battle bellow and battle shout are fairly significant to the discipline.

Indeed. We tend to see Charisma as the 'they love me!' stat but its ALSO the 'they fear me!' stat.

Battle Shout and Battle Bellow are iconic to the discipline. If using the all talents to advance option you can probably bypass those 2 talents and feel no need to invest in charisma.

If you want to borrow even more from historical Northern raiders commonly referred to as vikings, Sky Raiders might also have lyrical trash-talking traditions. You could probably file that under half-magic, and even incorporate it into advancement rituals. Want to get to a higher circle? Hope you have some sick rhymes on tap. Afterward, deliver epic burns to Therans without even using fire cannons!
