Bursts of starting
A Manifestor's energy comes in bursts. It isn't the steady daily supply a Generator has, so they often need rest between pushes. People around them tend to feel their impact, even before anything has been said.
Telling people first
Before acting, a Manifestor tells the people who'll be affected. It's information, and it isn't a request for permission. Others can feel something coming without knowing what, and being told tends to turn their resistance into room to move.
How it feels
When it's working, a Manifestor feels at peace, having acted freely with nobody getting in the way. When it isn't, they feel angry, usually at being controlled or interrupted. Many learned young to hold back because their directness got them into trouble, and a lot of the work is coming out from under that.
The detail, if you want it
A Manifestor has a motor connected to the Throat and an open Sacral center. The strategy is to inform, the signature is peace and the not-self theme is anger. Authority is most often Emotional, Splenic or Ego.
