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 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.

You can surround the zone you are in with a near impenetrable barrier. This is essentially a block action that covers the entire zone, with the potency set by an Affinity roll. The potency of this block action applies to attempts to penetrate the barrier by moving through it as well as protecting against incoming or outgoing energy or projectiles.

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.

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?
