The Exalt can trigger its anima banner to fend off the undead, demons, and other creatures of darkness. To Repel a creature, roll Essence +2 as a Block Action (page 260 of SoF rulebook). All undead and demons in the same Zone must roll its Willpower to resist. If it fails, it must leave the Zone or, if that’s not possible, move as far away as possible from the Exalt. In addition they take Stress equal to the amount they fail to resist the block by.

The Eclipse Caste Anima Effect is different from the rest as it has more of a long-term and complex narrative impact than a immediate and straightforward one. By channeling his Anima Banner, the Exalt can magically bind all parties in an oath or contract to abide by its stipulations. Once done, all those involved in the oath or contract gain the Aspect ''Sacred Oath(P)'', which can be invoked or compelled as normal. This permanent aspect  remains until the oath or contract is satisfied (at which point the GM may opt to give a FP as a reward) or until it is broken. If the party breaks the oath or contract, he or she gains the Aspect ''Cursed(P)''. How long the ''Cursed(P)'' Aspect remains is up to the GM, though he or she might want to wait until a most inopportune time to Compel the character to do something he or she certainly does not want to do (“What? You’re out of fate points? I had no idea...”). Once the GM feels the character has been sufficiently cursed for breaking their oath, the Aspect may be removed.

Also, the Eclipses, being the diplomats and messengers of  the Unconquered Sun, are protected by ancient pacts with the Fair folk, demons, and spirits. As a result, Eclipses and their companions may not be attacked by these groups when on legitimate business with those beings. These creatures must honor the code of hospitality unless the Eclipse violates the oath first. Note that this bonus is permanent and constant and does not require any sort of FP expenditure.

The Anima Effect of a Fire-Aspect has no room for refinement.  When activated the Exalt's Anima envelopes them in an aura of essence-based flames, and anyone in close proximity risks severe burns or even catching fire. (everyone in the same Zone as the Fire-Aspect is subject to a +5 ExR attack every round, and suffer initial stress -3 the round after that).  Unfortunately, this power is also a significant risk to anything combustible in the area.  Note that, for a Fire-Aspect, their Anima Effect and Anima Flux are one and the same.

The Exalt can trigger its anima banner to appear larger and more threatening, frightening his foes in the process. When triggered, make a Contested Roll (Exalt’s Essence +2 [+Edge] vs. Willpower) against all enemies in same zone. Enemies that fail the contest must take a Mental Aspect related to their fear of the Exalt.

The unveiling of the Exalt's banner is a horrifying thing to behold. Roll your Essence +2 to set up the block. Mortals in the same Zone that witness such a vile use of dark powers must roll its Willpower to resist. If they fails, they must immediately retreat from the zone the Abyssal occupies, taking Stress equal to the amount they failed by. Or if it cannot, it must move as far away from you as possible. Once outside of the affected zone, it must overcome the block to get back in (and takes Stress if it fails to do so).

The Moonshadow Caste Anima Effect is different from the rest as it has more of a long-term and complex narrative impact than a immediate and straightforward one. By channeling his Anima Banner, the Exalt can magically bind all parties in an oath or contract to abide by its stipulations. Once done, all those involved in the oath or contract gain the Aspect ''Sacred Oath(P)'', which can be invoked or compelled as normal. This permanent aspect  remains until the oath or contract is satisfied (at which point the GM may opt to give a FP as a reward) or until it is broken. If the party breaks the oath or contract, he or she gains the Aspect ''Cursed(P)''. How long the ''Cursed(P)'' Aspect remains is up to the GM, though he or she might want to wait until a most inopportune time to Compel the character to do something he or she certainly does not want to do (“What? You’re out of fate points? I had no idea...”). Once the GM feels the character has been sufficiently cursed for breaking their oath, the Aspect may be removed.
 
 
 
Also, the Moonshadows, being the diplomats and messengers of the Deathlords, are protected by ancient pacts with the creatures of death. As a result, Moonshadows and their companions may not be attacked by these groups when on legitimate business with those beings. These creatures must honor the code of hospitality unless the Moonshadow violates the oath first. Note that this bonus is permanent and constant and does not require any sort of FP expenditure.

The Alchemical Exalted are the Exalted native to the machine world of Autochthonia. Their powers are granted to them by the Primordial Autochthon. They are champions of industry and technology.
