SolarBureaucracy/BogMod
Pretender Denial Method
Cost: 10m, 1wp; Mins: Bureaucracy 5, Essence 3; Type: Simple
Keywords: Mandate, Combo-Basic, Mirror(False King's Weakness)
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: Foul Air of Argument Technique
It is to the Solar Exalted that the Unconquered Sun granted the Mandate of Heaven so that they might rule and so should other try to organize and run things they go against the order of Creation. A Solar goes to the main base of his opponents organization and makes the same mudra that the Unconquered Sun did to grant his Chosen their dominion. In so doing the world turns away from the pretender. The Solar rolls Intelligence + Bureaucracy + Influence in a dramatic action to take away their rulership. This may be opposed by those in power. Success means that until the Solar releases the motes the affected target is reduced to Backing of 0 in that organization and can no longer count as a Savant, Sorcerer or Legitimate Sorcerer for Mandate actions and rules. They can still accomplish things by personally appealing to the new leadership but must work through others. This charm can not be used against other Solar Exalted and it is rumored that even trying so angers the Gods.
Righteous Leadership Style

Keywords: Emotion, Mirror(Ministry of Fear Technique)

Prerequisite Charms: Speed the Wheels
Those who are so blessed as to find themselves working under the wisdom of a Solar quickly grow dedicated to their leader. Each scene the Lawgiver spends commanding those under her command in an organization counts as a scene building an Intimacy of adoration in them towards her. Those who develop such intimacies cannot take any actions that would knowingly harm their leader or remove her from her position, unless they spend one Willpower point per day to overcome the unnatural mental influence of this Charm.
Sell High Technique
Cost: 6m, 1wp; Mins: Bureaucracy 5, Essence 3; Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK, Compulsion
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Bureaucracy Excellency, Frugal Merchant Method, Insightful Buyer Technique
Some things are worth more than mere jade. The Eclipse Caste can trade jade for service or service for jade. Even if something is normally not for sale the Lawgiver can find the price. The Solar uses this charm while or immidiently after interacting with a target. The Solar's player rolls Perception + Bureaucracy. The difficulty of this roll is 1, but subtract an external penalty of the target's (Manipulation + Socialize)/2 from the successes on the Bureaucracy roll. On a success the Solar intuitively understands what price they would want for a service or something they possess. Alternatively the Solar can name a price or service and will understand what the target would give for that. If the Solar meets the price the target is compelled to accept the offer. This compusion is a form of Unnatural Mental Influence costing 3 willpower to resist.
