Prerequisite Charms: Hauberk-Lightening Gesture
The Solar armors himself in the blazing glory of the Unconquered Sun. Glowing golden armor manifests on his body as he activates this Charm, taking on a form chosen by the Solar at the time he purchases the Charm. Statistically, the armor has traits equivalent to those of any basic orichalcum artifact armor with a rating of 3 dots or lower. One-dot armors cost 1m, 1wp to invoke with this Charm; two-dot armors cost 3m, 1wp; three-dot armors cost 5m, 1wp.
Regardless of their design or statistics, the armors created by this Charm shine with golden light equivalent to an 8-10m anima display. Creatures of darkness are staggered by this radiance, subtracting the Solar's (Essence) from the raw damage of their attacks against him, to a minimum of one.
For a two-mote surcharge, this armor may be invoked along with an Essence-forged shield decorated with either the symbol of the Unconquered Sun or a depiction of the character's iconic anima. This shield has the traits of a mundane shield of the character's choice, again chosen at the time of Charm purchase.
Players wishing to have multiple options may take this Charm up to (Resistance) times, defining a different suit of armor each time they purchase it. Each purchase after the first costs 2 experience points.

Inauspicious Inner Aegis
Same Charm for Abyssal Exalted.
Adds Mirror keyword.
Prerequisite Charms: Void-Banished Mail
The Abyssal shapes Essence into powerful armor. Depending on preference, he might grow an exoskeleton of articulated bone that tears out through his skin, he might extrude and freeze blood from every orifice into a scarlet carapace, or he might summon "normal" armor out of darkness itself. Unlike its Solar Mirror, this Charm can also create a long flowing cape of blood or shadows in place of a shield, which moves of its own volition to entangle and deflect attacks.
The armor has traits equivalent to those of any basic soulsteel artifact armor with a rating of 3 dots or lower (stats equal to Glorious Solar armor, see above). The cape works like a mundane shield but does not require a free hand to use.
Regardless of their design or statistics, the armors created by this Charm radiate dark majesty equivalent to an 8-10m anima display. Mortals and extras are staggered by this radiance, subtracting the Solar's (Essence) from the raw damage of their attacks against him, to a minimum of one. Exalted are immune to this effect.
Abyssal sometimes call the bone armor the Ivory Blossom Carapace, while the blood-wrought panoply is Crimson Petal Armor.
