After twisting her body into something out of Lovecraft, K'tula found she could not innovate any new Solar Charms that would fit her new form, as Solar Charms are designed for human bodies, minds and souls - her body no longer qualified, even if (BIG if) the rest of her did. Being nuts due to the Great Curse, she strained for greater power at any cost, and found Kimbery's Charms somehow - most likely by dissecting Kimbery akuma to determine how Kimbery modified their Exaltations (similar to how Autochthon dissected 600 Lintha to learn enough about souls to begin making the Exaltations in the first place). After consolidating her research and "polishing" it to avoid unsavory interest, she developed
Primordial Principle Emulation, and shortly thereafter released "polished" versions of her research to the Deliberative.
Primordial Principle Emulation can be used to gain access to the Charmset of any Primordial, IF AND ONLY IF the Solar learning
PPE does NOT have the Great Curse. Solars WITH the Curse may only use
PPE to unlock the Charms of Yozis, not free Primordials such as Gaia.
PPE requires binding and merging with 5 different First Circles of the appropriate Yozi/Primordial, similar to
this version here (but using 5 FCD instead of a TCD). To learn Malfeas Charms, for instance, would require a Neomah, a Decanthrope, a Metody, an Erymanthus, and a Noresore, for example. The XP costs for Primordial/Yozi Charms are as described in the linked version, as are the altered costs for Solar Charms; however, there is no ban against Martial Arts Form-type Charms, nor is there a ban against Sorcerous Enlightenment Charms (EXCEPT The Ebon Dragon's, due to his antithetical Essence).
PPE may be learned (Essence - 5) times, once per Yozi/Primordial; the first time
PPE is learned, the Solar gains an Urge reflecting his Motivation as seen through the lens of the chosen Yozi/Primordial's themes. (If the Solar has the Motivation "Protect Creation", an appropriate Malfean Urge would be "Utterly destroy all threats to Creation".) The Solar gains Limit for ignoring this Urge and suffers appropriate Torment as a Primordial does. The first Charm learned via
PPE MUST BE the First Excellency of the Yozi/Primordial in question; learning
First Ebon Dragon Excellency renders the Solar a
Creature of Darkness if they were not one already. Learning Charms of non-Yozi Primordials requires the permission of the Primordial in question; the Yozis are effectively unable to refuse due to their surrender oaths.
PPE allows development of Heretical Charms (at a cost of 18 XP, training time (Min. Essence * 2) weeks) up to and including the
THotD-T line, with the Solar able to substitute appropriate Solar Charms for Yozi/Primordial prerequisites; for instance,
Unsurpassed Devil-Craft could use
Craftsman Needs No Tools in place of
Tool-Transcending Constructs.
