Organizations: Charms in this Ability typically Effect an Organization. This can be a political 
party, but can also be businesses, Military units, social clubs, or unruly mobs, as long as they have a 
united purpose, like driving you out of town. Any reference to an organization can mean any of these. 
The ability to effect military Units is why it is given to Dawns, the Business aspect is why it is given 
to Eclipse Caste Solars.

minimum time equal to (the Solar's Essence) hours. A Solar may use this as an Administration charm by spending

Keywords: Combo-OK, Stackable 
Duration: instant Prerequisites: any Politics Excellency

The Solar knows the ways and means by which the world spins and can adjust it to their benefit with minimal 
efforts. The Solar may use this charm when making use of merits, like resources and status to lower the 
level they need to accomplish something, like a purchase. You may spend one mote per level of merit required 
and lower the actual merit needed. This way they can make purchases equal to their resources or requests of 
organizations and allies equal to status and allies without it being a strain or try impossible things with 
only the same strain as an equal purchase or request. each use only lowers merit needed by one but it stacks 
so with enough essence you can lower it further. This can allow Solars without resources or status to make 
low level purchases or requests, albeit at the straining level(Zero = Zero) not that the Solar cares about 
straining their empty wallet or the non-relationship with a group. Straining refers to the -2 die penalty 
for skirting the limits of your Authority.
