Prerequisite Charms: Twisted Words Technique

The Solar speaks in such a magnetic and engaging fashion that those who can hear her become powerless to do anything but listen. Roll the Solar's (Manipulation + Linguistics) with (Essence) automatic successes, ignoring the penalty for group influence. The Solar may not exploit targeted Intimacies to lower Resolve, nor may Intimacies be invoked to raise Resolve against this effect. Those who fail their Resolve checks are entranced by the Solar's voice and are held enraptured until she ceases speaking for more than a few seconds. Even characters who don't understand the Solar's language can succumb to this power. This Charm may also be used to ensnare and captivate a reader: if a character reads so much as a single line of writing reinforced with Unbreakable Fascination Method, he must engage his Resolve, and if he fails, he must continue reading what the Solar has written in its entirety, though this Charm may only hold a reader rapt for (Essence) minutes.

This Charm may not be resisted with Willpower. Attack cancels the Charm, but only direct physical danger disrupts the effect. A brave or suicidal Exalt could keep a platoon of guards with her in a burning building until it was fully engulfed, but they would not stand there listening as the flaming timbers started crashing down around them.
