Investigation

Cross-examination: - 2m, Reflexive, Instant: Roll Per+Investigate vs diff 1, subtracting (Man+Soc)/2 sux. 1 sux reveals target's intentions and Motivations, 3 sux reveals all Virtues, 5 sux reveals all Intimacies, 6+ sux also grants a quick impression of surface thoughts. This Charm always reveals thoughts of guilt if target has committed a crime. - 3m, Reflexive, Scene: recognize any lie and half-truth encountered; add Essence to (Per+Investigate) roll made when opposing other Charms. - 3m or 3m 1w, Simple, Instant: Per+Investigate vs diff 1, subtracting (Man+Soc)/2 sux. Success reveals target's Resources and Influence ratings, and may guess at how many allies the target considers himself to have and how much power he wields through organization-specific Backgrounds. May only be used on target 1/scene. For extra 1 wp, reveal the names and identities of up to 4 closest allies, contacts and employers per spillover success. - 4m, Simple, Scene: Roll Cha+Investigate vs victim's MDV; success means the victim must answer our hero honestly. May spend 1wp to resist for 5 minutes; max of 3 wp. - 5m or 7m 1w, Simple, Instant: Roll Cha+Investigate against difficulty of target's (Man+Soc)/2; spillover successes reduce external penalties on dramatic, social and mass-combat actions taken against the character. May also apprehend direct Motivations of target's actions in any scene where both the Exalt and target are present; more spillover successes gives more information. For instance, 1 sux would show that an assassin is a member of a group that intends to kill the Solar, 3 sux reveal that this group is a Creation-spanning conspiracy of rebellion, 5 sux reveal that the conspiracy is itself being manipulated by someone else, and 6+ sux would reveal that the Solar’s trusted advisors from Heaven have orchestrated the action. For 7m this Charm is Reflexive. - 5m 1w, Reflexive, Instant: Roll Per+Investigate vs diff 1, subtracting (Man+Soc)/2 sux. Success forces target to declare his price; meeting the price makes the target loyal as a Servitude effect and they must spend 1 wp to act in a disloyal manner. This lasts until our hero betrays the bargain or spends 10wp to behave disloyally.

Medicine

Diagnosis - 1m, Reflexive, Instant: determine which traits and symptoms of the patient are medically related. With a 5 long tick Per+Medicine roll it protects perfectly against misdiagnosis. With enough information, can accurately identify each condition affecting the patient including its source and other effects. Without enough information, the Solar knows his information is incomplete.

Treatment - Permanent: all attempts to treat Poison, Sickness and Crippling effects are considered supernatural. 1 sux on any roll to treat ordinarily incurable Poison, Sickness and Crippling effects lets the Solar spend 5m to banish said effect. This treatment takes 20 min /1 hour / 1 hour unless sped by a stunt or a Charm. Recovering from otherwise incurable Crippling effects (amputation, blindness) takes several days. - (1m 1w), Permanent: neutralize all mundane poisons and disease not currently afflicting people within 4 yards. Spend 1m 1w to flare anima to 11-15 mote level and expand cleansing radius to 20 yards. Enhanced aura will also cleanse magical poisons and diseases not currently afflicting people provided Solar rolls above the Toxicity or Morbidity on Essence+Medicine. - 1-4m, Simple, 4 hours: negate penalties from Poison, Crippling, Sickness or fatigue effects equal to the motes paid. Motes may be committed from the patient's pool rather than the Solar's (he still has to pay the cost). - 2m, Supplemental, Instant: ignore all penalties for not having medical tools, supplies or poor conditions. - 3-5m 1w, Simple, Instant: treat a group of Mag 1-3 simultaneously, multiplying the time required for treatment by the Magnitude of the unit. - 7m, Simple, Instant: complete a Medicine-based dramatic action of up to 1 hour in 7 ticks. - 10m, Supplemental, end of day: roll Int + Medicine; number of successes are number of HLs recovered when treatment completes. If target rested, regain additional 4 HLs. Replaces results of normal Medicine roll. - 10m, Simple, Instant: after 1 hour of psychoanalysis or psychotherapy, target and remove any one derangement from the patient's mind, regardless of source. Also, build an Intimacy to a memory in the target's life, as long as the Intimacy is intact, the derangement may not be reacquired, nor may the memory be altered, poisoned, removed or corrupted.

Occult

When attacking: - 1m/3m, Supplemental, Instant/Scene: may strike spirits, demat or not, and do agg damage to them. When using 3m version, may activate Ghost-Eating Blow as non-Charm action. - 2m, Reflexive, Instant: after damaging/dissipating a spirit, drain 8 motes from it and transfer it to the Solar. Dealing the finishing blow to a spirit permanently kills it. - 15m, Supplemental, Instant: may attack any Obvious sorcery, necromancy or Sorcerous-keyword Charm effect with any combat ability. If effect does not have a discrete form, must atack the center of the AoE, which hs a PDV of Spell Circle x3 or Essence+2 for Sorcerous Charms. Successfully attacking a spell or Charm in this fashion destroys it as per the weakest level of countermagic which can negate it, and refunds (Spell's Circle x4) or (Charm's Min. Essence +2) motes for doing so. May be comboed with any ability.

Sensory enhancements: - 3m, Reflexive, Scene: see/hear/smell/touch demat spirits. - (1m), Permanent, Scene: when anima is at 4-7 mote level or when reflexively commiting 1 mote, gain ability to see motes, Essence-powered effects and invisible and magical creatures/effects. Automatically recognize artifacts, manses, demesnes and Ess 4+ creatures as supernatural. May analyze things with Int+Occult roll at diff 5 to exactly identify effects of Charm/spell, diff 2 to determine rating of Essence, Manse, Demesne or Artifact.
