-The Exalt speaks, and his words reach out toward all within range of his voice, as a cool drink beckons a man dying of thirst. Each member of the Exalts intended audience feels as if the character is speaking to them personally. For each mote spent, the character adds one die to any Socialize, Presence, or Bureaucracy roll he makes for the scene. Multiple applications of this Charm are cumulative, but the character cannot more than double his normal Charisma + Presence pool. While under the effect of this charm, successes for any Socialize, Presence, or Bureaucracy roll may be applied to any within range of the Solar's voice. Only successes may be made "area effect" in this manner. Effects of Charms that go beyond what may be accomplished with successes, such as "Hypnotic Tongue Technique", "City-Sweeping Speech", or "Mind and Body Forging Discipline" may be applied only to the normal number of targets specified by the Charm. The Exalt may pay the cost for Charms such as these multiple times in order to affect multiple targets.

 To meet the gaze of a servant of the Unconquered Sun is to know the certainty of Solar mastery over Creation. Many who have come face to face with a Solar using this Charm have fallen to their knees, shaking, knowing that they owe their life to the mercy of the Exalt and forevermore pledging their service to his cause.
-To use this Charm, the Solar must meet his intended target eye-to-eye. Then, he must make a Charisma + Presence check at a difficulty equal to the targets permanent Willpower. If this check succeeds, he and his target are taken to a battlefield of the mind, to fight until one of them is defeated. The rest of the world fades from existence while the Solar and his target meet in battle. The battlefield resembles the real world, and each participant in the fight enters exactly as he was in reality. Once either the Solar or the target are defeated, they are both returned to the world unharmed and unchanged by their experiences, with no time having passed and no resources (such as essence or willpower) having been used. If the Solar defeats the target, the result is the same as if a Life-Altering Blow had succeeded. If the Solar was defeated, he may not use this Charm again on the same target for the duration of the current Story.

-The Unconquered Sun has authority over all spirits in the Celestial Bureaucracy, and this Charm allows a Solar to share in some of that authority. Invoking this charm allows the Exalt to speak to any god or elemental whose domain is within range of his voice. The Charm may be invoked only on spirits with a permanent Essence less than or equal to that of the Solars, and on spirits that recognize and respond to the authority of the Unconquered Sun. This charm allows the Solar to command one simple effect that is within the domain of the spirit to grant; for example he may command a lock to open, a river to part and allow him to pass, or a sword to break. The exalt pays 2 motes of essence per point of permanent Essence of the spirit he is speaking to. The essence is committed until the Exalt is done speaking and the task is finished; this may be immediately for something such as the breaking of a sword. To successfully convince the spirit of his authority, the Solar must make a Charisma + Presence check with difficulty equal to the sprit's permanent Willpower. This charm does not permit actual conversation to take place unless the spirit chooses to manifest itself and speak normally.

 ::To comment further (on the crowd vs individual thing) - I view a lot of the things that you do with Socialise, Bureacracy and Presence (for example bartering, seduction, gladhanding powerful nobles etc) as being things that you have to do individually if you want any chance of success, so in my view of the world a one-size-fits-all "Area of Effect" style of looking at things is inappropriate for such actions, so anything that affects more than one person for such an ability check seems a lot more like an "Extra Action" effect to me. - [[Kraken]] ''who thinks this makes a little more sense than last night's comment''
