 * R: Voice D: Sun R: Group

This effect is activated by the wearer shouting something as if they were a commander instructing his men to fall in line. It may be used once a day, and has a penetration bonus of +6. As a result of its unrefined nature, it has the following effect absent from Lina's polished version: The effect will dispel if any of the group dies, and the anger of the remaining group will immediately turn towards the ineffectual commander for allowing his men to die. (Base 4, +2 Voice, +2 Sun, +2 Group, +3 Penetration)
