Inspire Non-combatants affinity, and Restore Morale from the Protection affinity.

Pushing it a little, and pulling in from different subcults, but they provide some magical support for leadership under threat. I suspect the role-reversal, if it occurred at all, would only be a temporary affair, perhaps after the warrior menfolk get wiped out in a catastrophic defeat, when a Vingan could manage clan leadership to pull the clan through a decade or two to a return to normality. - --
