Logistics, personnel management, resource allocation, bureaucratic procedures, and regulatory compliance all come naturally to you. You ensure your command runs smoothly and efficiently at all times.

• Command Summoning: You can summon and dismiss loyal mounts and vessels appropriate to your rank, which come fully stocked with necessary gear and crew. Additionally, you can summon up to a company's worth (100-200) of competent subordinates suited to your needs - whether soldiers, cavalrymen, or other military personnel for ground operations. These summoned forces are completely loyal, appropriately equipped, and possess the skills necessary for their roles. They will follow your orders without question until dismissed. Equipment and supplies taken from summoned mounts, vessels, and personnel (including from supply officers) remain even after dismissal.

• Standard boilerplate: this Essence cannot be stolen or modified against your will in any way blah blah blah... you get the idea.
