There are generally believed to be thousands of Terrestrial styles, ephemeral as the leaves of a tree, here one generation and gone the next.All Celestial Exalted may create and learn Celestial styles, although some styles may generally require specific regimes to learn them. Though not as potent as Celestial styles, these martial arts may often be more efficient than their Celestial counterparts. Although any Exalt may learn or create a Terrestrial Style at normal cost, many are elementally aligned, incurring a 1-mote cost-per-turn to emulate the elemental Essence of a style's Charm, and many take advantage of a Terrestrial's ability to use multiple Reflexive Charms in a turn. Here is why.Styles By RankTerrestrial level martial arts are the purview of the Dragon-Blooded.
Their power levels vary as much as the characters that might wield them.In and the, we find the first three Martial Arts cascades that are not incorporated into a full Style. Other Exalts are wholly unable to grasp the nature of such Styles' Essence.These Styles are those which do not correspond to the three martial levels of canon, or are otherwise limited to a specific group, that rely on the Essence or innate powers of a specific Exalted type, such as Solar Melee Styles or exclusive Martial Arts, a tree requiring Lunar shapeshifting, or one which mortals might learn. Solars may learn such Charms at increased cost, and cannot benefit from the Sutras that further empower Sidereal wielders, and will find making a style at this level difficult, or even impossible.
These secret styles are the aptitude of their Sidereal progenitors, and it is they who most readily benefit from them. The weaker Essence of the Terrestrial Exalted makes Celestial styles less accessible to them: a supernatural initiation is needed for Terrestrials to learn Celestial styles, and they cannot create them normally.Sidereal martial arts are among the most potent Charms in Creation, perhaps matching the power of Solar and Abyssal foes in their specific aptitudes.
