Yes, you even have a merit that lets you grab one from your dreams once per story
Check the character sheet
Not ancient sorcery. The linear sorcery from the sorcerers revised crusade.
Hedge magic? I'll have to read the book and see if it fits the world-building, but in principle I could see Molly go that way, learn to crudely shape essence into lesser effecs as well as proper Ancient Sorcery
Its really exp inefficient but i thin enchanting and alchemy would be a fun paths to take.

A.N. It is done. Behold!
Shintai: Demon-Emperor Shintai
-Strength +3, Dexterity +2, Stamina +3, Appearance 0
Demonic Aspect:
-Demon Armor: +2 Soak
-Flight: The ability to fly
-Hardened Devil Body: +3 Bruised Health levels
-Hardiness (Heat): Immunity to heat of any kind.
Appearance:
-The Final Form of the Conqueror of Hell appears to be a giant sixteen-foot-tall viridian sun in the shape of a burning, lidless eye glowing with sickly green light. The eye is surrounded by 4 rings that layer its upper half in an asymmetrical arc, making it as if the eye tracks the movement of everyone under its baleful glare. Each ring is adorned with ever-changing, multi-hued fractal feathers that sprout off each ring like willow branches with crystalline quality. Underneath the burning eye is a tripod in the shape of three titanic millipedes, their skin shimmers with volcanic glass sheen and at their tip are mandibles that act as the eye's hand. And upon a maw was grasped an obsidian Macuahuitl-blade that seeps all light into it.
Sequence:
The Demon Empress closes her eyes as she is enveloped by a vast ball of green fire crowned by eight rings of brass. Each ring holds eight mouths, each containing eight vicious fangs.
The rings lazily rotate and spin about the fire until it coalesces into the form of a giant green all-seeing eye, which never moves but gazes in all directions regardless. To any and everyone around her, the empress is always staring directly into their eyes.
When the empress chooses to draw her sword and spread her wings, her rings begin to spin so quickly that they blur and sing demonic praises in an ancient tongue to the glory of their master.
In a fraction of a second eight of her sixty-four mouths yawn so wide that they split their rings, sending them shooting out spinward at specific locations around the eye.
As their praises peak the seven mouths on each once crown slam closed their jaws and swallow themselves whole, allowing each one to reform to reflect its new purpose.
One crown grows sharp and sprouts jagged fangs, forming a brazen Macuahuitl-blade dripping with nuclear venom and spite.
Four are positioned along the upper half of the eye, such that a trick of perspective (and essence) make them appear as asymmetric arcs framing the gaze of the empress in all directions. An illusion enhanced by skeletal frame of fractal feathers grown from each wing's broken fangs.
The final three orbit beneath the eye as a tripod, segmenting into what appears to be titanic millipedes of volcanic glass with almost delicate grasping mandibles.
Unbound by its crown, the lidless eye grows brighter and seems to glare at the world around it.
In-Effect:
-The rings of the eye encircle one another, flaming the burning eye with sight-searing incandescence as the wings hymns notes of needle-ice being twisted and crushed to the ears of those that can hear. The burning eye's flame licks and spews out gouts of nuclear fire. The eye propels itself in disobedience of gravity and its motion controlled by its will. The millipedes act as the limbs for the eye and they undulate and billow out with languid motions. Each chittering leg writhes voices of blandishments that exult the Infernal's glory and whispers voices that seed apostasies and schism. Unbound by the physical restraint of its Crown, the eye fills the mind of those who beheld it in their sight. Never sufficient to learn something new, or confirm something suspected, but always just enough to draw the mind to questions that could have been asked and truths that could be known. And the sword seems to gorge upon all sources of light into eternal frost and darkness.
As the Infernal battles, she uses her many rings to protect herself against harm by layering them unto the path of an attack. She uses her tripod-like limbs to grasp her sword with dextrous ease and reach against her enemies. When she works her sorceries, her flame sputters and dances as arcane glyphs and runes appear in sparks and ash.
A.N.: Thank you @Artemis1992, @BronzeTongue and @CorruptedKing for giving me ideas in making this Eldritch Angel.

Perfect.
The looks on the faces of our enemies the first time we used this would be amazing.
I look forwards to our cease and desist order from the Denarians.

Gotta say though, using millipedes as limbs have got to be one of my most favourite thing about this build.
The greatest and best thing is the iconography Ligier the Green Sun, Fetich Soul of Theion-cum-Malfeas by using this. Which I am all for it!

So, and once people get used to this and don't freak out in our presence anymore, we buy Unbound Eschaton Shintai for something even greater.

Is this the equivalent of the boss entering phase 3

Full healthbar, another huge stat-bonus and a second Signature-Charm.
It's exactly that.
Edit: Also even more Demonic Aspects, so we could grow tentacles, shoot fire from our eye or whatever.

I imagine the look on allies' faces will also be something.
I'm not quite sure how Dresden would react to seeing Molly transform into a great and terrible green star framed by ancient demonic rings of brass and mouths and wings.
I do know it wouldn't be a good reaction.
Nevermind how her family might react!

I'll tell you what they should feel—pride. It's not every day that your daughter could mantle the greatest of God's servants. That she could emulate it in its violent glory is a source of celebration!
I vote we have the slitted pupil expand vercially till it bisects the eye, then have the wings fold up behind it as the millipede hands reach into a space that seems to narrow for them to fit and grotesquely rip the eye almost completely in half horizontally. In the process they fold it completely backwards, inverting the green sun on the limbs and causing an explosion of cancerous green light as they're reforged.
When it fades we're in whatever form phase three takes.

I like tentacles but it doesn't fit the theme we have, what if from each of the 64 mouths came 64 millipedes for a total of 4096 millipedes not counting the already existing ones and the eyes themselves becoming as gaping maws an abyss to look upon and to be looked upon by that if you stare hard enough there's a pinprick of Nuclear light that upon close inspection reveals the form of the primordial malfeas(though not actually him just an image) in all his unholy glory.
Appearance 0 zero is a deal breaker. Need that to keep opinions up and make social easier. Especially for the inner world, where you can keep the form full time.
That seems like it'd just make a buggy mess. I joked about a cease and desist order from the Denarians, but we should try to have better taste than them.
The best part would be his knowledge that she still counts as human.
Edit: though we might be better off without the heresy whispers from our demonic millipede limbs.
Isn't appearance basically unused mechanically?
Besides, we can use it constantly on our inner world, but we don't have to stay in it. No need to assume strategic nuke form while doing anything unless the point is to intimidate or destroy things. Especially since the addition of most signature effects will make it lethal or maddening to be around anyway.

It's a once-per-book form for when shit goes down, no issue with difficult socials.
Besides, mechanically we only loose one point of Appearance and in this system it looks like the stat is barely used.
We can still be as convincing or intimidating as before.

[X] Perturbed, what does the Essene in your soul do? What spells could need that kind of power
If we do decide to don the emerald sun
we should get When the Tiger Breaks Free so we can do the whole "you're trapped in here with me" bit when we use it. Preferably if we use both for the first time on the Denarians so we can rub the fact that we wear their style better than them in their faces.

That would not be rubbing it in at the Denarians, for all their power and their depravity the Order of the Blackened Denarius are mortal, it would be rubbing it in at the Fallen.
