On second thought a Permanent type isn't appropriate. Revising everything we have:Name and fluff aren't quite correct. It needs to be more about "madness is just a greater truth lowly people cannot understand".
Okay, I went ahead and did what I should have done long ago:
(Insert Appropriate Name)
Cost: —; Mins: Essence 2; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: None
Only Oramus defines the boundaries of his own existence. The effects of this Charm are identical to the effects of both the Solar Charms Integrity-Protecting Prana and Destiny-Manifesting Method (Exalted, p.p. XX), except they are always active and other characters cannot use a stunt to remove the penalty to their rolled Shaping effects.
Integrity-Protecting Prana
Cost: 5m, 1wp; Mins: Integrity 1, Essence 1; Type: Reflexive (Step 2)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Mirror (Undying Stagnation Defense)
Duration: One day
Prerequisite Charms: None
Required for Charms: Destiny-Manifesting Method, Truth Shines Through
The Sun's Chosen define their own reality. This Charm protects the character from any Shaping effect that directly alters her mind, body, spirit or traits. This includes instantaneous Shaping effects and any new alterations caused by long-term Shaping effects. This Charm also protects the character from any undodgeable, unblockable Shaping attacks. Wyld energy cannot create a serpent inside the character's stomach or turn her armor to lava, whether it's manipulated by an enemy or its own random whims, because these effects inflict immediate damage and the character's DV is not applicable.
This Charm does not protect against the miscellaneous dangers of the Wyld. If a Wyld effect creates a hundred-headed snake monster with burning chalcedony eyes that then eats the character, this is not directly altering the character's body through shaping. Nor is it an "attack" when a Wyld effect transforms the character's armor into harmless gossamer spider webs—simply
an undesirable effect.
Destiny-Manifesting Method
Cost: —; Mins: Integrity 3, Essence 2; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: N/A
Prerequisite Charms: Integrity-Protecting Prana
Required for Charms: None
A Solar forges her own destiny, and none gainsay her will. This Charm increases the difficulty of any rolled Shaping effect (see Exalted, p. 217) used against the character by two. Characters using Shaping effects that involve the character can remove this penalty with any stunt that reconciles the Shaping effect with the Lawgiver's sense of her own destiny. In the Wyld or the Labyrinth, this Charm reduces the frequency of random unfortunate incidents by a factor of 10. There is no cost to use this Charm—it is a permanent enhancement to the Exalt's nature.
Thoughts?
Oramus ME: similar to Adorjan ME, you can inflict a target with a Derangement with value equal or lower than (stunt) points.
First Charm: E2 Permanent. Derangements are Obvious to the Infernal, reduce the MDV by the total points of Derangements the target has, and adds (Essence) to the Difficulty roll to Read Motivation against him. However, as result he suffers an external penalty of (Essence) when trying to explain her motives or the reasons of his actions to others.
Second Charm: E2. Like Integrity-Protecting Prana and Destiny-Manifesting Method. Initial cost is 5m and 1wp, but the 1wp is waived when the Infernal reach E3. A second repurchase extends the duration to Indefinite.
