Marked By Power says that when dealing with someone in the magical community, all of your social skills operate at +1 bonus. What counts? Certainly Deceit, Empathy, Intimidation and Rapport count, which are listed under Social Conflicts on page 215. What about Presence, which can provide extra boxes on the social stress track and which could be used to give commands? What about Contacts and Performance?
Or is it the context and not the skill that matters? That is, if you are using Scholarship to out-geek someone regarding the fine points of marine biology, would that get you the bonus if you are talking to a mermaid changeling?
