The Lawgiver whips her reins and strikes against the world with her Essence, pushing aside all external forces to drive her mount forward with blistering speed. This Charm supplements a rush, disengage, or withdraw action (p. 197), or a single interval of a race (p. 197), adding one automatic success and rerolling all 1s until 1s fail to appear. For four motes, the Solar may unfurl a single level of her anima, leaving a trail of fire in her wake. This flame will not consume the scenery, but will burn steadily, for an hour, even in a driving rain, and does damage identical to a bonfire (p. 230). These flame trails are visible from a mile away, and can be seen by completely sightless characters.
When using Coursing Firebolt Flash, and provided she knows Onrush Burst Method (p. 264), the Solar benefits from the latter Charm exactly as if she were using Athletics, save that she must use the gathered motes to power Ride Charms.
