Drawing from the deepest well of her existence, the Solar conjures forth a riddle or apparition from her ancient Essence and channels it against a single target. Roll the Solar's (Wits + Lore) with (Essence) bonus dice. The successes on this roll create the difficulty of the riddle or illusion posed to her target. The character must answer this effect with his own ([Intelligence or Wits] + Lore). If he fails the roll, his mind is momentarily shattered, and he loses two points of temporary Willpower. When done in combat, the target also loses four Initiative, awarded to the Solar. If the target has equal or greater Essence than the Exalt, the Solar also gains a point of Willpower. This Charm may be used once per scene.
