Prerequisite Charms: Underling-Promoting Touch
As the sun rises in prominence, shadows grow long upon
the earth. Whenever the Solar achieves a goal through

those who conspire against her are twisted against themselves.
Enemies who witness her success must roll (Wits
+ Integrity) with a penalty of the Solar’s Essence, against
a difficulty of the Solar’s strongest Social Attribute. Those
who fail become enthralled with the Solar’s wisdom and
greatness and are inclined to follow her and do as she
commands as if they had a Principle defining them as one
of her acolytes. The character does not stop hating the
Solar, but must grovel, cloy and defer to her for (Essence)
days. Occasionally when this effect ends, if the character
was treated well by the Solar, his negative Intimacies for
her are diminished or destroyed and he becomes one of
her true allies.
