[Exalted, ?] Most High

Grace of Mela grants us a perfect way to take control of the Realm, and it would also make Moon powerful enough to match any Solar, plus their is the possibility of her having a new Dynasty, all with the power of the Shogun Bloodline!
 
This vote isn't exactly a landslide. No, it is a hurricane. A hurricane of Mela.

But is that cryokinesis really worth the trout?!

The alternative just temporarily sacrifices one of the pillars of creation and opens it up to more apocalyptical invasions.

so... its a combatant with secondary in combat? isn't that redundant compared to just saying combatant?
Or do you mean:
combatant = personal ability to kill things
war = ability to lead troops
I would assume the later - War charms being those that improve leadership. It's something Luseng might need if we are otherwise occupied.
 
For Grace of Mela, what are the chances that such a large scale disruption to Creation's geomancy would shift most, if not all, of the dragon lines, and by extension the places they cross, causing all magical infrastructure dependent on these crossings to stop working? Infrastructure that might include the network of manses that feed power to the Sword of Creation?

Oops?

It's possible, but probably not. The Poles are at or near the edge of Creation & the Sword was designed as a weapon of last resort for the Exalted host, a 'break in case of invasion that we can't trivially slaughter' button. It would be bad designed if any single attack on a target could disable it.

More realistic negative personal side-effects include powerful Air Elementals out for blood, serious investigations by Heaven into who the fuck is tampering with the basic foundations of Creation, the Bull of the North swearing undying vengeance on the one who desecrated his homeland, and causing Lunar elders to rampage by waking them from their hibernation.

Oh, and possibly Anys Syn accelerating her time table upon seeing how quickly Odyssial's hubris is growing.
 
I kind of think we could redirect the air elementals or Fae and point them at the Bull, though. Maybe somehow blame Samea? It would make a damn good false flag operation.
 
[X] Sublime Grace of Mela - Mela never existed in truth, but ten thousand dragons and three hundred million mortals revere her as a progenitor and saint. The power of that belief can be channeled and harnessed. Though only the heretical and uneducated actually pray directly to the Dragons, nonetheless an Immaculate Dragon, were they actually to live today, would benefit from an absolutely astronomical Cult rating. By working backwards from Immaculate texts and fully utilizing the latent potential in her Shogun Blood, Moon can shape her essence to attain in truth what was once merely the province of legend and myth
 
Hmm.... Double-buff Moon? Yes. But I would like it to be something else than Blossom of the Ice Dragon:

[X] Sublime Grace of Mela
[X] The Star-Crowned Dragon of Heaven


Ironically, I think that most of the voters (me included) are more willing to create a Creation-wide environmental catastrophe than permanently destroying Luseng's self-chilling trout population. :p

Okay, I kid, its mostly the thematics and consequences of this act that are interesting. Add to the mix access to Sidereal Martial Arts (which also includes better mastery over lesser martial arts), and we also give her extreme potential boost in personal combat and some other areas. Peerless Skill alone is already quite hax both in combat and non-combat activities, which combined with Solar-level custom Air Caste Charms would result in disgustingly overpowered actions.

Or as Odyssial would say, good enough for now.

And I would raise also this to peoples minds: as Moon will be quite juicy target/price after this, buffing her personal combat skills even further would likely go a long way in ensuring that she can take care of herself. Completely broken SMA created by Odyssial himself (plus maybe some others later on) seems like a good step towards that particular goal.
