Fewer in number then Solars or Lunars yet more unified then either the Viziers can throw themselves in with a dedication towards the groups they are part of. The Sidereal takes on the Policy of a social unit she is part of as an additional motivation for purposes of MDVs, stunts, and the like. She can discontinue the committment of essence at anytime.

Prerequisite Charms: Any Socialize Excellency
Sidereals move harmoniously through many groups. They can spend the morning having tea with the Gods of Peace and then slum it out with some Nexus rabble in a bar. One of the keys to such ability is knowing who is where on the totempole. After spending a scene interacting with a social unit the Sidereal finds out who is a part of it and where they stand in things. This charm doesn't provide information about where those people are or who they really are if their commonly known alias is false. It also tends to find the smaller specific groups before the larger ones. Using it on Venus for example would yield information about who the Incarna are rather then the entirety of the Department of Serenity.

Prerequisite Charms: Left-Hand-of-Power Understanding
Viziers are not the Lawgivers. Entire societies do not change overnight because they wish it to. Yet to think them incapable of influence underestimates their subtle power. The Sidereal must spend several hours trying to encourage a particular Intimacy they want the social group to have. Then they roll (Charisma or Manipulation + Socialize) at a difficulty of the social unit's leaders's MDV plus half the Magnitude of the unit. On a successful roll the group picks up the Intimacy. It costs 5 points of Loyalty to remove. The changes a Sidereal makes are very subtle though and without a successful Perception + Socialize roll at a difficulty of the Sidereal's Essence the group is not aware of this change in attitude for a number of months equal to the Sidereal's Essence. At Essence 4 mere mortals will never detect the subtle hand of the masters of Fate.
Confidence in Action

Prerequisite Charms: Left-Hand-of-Power Understanding
The Vizier encourages and supports a leader and in doing so restores not only the leader's confidence but gives him insight in how to lead without making his people scatter. The Sidereal rolls (Charisma or Manipulation + Socialize) and for each success roll restores a point of Loyalty. If the social unit had just lost magnitude due to losses from Loyalty this will restore the magnitude as people return. If it hasn't it gives the unit extra Loyalty no greater then the Sidereal's essence.

Prerequisite Charms: Confidence in Action, Headstrong Follower Technique
Standing at the side of those who make descisions they keep them on a virtuous plan even when outside forces would turn them to inauspicious ways. An effect which would impose a Compulsion or force a change in a unit's policy or is cancelled out. If the Leader of the affected social unit is hostile or will not meet with the Sidereal then the Sidereal makes a contested roll against the user of the effect on the unit to cancel it otherwise the charm automatically works.
Reveler's Delight
Cost: 4m; Mins: Socialize 3, Essence 3; Type: Reflexive
Keywords: None
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: None
Sometimes its hard to throw oneself into the party. There is a level of relaxation required that some just can not normally maintain...to say nothing of outright lies and deceptions that need to be used at times to asuage an ego. Luckily there are little mental tricks to make that sort of thing easier. While this charm is active the Sidereal count as having a 1 Temperance. If a Sidereal has Temperance as their primary virtue they gain a point of Limit for using this charm.
Blue Shoes Friend

Prerequisite Charms: Any Socialize Excellency
The Joybringers are well known in Heaven for being friendly to say nothing of the reputation of the Cerulean Lute. For all that though people still make time for them and with good reason. This charm enhances the character's sexual skills beyond that of any human. Such is her prowess that anyone who willingly has sex with her she can make a social attack against using her Charisma or Manipulation + Performance or Socialize. This social attack is undodgeable and produces an intimacy of desire towards the sidereal in addition to the effects of a regular social attack. Anyone who has such an intimacy and has had this charm used on them before adds 1wp to the WP cost to resist any mental or social attacks the Sidereal makes against them.
