The Solar communes with the elements and with the beasts of nature, gaining harmonious elements of both. This [[Charm]] requires use of Hardship-Surviving Mendicant [[Spirit]] and is completed by a Simple action in which the Lawgiver spends an hour meditating in a place where the elements are strong and fierce, such as the center of a sandstorm or beneath a massive waterfall. 

Over the course of the hour, the Solar's physical appear¬ance becomes shaped by the surrounding elements. She gains distinct elemental and / or bestial features, though not the benefits associated with true mutations. This ethereal transformation raises her [[Appearance]] by one, even if this raises her Appearance above five. In addi¬tion, she gains one non-Charm bonus die to soothe or comfort any elemental, beast, or Lunar Exalted through the use of [[social influence]]. On [[Elements-Sculpted Avatar]] For those of you who love your Appearance cap-break¬ers &mdash; but only if you are willing to take the side trip into [[Survival]]. Also, just a friendly reminder that someone who wants to play a terrifying character with the Hideous Merit can benefit from Appearance magnifying Charms. Just give them a bunch of threatening or strange mark¬ings. This voids the Charm's ability to soothe aforemen¬tioned characters, and does not conversely give them a bonus to social influence to horrify such creatures.
