Lore deals with the directmanipulation of Essence as a source of power —letting Exalts move it around, or use it in its rawform to attack. Occult, however, deals with Essencein use — in spirits, in talismans, in manses or inthe stars.Specifically, Occult is the thaumaturgical ability;it represents knowledge of the natural magicalprocesses which abound in Creation. Solar OccultCharms, therefore, should be capable of branchinginto any field which thaumaturgy deals with. Theexisting Solar Occult Charms deal primarily withthe binding and attacking of spirits — an elementof thaumaturgy — but there are others which couldbe represented as well. Geomancy is an obviouschoice.ABYSSAL EQUIVALENTSThe Abyssal Exalted possess Shadowlands andLabyrinth Circle Necromancy, Charms which areexplicitly available to the Solar Exalted.
