While Toren may activate multiple charms in a turn, Jaida can parry, dodge AND attack at full dice pool THREE times in one round, if she's willing to spend the essence. | | This begins to show basic Solar superiority.

− | '''Toren's eyes darkened, and, determined to kill her, he sprang forward, his fervor pushing him forward with impossible speed, like a tsunami trying to crush her. His hand reached for a vital essence-point on her body, one that would kill her with a blow.'''

− | '''There was the sound of a thunder crack and the flare of essence, and Jade clashed with steel. Her anima explodes outward, the billowing sunlight the color of blood, with Jaida at the center, grinning maliciously, held her sword before his attack, foiling his attempt.'''

− | '''Toren leaps back, taking a defensive posture as Steel Ribbon Warrior chuckles at his back. '''

− | '''Toren snarled, his teeth bared. "I have underestimated you, Forsaken. But I will not make that mistake again..." '''

− | '''Jaida, still grinning, raised her sword defensively, ready for whatever he could throw at her. '''
