The Exalt is resistant to all forms of damage, and empowered by them. When an attack makes it through her defense, she may pay one Initiative to draw Essence from deep within the core of her body. The Exalt gains a number of motes equal to half the damage (round up) of the attack before soak, but may gain no more than (Stamina) motes in a single round. Once the Solar has used this Charm, she may not use it until it has been reset by soaking a withering attack of 10+ raw damage without suffering Initiative loss. At Resistance 5, Essence 3+, the total number of motes the Solar may gain per round increases to (Stamina x2).
