	The Lawgivers were the final arbiters of ownership, and the spirits of objects still bow to their will. When this charm is activated, the Solar is considered to "own" any object that he just stole - be it an artifact, a boat, or something else entirely - per the Ownership rules in the Exalted corebook on page 238. If the object is an artifact that requires a commitment of Essence, the Solar may instantly commit that essence to attune to the object.<br>		The Lawgivers were the final arbiters of ownership, and the spirits of objects still bow to their will.

		+
		+	The Solar Exalted are the custodians of the world - the judges of all that lies within it, seen and unseen. This charm supplements an archery attack, allowing the attack to target immaterial beings without penalty. Additionally, spirits and ghosts that are successfully damaged by this charm must immediately become material if they are capable of doing so, and remain so for as long as the arrow is still in their bodies. If the spirit is incapable of becoming material for some reason, then the arrow glows with a brilliant light, marking the target and eliminating the -2 penalty for attempting to hit an unseen foe for the rest of the scene.

		+	The Lawgivers often found that the enemies of Creation traveled in packs. This charm supplements a ranged, Thrown-based attack made with an explosive weapon - such as a firepot, garda egg or firedust grenade. The attack has its area of effect increased by the Solar's Essence in yards, and does aggravated damage to creatures of darkness.<br>

		+
		+	Often, the greatness of the Solars was such that they could hold off armies with but a handful of able bodies. This charm reduces the crew requirements of any war machines and artillery employed by the Solar for the remainder of the scene, at a rate of one crewman per mote, to a minimum of 1. The Solar can spend no more motes on this charm than his permanent Essence.<br>
		+
		+	This charm may also be purchased as a Sail charm, allowing it to be used to reduce the minimum crew requirements of any boat or conveyance - including airships and the like. If the Solar possesses either version of this charm, then the other version may be purchased for only 1 xp.<br>

	The enemies of the Lawgivers are lazy, and prefer others to do their work for them. This charm targets a bureaucracy or social group - a guild, for example, or even a department of the Celestial Bureaucracy. To activate this charm, the Solar must communicate meaningfully with someone who has at least Backing 5(- the Solar's Essence) in the organization for at least 30 minutes. After that time, he rolls Manipulation + Bureaucracy, adding his Essence as automatic successes. The successes on this roll become an unparryable, unnatural mental attack against anyone in the organization seeking to undertake a task under their own initiative or at the behest of their superiors, compelling them to pass the task onto someone else within the organization. Work grinds to a halt, and the organization cannot effectively resolve or begin any task until this effect ends. Anyone targeted by the attack may spend 1 willpower to ignore it for one scene, after which it re-asserts itself. The effects of this charm end after targets within the organization have spent a total number of willpower points equal to the Solar's Essence x the organization's Magnitude, or when the Solar ceases to commit the essence spent on the charm.<br>		The enemies of the Lawgivers are lazy, and prefer others to do their work for them.

This charm is an unnatural mental influence, which compels its targets (essentially everyone within visual range of the Solar, though the Exalt may spend 1 mote per target when activating this charm to exclude a number of people up to his dots in permanent Essence) to turn and look intently at a location, individual, or object pointed out by the Solar. The effects of this charm last as long as the Solar commits the Essence spent on the charm, but anyone affected may spend 2 willpower to break the charm's effects.
