The might of the Lawgivers supports the heavens. The Solar's body surges with impossible power as he exerts his strength. This Charm supplements a Willpower roll to enhance a Feat of Strength. Every die in the roll comes up a success. Moreover, the character suffers no internal penalties of any kind on either the Willpower roll or the associated Feat of Strength.

This Charm functions similarly to a Feat of Strength to break through a closed or barricaded portal, but it takes only a matter of seconds.
