The Solar strikes with telling force, burning Essence surging into the body of her target and shattering it from within. On a withering attack, the Exalt spends up to her (Strength) score in motes before making the attack. If the attack hits, each mote spent adds a single die to the postsoak damage of the attack. This strike has the potential to increase minimum damage (p. 184). On a decisive attack, the Exalt may spend up to (Essence or three, whichever is greater) motes before making the attack to transfer an equal number of extra successes from her attack roll into the raw damage of the blow.
