The power to inflame the emotions of others.
Used by James "Jamey Bodacious" Bailey, Created by Author.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. You must actively and obviously be using sunglasses.)

Jamey Bodacious looks the officer up and down before lowering his shades. Their eyes meet. A pink glint is reflected off both of their shades. Oh yeah. Love is in the air.

"Love knows no bounds, and there are no walls it can't break! The road to the soul lies in the eyes, yet the heart can be seen if you look for it."

Activation roll: Charisma + Bravado
