Through a sharp movement, a pointed glance, a whisper or a command to silence, the Lawgiver can raise the Guile of another. When the Solar perceives an ally being targeted by a Guile-piercing effect, she may use this Charm to reflexively raise his Guile. This Charm is facilitated by the urgency of the Lawgiver's stunt: if she glares or makes a cutting gesture, her ally's Guile is raised by a single point. If she distracts him from speaking through means both dubious and clever, his Guile is raised by two. If she slaps him full on in the face, his Guile is raised by three.
