Sorcery: Silver Tongue

Because you might not be able to find this.
I've got nothing today. So... let's go with trying to get my Sorcery formatting up to scratch with an easy spell today, Silver Tongue. It makes you talk good. Let's take a look.

Mechanics

Silver Tongue gives a target the Voice advantage.
It's a simple buff spell, where we give someone a 9 point version of Voice with the mana-sensitive limitation. The ability then looks like this:

Silver Tongue (+110%): Affliction 1(HT;  No Signature, +20%;  Sorcery -15%; Advantage, Voice +90%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Fixed Duration, 3 Minutes, +0%) [21]

This ability, turned into a full write-up, would look like this:

Silver Tongue

Keywords: Buff
Full Cost: 21 points.
Casting Roll: None, use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.
Range: 100 yards.
Duration: 3 minutes.
The subject acquires all the advantages of Voice. If the target already had voice, then this does nothing.
Statistics: Affliction 1(HT;  No Signature, +20%;  Sorcery -15%; Advantage, Voice +90%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Fixed Duration, 3 Minutes, +0%) [21]

Other Notes

A cheaper version of the same advantage that only works on oneself might be only 9 points, and just be Voice with the Sorcery power limitation. Increasing the duration might be a good idea as well. In either case, extending the duration to 9 minutes would be +2 points, to a half an hour would be +4 points, and to 90 minutes would be +6 points. I often skimp on the No Signature modifier, but here it seems especially appropriate.
