==Linguistics== '''Effortless Brush Mastery'''<br> '''Cost:''' --; '''Mins:''' Linguistics 5, Ess 4; '''Type:''' Permanent<br> '''Keywords:''' None<br> '''Duration:''' Permanent<br> '''Prerequisites:''' Letter-Within-A-Letter Technique, Flawless Brush Discipline<br> The Lawgivers compose masterpieces and pen works of sublime subtlety with breath-taking ease. This Charm permanently enhances Letter-Within-A-Letter Technique and Flawless Brush Discipline in the following way: Their type changes to Supplemental. '''Poetic Expression Style''' (modified from Core because the canonical version just plain sucks)<br> '''Cost:''' 5m; '''Mins:''' Linguistics 4, Ess 3; '''Type:''' Simple<br> '''Keywords:''' Combo-OK, Social<br> '''Duration:''' One scene<br> '''Prerequisites:''' Sagacious Reading of Intent<br> Whether the Solar heroes express their desires in spoken words, in written instructions, or through simple gestures, the world listens. With this Charm the Lawgiver’s body language and gestures become pure poetry, incredibly graceful, eloquent and effective. With a single sultry glance, a subtle turn of the head, the lightest caress or many other aspects of body language, the character can communicate as effectively and completely in a silent instant as he can with a lengthy speech. He can use Performance, Presence, Socialize and other Abilities unhindered by language barriers, and he reduces the Speed of all social combat actions by one while the Charm lasts. Outside of social combat, the character may communicate significant messages instantly. '''Unspoken Words Commandment Stance''' (or 'the Anasûrimbor Kellhus maneuver')<br> '''Cost:''' -- (+7m, 1wp); '''Mins:''' Linguistics 5, Ess 4; '''Type:''' Permanent<br> '''Keywords:''' None<br> '''Duration:''' Permanent<br> '''Prerequisites:''' Poetic Expression Style, Twisted Words Technique<br> The glory of the Lawgiver's presence fills the hearts of those around her with joy and admiration. Not serving her wishes and taking every unspoken opinion to heart is unthinkable. This Charm improves Poetic Expression Style in the following way: By spending an additional seven motes and one point of Willpower in addition to the normal effect the Lawgiver may define one Compulsion, Emotion or Belief which will be conveyed by her stance and body language, and rolls (Charisma+Performance). Anyone who looks upon her and whose MDV is less than the successes rolled is affected by the defined influence unless they spend two points of Willpower; this automatic social attack happens only once per scene, unless the Charm is invoked multiple times. Although the effect ends with the scene the memory of experiencing the Solar's presence remains and may influence characters to build intimacies. This Charm may be supplemented by other Linguistics Charm, even if they would normally apply only to the written word. At Essence 6 the duration of this Charm becomes Indefinite.
