The Titan Ascending, Part I

Sorcerous Enlightenment of Ivory Eyes
Cost: --; Min: Essence 3; Type: Permanent

Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: First Ivory Eyes Excellency

Sorcerers initiated in the magic of Ivory Eyes learn that enlightenment is power, and with that power comes the duty to spread enlightenment. Whenever they cast a spell that would target themselves, they may instead touch another and make them the target of the spell, though all calculations based on Attributes, Essence, and other traits depend on the sorcerer's ratings. It is a curious side-effecting of this beneficence that the target may later learn the spell that affected them, using their own experience with the enchantment as a tutor. In return, a sorcerer initiated through the enlightenment of Ivory Eyes...

Prerequisite Charms: Sorcerous Enlightenment of Ivory Eyes

Ivory Eyes was once mortal, and so she understands that the bindings of affection and esteem can join mortals in ways more complex than even the most intricate geomancy. Whenever the sorcerer casts a spell that benefits from the enhancement the Sorcerous Enlightenment of Ivory Eyes, she may spend a Compassion channel to strengthen a mutual Intimacy with her target into an Arcane Link. The target and the sorcerer must each have an Intimacy for each other, or for a group that they represent. While the context of these Intimacies do not need to be identical, they must be compatible--love and hate cannot form the indelible connection this magic requires. This can replace any one Arcane Link the spell would normally require, and it also allows the spell to work without a touch. For a single point of Willpower, the spell may target a being in the same realm of existence. For two, the spell can pierce any distance short of the Seal of Eight Divinities.

Prerequisite Charms: Sorcerous Enlightenment of Ivory Eyes

Ivory Eyes promised the people of Lotus that she would be their bulwark against the darkest magic that could be brought against them. This charm supplements a Defend Other action taken by the sorcerer, eliminating the action's DV penalty. The ward protected by this Charm shimmers with incandescent light, a pale aurora similar to Ivory's own. Until the user fails to take a Defend Other action on the target's behalf or the Charm's duration elapses, they are protected as if through the personal protection effect of Emerald Circle Countermagic.

A second purchase at Essence 4+ allows the user to spend an extra four motes to grant protection equal to Sapphire Circle Countermagic. A third purchase at Essence 5+ allows the user to spend an additional six motes (for a total of 15m, 1wp) to grant protection equal to Adamant Circle Countermagic.
