Exalted: Dead Waters

So, yeah, based on comments of other people on the pad, apparently we can come up with our own charms and knacks and stuff. So, here's a whole tree of Lunar Knacks.

FORM ACQUISITION KNACKS:
MISCELLANEOUS

Dense Body Method
Cost: 6m
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Prerequisites: Stamina 3, Essence 3
Spending five ticks in contact with a solid, inorganic, mundane material allows the Lunar to transform their body to the same material, and returning their body to flesh can be done as a reflexive action. The character's armor, even Artifact armor, is transported into Elsewhere while the Lunar is transformed, as armor is not compatible with this Knack. The character's Soak and Hardness ratings become the same values as those of a human-sized statue of the material he's shifting into. The character suffers no mobility penalty from transforming into any material while on land, but caution is advised when transforming into heavy materials and entering bodies of water.
This transformation is incompatible with spirit shapes, War Form, animals in the Lunar's Heart's Blood library or any other shapeshifting Knacks, it must be done when the Lunar is in their true human form and they cannot shapeshift into another form.
The Lunar cannot use this Knack to turn to bronze by coming into contact with another character under the effect of Invulnerable Skin of Bronze. They must touch actual bronze of non-magical origin in order to transform their body to bronze.

Solid Form Adaptability
Duration: Permanent
Type: Permanent
Prerequisites: Dense Body Method
Enhances Dense Body Method, Exotic Shape Affinity and Artifact Body Transformation so they can be used in any shape the Lunar holds, be it their true human form, spirit shape, War Form, a creature from the Lunar's Heart's Blood library, and other shapeshifting Knacks.

Exotic Shape Affinity
Cost: 9m
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Prerequisites: Dense Body Method, Stamina 4, Essence 4
Works like Dense Body Method, allowing the Lunar to transform their body into exotic materials, as well as Bronze from an individual under the effect of Invulnerable Skin of Bronze, and the rust-streaked black iron of Incomparable Body Arsenal. In the case of Incomparable Body Arsenal, the Lunar does NOT gain access to the spell's ability to extend weapons from their metallic form, nor is there any attribute increase.

Artifact Body Transformation
Cost: 12m
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Prerequisites: Exotic Shape Affinity, Stamina 5, Essence 5
Works like Dense Body Method and Exotic Shape Affinity, allowing the Lunar to transform their body into magical materials (Orichalcum, Moonsilver, Starmetal, Soulsteel, Jade, Adamant). The Lunar cannot, however, attune to themself, so their body becomes as heavy as these materials would weigh when unattuned. In this case, the Lunar suffers from a mobility penalty of -5, and a fatigue value of 5 as well.

Artifact Body Attunement
Duration: Permanent
Type: Permanent
Prerequisites: Artifact Body Transformation, Stamina 6, Essence 6
Enhances Artifact Body Attunement, allowing the Lunar to commit 3 motes to attune with themselves, if they're transforming their body to moonsilver, or 6 motes for any other magical material, removing the mobility penalty and fatigue value of the transformation.

So yeah, there it is.

Prerequisite Essence and attribute costs might need to be increased by one, and/or mote costs could be increased as well.
