From the fiery valor within her, the sorcerer creates above herself a huge projection in her own image, dozens of feet tall and wreathed in flame, high enough to be seen for (Essence x 3) miles around. Speaking through the image, the sorcerer's voice is amplified so all who could in any way perceive her hear her; external penalties to hearing-based perception are ignored. The projection lasts for one scene but can be dismissed.

The sorcerer can project Performance-based social attacks (or simple informative declarations) through the image. Any social attacks made through the Commanding Presence of Fire gain (Valor) bonus dice. The conjured image is not potent enough to carry through it any Charms besides Excellencies, however. Since the sorcerer cannot perceive through the image, social counterattacks that require the target to be present many not be invoked in response to social attacks made via this spell. Additionally, the sorcerer can use this spell to transmit messages between combat units, counting as (Essence) relays in mass combat.
