However the Yami Yami fruit is essentailly a tiny black hole already so yeah.

Ace would probably work as a powerful Fire aspect Dragon blooded (probably from his mother, if his father is a Solar).

...I wonder if Garp was using training charms on Luffy when he was throwing him into the forest at night, and into bottomless ravines, or tieing baloons to him and sending him flying away....

So is Ace an essence 4?
 
Come now, am I the only one who sees Zoro as a Chosen of Journeys?
 
I'm assuming its a reference to Zorro's habit of getting Ryouga Hibiki levels of lost and then cuts a lot of people up in his attempts to return to the crew.

Artefact

Many sorcerers consider artefact-anchored spells to be the most pure expression of the sorcerer's skill. In such spells, it is only the sorcerer's will, and the object that they are using to channel and shape their desires. Many of the most basic spells in a common sorcerer's arsenal use an artefact weapon as an anchor, and that is why the image of a sorcerer so commonly features their magical staff or their enchanted blade. In the case of Emerald Circle Banishing cast through an Artefact weapon, for example, the sorcerer literally orders the demon to return to hell while threatening them with their weapon. Many blades and armour made for sorcerers incorporate hearthstone sockets so that the sorcerer may draw power from the gems without having to fumble in a pocket.

Other sorcerers take a less direct route, and instead call on an aspect of the Artefact such as its legendary history or its construction. Thunder Wolf's Howl cast through a soulsteel blade makes the weapon itself scream with such force that men are sent flying, while many Dragonblooded sorcerers cast Death of Obsidian Butterflies by calling on the sword used by countless ancestors until the air itself is filled with the flapping memory of endless cuts and stabs. Devonian sorcerers in particular are infamous for designing artefact mechanisms designed to synergise with one spell or another, such as the infamous Orrery of Va Nelba, from which the sorcerer-king of the land could perform Cast Beyond the Veil of Time by adjusting it so the area no longer appeared in the future it displayed. Demonologists are notorious for their demon-wrought tattoos filled with malicious power that they can call on.

Obviously the sorcerer must have the artefact to hand to make use of it. This is why sorcerers are customarily stripped and searched when they are imprisoned, for fear of an unknown mystical amulet or magical brand they may have hidden on their person that they may use to escape. Wise guards never assume that they have found everything, for in Immaculate stories there is a tale of a wicked sorcerer who hid a demon in his stomach that kept his magical ring safe.

What is an artifact in your games? What is the difference between an Orichalcum Daiklave used to cast sorcery and a Tumbaga sword which doesn't have artifact dots attributed to it?

Is it the way it has a sorcerous effect built in? If it has a sorcerous effect built in, is that the only sorcery that can be anchored to it? Is it that it has some unique, but non-sorcerous power? Obviously it isn't the fact that it's made of an indestructible material, because Tumbaga is nearly as tough. Is the only benefit of an Artifact the potential for it to act as an anchor for a spell?

If you aren't a sorcerer, is an Orichalcum daiklave any more useful than a Tumbaga one?

You know, rather than try to fit all the devil fruit one to one to things in Exalted, I think it'd be more effective to have them basically be the local form of Exigents.
 
The way devil fruits reform after their previous wielder dies sounds like a celestial exaltation in fruit form, but the powers are far to varied to be of a single diety.

Making them exaltations created via a similar method as extingents but using captured high power raksha as fuel instead of a god might provide a good explanation. Maybe this is something Luna governs in a manner similar to how UC governs the creation of extingents. Whenever she finds a cool enough Raksha she may decide to make it into a devil fruit exaltation instead of just eating it herself for shits and giggles. It seems like something she may to.

Making them straight up extingents is simpler but they seem a bit too random to fit the motivations that go into making extingents.
 
Maybe whatever celestials were stuck in this Worldlet cut a deal with a Yozi/Primordial (or a 3rd circle) that was also there. Oh, or maybe this is where Cytherea ends up?

So they act as like, well, a primodial. Devouring any Rahska that come to this world and integrating them into new fruit. Every Devil Fruit essentially being both a Demon and an Exaltation. Oh, and Seakings are their demons.

That, or the 5 Elder Stars (who are either a circle of Solars or Sidereals) set something up to get rid of Raksha at the cost/bonus of taking any sapient gods with them.

Bu I'm more interested in the Void Century, was all knowledge of it erased from the world or was the century itself erased from time?

The Ponegraphs(?) are still around, and IIRC the Ancient Weapons are from that century.

Personally, I think Autocthon just passed by during that century, and the cover up is an attempt to make sure nobody learns of his involvement and/or something else related to him (He brought a Solar Exaltation with him?) that went down.

Well, IIRC there is a Poneglyph on the Moon.
Luna...what did you do?
 
Going at it from a mostly one piece direction, every Yozi, and every lunar, solar and sidereal caste could make a really good mythic zoan
 
She can make duplicates of herself, so why wouldn't she head out with her girlfriend and leave one to hold down the fort when everything seemed to be taken care of?
