Immediate Requisitions
* Cost: 4 motes
* Duration: Instant
* Type: Speech
* Minimum Bureaucracy: 2
* Minimum Moe: 1
* Prerequisite Charms: Basic Bureaucracy Protocol

You know how to grease the wheels to get what you need. Roll your Perception + Bureaucracy with a difficulty of the resource value of what you are looking to buy or requisition. If you succeed, it's for sale / can be requisitioned by following the normal procedures.

Ease Acquisition

* Minimum Bureaucracy: 3
* Minimum Moe: 2
* Prerequisite Charms: Immediate Requisitions

It can be a massive pain to go through a long sloggy procedure to get goods. This lets you cut down the negotiation/paper-filling time to a single minute of work. You still have to make the roll as normal to do this, though.

Convert Currency
* Cost: 3 motes / gig, 1 WP
* Duration: Instant
* Type: Speech
* Minimum Bureaucracy: 4
* Minimum Moe: 3
* Prerequisite Charms: Ease Acquisition

There's a decided lack of moneylenders who handle Celestial Currency to Mundane conversions. Or at least, honest ones. This charm converts 1 Gig of Bandwidth into enough money to make a Resource 3 purchase or vice versa at a cost of 3 motes. (You can also convert any amount of mundane currency to other mundane forms of equivalent value for only 3 motes.) You can convert up to your Moe worth of gigs at one shot.

If you have mastered the secrets of how governments work, it is child's play to turn them inside out with a few carefully placed memos.

Disgrace Bureaucracy

* Minimum Moe: 3
* Prerequisite Charms: Jam Bureaucracy

You have mastered Bureaucratic Warfare to the point where you can wreck your enemies. Roll Wits + Bureaucracy against the Wits + Bureaucracy of the head of an office. If you score more successes, he will be censured, disgraced, maybe even face execution on false charges of your devising; the more you score, the worse off he is.

Turn Aside Bureaucratic Wrath

* Type: Re-Fun
* Minimum Bureaucracy: 3
* Minimum Moe: 1
* Prerequisite Charms: Basic Bureaucracy Protocol

Whenever a Bureaucracy is used to harrass or attack you or if it just decides to do so of its own accord, you can parry the attack with your full Intelligence + Bureaucracy dice pool; if you beat the successes of your foe/the agency, you can turn the bureaucratic assault back on your foe, treating your extra successes as an attack action with that many successes.
