Disseminating the Royal Proclamation

Cost: 10m, 1wp
Minimums: Linguistics 5, Essence 3
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Social
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Twisted Words Technique

This charm enhances any written social attack, ensuring that word of it will spread. A number of copies of a single document may be imbued equal to the Solar's Charisma + Linguistics, and if placed in an appropriate Combo or otherwise allowed this static value may be increased with Linguistics Excellencies. Only a single expenditure is required to both enhance this value and add to the dice pool of the social attack. The imbued documents not only each deliver the social attack at full potency, but the documents together form a Social Unit with Magnitude equal to the number of documents. This unit may be disseminated among the literate population of a social group to deliver the attack, or the documents may be split into multiple units to attack multiple social groups. This can be achieved by posting the documents in public places, or by sending them to leading individuals within social units, but in either case the literate group members will be at least affected enough to discuss what they have read in the hearing of illiterate members, and so the attack can spread as long as at least one leader of the social unit is literate.

Prerequisite Charms: Unbreakable Fascination Method

Skill with words can undermine even the staunchest stubbornness, coaxing grudging admissions and admiration by altering an idea just enough that what once was unthinkable soon comes to seem quite reasonable. Instead of 2 willpower, the maximum number of willpower a character must spend in a scene to ignore natural social influence from this Lawgiver is equal to her Linguistics score. This value increases by one if the Solar also possesses a specialty in the listener's native dialect.

Prerequisite Charms: Clever Turn of Phrase Approach, Twisted Words Technique

With this charm, the Solar's achingly beautiful speech is far more important than how he looks. He may use his Linguistics in place of his Appearance in social combat.
