Deal with matters of Patronage!

SPOILERS AHEAD! BE WARNED!

Advise and assist newcomers or younger friends... and you can become a real power when they rise. Tutoring them will allow you to receive Making Waves, and the satisfaction of one who has mastered their skills.

Game Instructions: The effects of these actions may change as we monitor and tune; and other uses for Patronage will likely open in the future.

Unlocked with A Person of Some Importance is A Paramount Presence, A Shattering Force, A Legendary Charisma, An Invisible Eminence, An Extraordinary Mind

Wiki note: Unless you are a Paramount Presence, mentoring is currently possible whenever the trainee's equipment-modified stat is <100. A lesson will then raise it by 60 or 70 CP.
