Social Influencing Addition

Currently, the description of Social Influencing is stated as such:
Social Influencing is ones ability to manipulate other characters using some form of charm. This has several uses in the form of manipulation. Whether it be to manipulate how an opponent fights, thinks, or to get info from them that the user would want or need. This can be used in a number of ways via their looks, natural charm, or their way of speaking.
While it does not usually seem combat applicable, this skill can be used in many ways that can affect a fight indirectly, including buying time, obtaining information that could be important, or manipulating how a person might approach a situation.
However, there is some problems:

First, it does not address the cooperation skill. I personally feel that Social Influencing should include the capability of cooperating with others, especially considering the existence of Team profiles.
Second, it does not have a defined standard of Social Influencing in VS Battles Wiki as there are plenty of characters who has at least non-superhuman level Social Influencing. The example is that main characters from Romance of the Three Kingdoms are technically all having Social Influencing.

As I don't have an idea of how to make a better-explained Social Influencing page, I'm here to seek for help.

Note: It is a CRT about a potential Power and Abilities change.
 
Are you suggesting a 'Leadership' Type for Social Influencing, perhaps?
"Leadship" is not the best term as "Cooperation" includes "Leadship". By the way, it seems that the P&A CRT is often moving to Staff Discussion.

The ability does not state it must be supernatural in nature to qualify as Social Influencing. It can be either or.

I would not agree with cooperation fitting under social influencing.
