The first section is basically my take on Exalted. Right now I'm just copying up my notes so everything's very raw while I put down my ideas. I'll work on editing everything and making it more coherent later. As a result things will contradict the in game canon and even be self contradictory especially since not all my notes are copied in chronological order. They've been typed up without editing to remain as close as possible to my original vision.

Gilius' Staff II

    This was written a long time before the first article on Gilius' Staff and uses the name of a character who is a Lunar Exalted

   'Mureken' despises creatures of darkness and won't suffer their immediate presence. Any creature of darkness who comes into physical contact with him suffers a number of levels of aggravated damage for every tick contact lasts.
   1 level for a normal wounding hit or minor contact such as holding him with one hand (even when wearing gloves or gauntlets.)
   2 levels for greater contact such as being transfixed
   3 levels for extensive or total contact such as a dematerialised spirit surrounding him.

    He and his companion can always communicate as along as they remain attuned. They have to physically speak (when are words audible to onlookers- when he's out of vocal range, when he's in physical contact with his companion?) Other people may be able to talk to him while touching him and be able to hear all sides of a conversation he has with others who are doing so but can only hear Mureken's voice if he's talking to his companion and not in contact with him.
   When in contact with his companion he is visible to them and can perceive the world. Being a spirit he can naturally interact with other spirits even when inert. His companion can talk to him while inert, when he does he makes no sound. When active (in his companion's grasp) does he talk or do they communicate telepathically? Inert conversation with him costs 1wp for a scene. In person they can communicate mentally, although this requires the user to enter a trance and Mureken thinks it's no fun.
   Contact with creatures of darkness causes 1 level of aggravated damage per tick. If the contact takes the form of an attack it must touch them directly hitting their armour isn't enough. If contact is accidental or they deliberately touch him, armour and clothing will not prevent injury. This damage can only be blocked by Charms and other magic that offer a perfect defense.
   A Solar who attunes with him and has Essence 4 or greater may use a version of the Melee Charm Blazig Solar Bolt. Substitute the character's martial arts rating instead of melee and no willpower is required. However the attack can only be used against creatures of darkness (although other people might be hit if he misses.) The attack is considered a martial arts attack.
   The character must spend 8 motes to attune to him although they can commit an extra (Essence x 3) motes which he can use for Charms or inflicting aggravated damage (1 level per tick.) Essence used by Mureken to power his abilities counts towards the Exalt's anima banner display.
    Commiting additional Essence requires spending one scene meditation (effectively inactive?)
   'The Eyes' A Solar can spend one mote of committed Essence to use the Burning Chakra Charm.

    Mureken automatically causees aggravated damage to Creatures of Darkness as he wouldn't suffer their polluted presence.

    Sundragon is inhabited by the spirit (_). He never talks about his own originsbut Gilius believes he may be his incarnation from the First Age, maybe even from the war against the Priomordials.
