Prerequisite Charms: Integrated Artifact Transmogrifier
This Charm enhances its prerequisite. While using
the Integrated Artifact Transmogrifier, the Champion can
reflexively alter her anima banner to resemble any other
specific caste or aspect of Exalt she has personally witnessed
and clearly remembers seeing. Even non-Alchemical animas
may be copied this way. In effect, the character uses the ap-propriate anima banner table in lieu of her own, meaning
she gains a caste mark and no longer leaks magical materi-als if disguised as a Celestial and radiates anima flux while
copying a Terrestrial, et cetera. Caste- or aspect-specific
physical features are also copied, such as Terrestrial aspect
markings or the predominant magical material used in the
construction of a visibly Alchemical body. The character’s
specific iconic anima at the 16-mote level and above re-mains distinctive to her soul, however, which could spoil
the disguise depending on its appropriateness to her feigned
anima type. The operation of Charms does not change, so
a “Solar” whose body whips out a pneumatic cannon will
certainly raise eyebrows from those who know that that is
not how Lawgiver magic works.
Use of this Charm changes only anima display, not
anima power.
Submodules:
Metatotemic Calibrator (Appearance 3, 2xp): With this
submodule, the Exalt may choose how his iconic anima
manifests each time it does so, as long as the display is
thematically appropriate to the caste his anima is currently
emulating. He may even use this power when not disguised
in order to personalize the expressions of his own awesome
might. This benefit also applies to Solars with Phantom-Conjuring Performance and Essence 4+.
