The Solarmust spend a period of ten minutes working closelywith the object; at the end of this period, it gains aremarkable stability of form. An object so treatedcannot be reshaped or modified by any force, beit Wyld energy, Craft Charms, or raw muscle. Anobject affected by this Charm can still be destroyed,given a sufficiently powerful effort. However,more subtle force has no effect on it — it cannot bechipped or molded into a smaller shape.Cost: 10 motes, 1 WillpowerDuration: VariesType: SimpleMinimum Craft: 5Minimum Essence: 4Prerequisite Charms: Edifice-SmashingStrikeEven the most carefully crafted work of men’shands has some weak point — and no object isstronger than its weakest part. A well-learnedSolar can pinpoint these weak spots and use themto destroy objects — even priming them to shatterat opportune times. The character must be able toexamine the structure for thirty minutes, carefullyattempting to locate the most vulnerable point.The character can then apply Essence to that spotin order to cause it to break. Once he does so, hemay set a single condition upon which the Essencewithin that point will ripple through the object,shattering it — for example, “whenever exactlythree people are touching the object.” When thestated condition occurs, the object instantly takeslevels of damage equal to four times the character’sPermanent Essence.If the condition set by this Charm is reached butthe damage is insufficient to destroy the object,further occurrences of the condition will not triggeradditional damage. Any one object may only beunder the effect of one instance of this Charm atone time.INCOMPARABLE DURABILITY METHODCost: 10 motes, 1 WillpowerDuration: One dayType: SimpleMinimum Craft: 5Minimum Essence: 4Prerequisite Charms: Durability-EnhancingTechniqueWith this Charm, the Solar can grant thetoughness of the Magical Materials to any smallobject.
