I figure all the conversation would have to be spoken, so internet conversation wouldn't count unless you're actually using voice technology to send and hear spoken words of the people. Otherwise, other methods of communicating without speaking could work for charging as well, which seems away from the idea of the school.
Perhaps better high level charges could be "have an emotionally charged confrontation with someone" ranging from arguments to political debates to asking someone to marry you, except this tends into Amoromancy territory, only broader.
Yeah, and just cause you can't get charges in battle isn't a huge weakness (to refer to another post without quoting it). It's not a battle focused school, like Epideromancy or Entropomancy or others. It's closer to Plutomancy or Amoromancy or Cliomancy in being away from battle type things, but it is still easier to get charges for it than for these schools (and similar non-combat schools).
Also, did someone mention the paradox and I missed it? Was it in the original post and I overlooked it?
Mr. Teapot
may have read it and forgot.
