Well first of charms are not shaping effects, they are charms which are an order of level above shaping or even Solar circle sorcery. If a charm say you die you die, it not a shaping effect it just happens. You might suddenly trip and fall to your death, but that happend after you died from the charm, even if fate records them falling to their death. Nice thing about charms effect happens directly no need for a cause.
Not all charms are shaping effects.
But here, the Charm rips a person's soul out of their body and sends it to hell.
It IS a Shaping effect by every definition in Exalted.
Word of Holden is all spells, are only as powerful as their first circle counter part do to the broken nature of the world. Second circle and up are level of effects are not possible, thou you can develop weaker version of higher circle charms. Why he put Sapphire instead of Emerald is likely just an over-site.
Im assuming he meant that for WoD.
This is a crossover anyway, so the QM gets a say about how the power levels translate.
You arent expelling a Dresdenverse Fallen Angel or Nemesis with something rated to get rid of Exalted First Circle Demons.
@uju32 can you also make a 8xp version of your plan?
I do not mind it winning but I also do not want it to be disqualified due to the change in xp.
Also what is the logic of going after Hollow Mind Possession now?
I mean, we have CHA - 3 and tech - 1. So we roll only 4 dice with no excellency and no buffer against 1s. I am not sure if we can reliably pull it off, especially since the difficulty is at 7.
1)No point. If the GM shows up and says they made an error, I drop Appearance.
Like I said, the plan is built around Hollow Mind and what it does for Molly's knowledge of the setting.
Because information is how she knows where to apply force.
2) CHA 3 + Tech 1 + Stunt 2 at difficulty 7 will pretty reliably give you 2 successes out of 6 dice barring any 1s.
Which will give you a week of coverage. You roll better, you get longer duration, up to Permanent at 5 successes or greater.
And you can repeat at will as long as you have 1 Essence to spend.
And we're taken Charred Sinner Renewal for Essence regen.
With her Essence total going up to 12, Molly could afford to spend 3 Essence every day simply throwing Hollow Mind at various targets until it sticks, and still have 9/12 Essence in reserve.
In 30 days that translates to 90 separate rolls for putting
demons helper spirits in stuff.
Im comfortable with the odds.
