditation is considered supernatural. If the Exalt's player rolls five or more successes on a Medicine roll for the Solar to treat such a condition, she can spend five motes and banish it from the patient's system. The list of conditions covered by Soul-Cleansing Breath includes but is not limited to insanity and derangements, mutations, damage to Essence, Virtues or Willpower (if it doesn't already count as Crippling), and the temporary effects of Resonance or Torment (but not Limit Breaks). This treatment is a dramatic Medicine-based action that takes one hour unless sped by a stunt or Charm. Soul-Cleansing Breath has the Holy keyword when opposing the influence and Charms of Creatures of Darkness or the Wyld.<br> When used to heal permanent conditions represented or caused by a trait that the patient's player has deliberately spent XP or BP on, such as positive mutations, the Whispers and Unwoven Coadjutor backgrounds, Taint Charms, etc, then the effect of Soul-Cleansing Breath is not permanent. Instead after the initial treatment it returns at a rate of one dot or mutation point per day, or after a single day for traits not rated. '''Taint-Conquering Methodology'''<br> '''Cost:''' -- (+5m, 1wp); '''Mins:''' Medicine 5, Ess 5; '''Type:''' Permanent<br> '''Keywords:''' Training<br> '''Duration:''' Permanent<br> '''Prerequisites:''' Soul-Cleansing Breath, Mind-Shackle Absolution<br> The Lawgivers do not leave things half done. This Charm upgrade Soul-Cleansing Breath and Mind-Shackle Absolution in the following ways: If the patient is willing to be treated the limitations of the base Charms are lifted and conditions otherwise not permanently curable can be fully healed if the Solar's player spends the additional cost. This is a Training effect, allowing the treated character's player to recover the XP points invested in the traits that are lost.<br> An Abyssal who is cleansed of the Neverborn influence in this way may chose to go into Lethe upon dying and is perhaps well on the way to redemption. An Infernal who surrenders his Unwoven Coadjutor no longer suffers its whispering and spying, one who gives up his Urge may chose a Motivation instead at the usual cost of 2 XP. Resonance, Torment or Permanent Limit however remains - only true redemption can extinguish these. '''Mind-Shackle Absolution'''<br> '''Cost:''' 5m; '''Mins:''' Medicine 5, Ess 4; '''Type:''' Simple (Spd 6, DV -1)<br> '''Keywords:''' Touch, Holy<br> '''Duration:''' Instant (Special)<br> '''Prerequisites:''' Ailment-Rectifying Method, Wholeness-Restoring Meditation, Body-Purifying Admonitions<br> Under the essence-charged words of wicked men minds are bent and twisted, shaped like clay without regard for their well-being. A Solar physician possesses the means to help those so afflicted. With but a touch and a well-chosen words the shackles fall away from the patient's thoughts leaving her able to think freely. This Charm suspends all ongoing Unnatural Mental Influence, including but not limited to: Servitude, Compulsion, Illusion or Emotion effects, magically reinforced intimacies, possession, Permanent Charms carrying mental consequnces (for example certain Infernal Charms, Epic Zeal of (Virtue)), artificial Intimacies and Motivations (such as from Unhesitating Dedication), Urges and the MDV penalties imposed by the Solar/Lunar Bond. This lasts for a number of days equal to the targeted character's Permanent Essence, after which all mental influences return. Influences established after Mind-Shackle Absolution was used are not affected, the Charm works only against those effects present when it was activated. '''Infallible Magister's Revelation'''<br> '''Cost:''' -- (+1wp); '''Mins:''' Medicine 5, Ess 4; '''Type:''' Permanent<br> '''Keywords:''' Obvious<br> '''Duration:''' Permanent<br> '''Prerequisites:''' Flawless Diagnosis Technique, Contagion-Curing Touch<br> The Solar physician sees all. No cause of illness remains hidden, no aspect of it concealed. Her eyes pierce flesh and bone and spirit with ease and can pick out a single cancerous cell among untold trillions of healthy ones. Her ears hear the crackling of synapses and the spurting of glandular secretions. Her nose smells all the numberless properties of healthy and diseased tissue, of invading organisms or toxins. Her heart understands all the afflictions of the psyche, of Essence and spirit. By spending an additional point of Willpower when using Flawless Diagnosis Technique the character automatically arrives at a full, comprehensive and correct diagnosis, learning all she needs in a a flash of transcendent insight. If another effect contests the working of this Charm add twice the character's Permanent Essence to the opposed roll.
