Striking the Solar is like striking a piece of iron. For one round, all post-soak withering damage is halved (round up). This Charm must be invoked when an attack is directed at the Solar, but before it is rolled. At Essence 3+, less accurate blows glance and rebound painfully from the Solar's body—1s on a successful attack roll subtract from the attacker's Initiative at a rate of -1 for each 1 rolled, to a maximum of half the Solar's Stamina, rounded up. At Essence 4+, Initiative points lost striking the Exalt's Iron Kettle Body are awarded to the Solar.

Triggering Adamant Skin Technique cancels Iron Kettle Body's effects for one tick. Iron Kettle Body's bonuses may not be used to enhance Adamant Skin Technique.
