(from the Charm Elegant Patterns of Fate, Sidereals 1st ed.) Sidereals can normally use an Intelligence + Craft (Fate) roll to design aesthetic weaves of events and circumstance that appeal to the various planning committees as means for untangling the snarls in the Loom of Fate. However, shaping these weaves so that they still further the character's personal goals, by the time every one involved sets their stamp on the project, requires a supernatural insight into the bureaucracy of Heaven. This Charm provides that insight. Elegant Patterns of Fate adds up to the character's Essence in dice to the Craft roll and allows the result to steer the course of events. This uses the normal rules for using Craft to plan projects. The character literally designs a blueprint for the future. The difficulty depends on the scale and precision of the design. The number of successes provides a rough measure of its quality and robustness. Each success represents one horrible fluke, one heroic effort to escape the web of fate or one clash with the efforts of the Yozis or Malfeans that the character's plan endures. Many such designs go into any given day's fate, A number of Sidereal Exalted have this Charm. Spirits with the Creation of Perfection Charm (see Games of Divinity, p. 127) can also compete at the destiny designing game. Treat the relevant rolls as explicitly opposed but only to see what happens when two plans conflict, For example, if one plan focuses on the death of Cathak Cainan of House Cathak and the transfer of his power to his son, while another relies on Cainan's support for a joint venture with House V'neef, the opposed roll decides whether he lives or dies. However, even if he lives, his power likely drifts into his son's hands. Even if he dies, House Cathak probably supports the joint venture. Members of the Eclipse and Moonshadow Castes can learn this Charm, but it does them no good unless some one submits their proposals to the Bureau of Destiny. The 10 Crafts
