The Solar magnifies her presence to overwhelm a suppli¬cant's senses. The Solar may use this Charm in response to social influence being initiated by someone who desires her sexually or who is intimidated by her, amplifying their desire or unease to such a degree that they lose their social ease and become flustered. This Charm removes (Solar's Essence) dice from an initiate's attempt at social influence. The Solar's fearsome aspect becomes momentarily more terrifying or her best features become ethereally pronounced. This effect is experienced subjectively and only by the initiate. To ob¬servers, the Solar merely inclines to listen. On Unnerving Solar Presence The backer asked for a perfect defense in social influence, and I wasn't able to write one that was balanced. So in¬stead we settled for a less top-heavy effect that felt never¬theless appropriate to Solars and to the Presence Ability. Backer: Tom Huber
