Divine Magic
Divine Magic
The priest gathered the followers to Talor and felt their awe and
worship create small pockets of energy during the ceremony. Most of it
he send directly towards the divine realms, as per agreement, but a
small portion he was allowed to keep. "Talor is thankful for your
devotion. And I will now grant you his blessing. For we have a confusing
day ahead, and we will need his clarity."
Divine magic is the domain that gives characters access to the powers of
gods. The skills in this domain are the skills of priests and crusaders.
Priests are an important part of any society. They are the link between
a deity and the people. If you create a priest, this domain requires a
great deal of social interaction, you will be seeking out new followers
for your deity, guiding followers and performing ceremonies.
Crusaders are people called upon by their community to help protect and
strengthen the faith. Most crusaders use their divine abilities to
enhance their other skills such as soldering, surgery or even use of
other kinds of magic. Crusaders work best when paired with a priest with
a steady following.

Priest skills and conditions
Priest skills and conditions
A deity is a godly figure who has command over divine magic. This is a
very powerful form of magic. Divine magic works by adjusting the
physical laws of the world around people and objects. To power their
magic, deities need to collect divine charge from the world. For this
purpose, deities need to have mortals representing them on the world,
fighting for their cause. These are the priests and the crusaders of
this domain.
Divine Charge
The energy source of all divine magic are divine charges (DC). There are
several ways to get DC. If you have a Devoted condition, the easiest way
is by gathering worshippers and getting them to pray during a divine
ceremony, to an emblem or at a shrine. During such ceremonies divine
charges are released most of which are send to your deity, you can use
the rest to cast blessings or power the ceremony itself. How much you
keep depends on your devotion. Another way to get divine charge is
through certain ceremonies.
Priest skills
The ceremony master skill gives you access to most priest ceremonies
(not the blessing ceremony) and gives you a discount on such ceremonies.

of these ceremonies is the "blessing" ceremony which gives you access
to blessings to empower yourself and your flock. It is highly recommend
to take the Devoted condition when you become a priest because
worshippers will be your primary source of DC.

Touch up to 4 possessed beings in the next minute and state "I exorcise you, being!". The possession is temporarily suppressed for a time depending on it's strength. Weak bonds might take days to regain control, but strong bonds only seconds. |

| =Details |
This ceremony transfers the blessings to the poor mortal while unweaving them in such a way that it temporarily distorts the link to the entity. |
Divine beings can escape the material realm by simply abandoning their
material bodies which at that moment disintegrates. The "Binding"
ceremony can be used by crusaders (usually during combat) to bind divine
beings to the material realm in exchange for their blessings.

Touch a divine being and state "I bind you, being!". If weak enough the divine being is unable to use its ability to decouple itself from material bodies and flee to the divine realms today. If the divine being is strong several binding ceremonies are needed. |

A crusader can transfer its blessings to the divine being weaving them into the link between the divine essence and the material body, strengthening it. |
The "Unweaving" ceremony can be used by crusaders to completely
destroy divine beings. Without a binding ceremony the divine being will
probably just flee.

This ceremony takes at least 5 minutes to perform. You must sacrifice 3 blessing conditions. |
| =Details |
You take your three carefully interwoven blessings, transfer them to the divine being and unweave them slowly but violently, causing reality to be distorted and the divine being to slowly disappear entirely. This will almost assuredly anger other divine beings. |

Blessings
A blessing is a temporary power, bestowed by a priest or crusader. When
a blessing is cast the recipient of the blessings gets a condition card
from the caster describing the blessing.
Casting Blessings
Blessings are cast during the blessing ceremony (see the ceremonies
section). Before casting a blessing, ask the recipient if they will
accept your blessing. How exactly you cast a blessing is up to you, for
example: you could offer them some medium through which the blessing is
transferred. This medium can be many things, for example a mark of
blood, a sprinkle of water, inhaling the incense smoke or a simple
touch. You could say a few lines of prayer or a few other appropriate
words.
The DC it costs to cast a blessing is detailed on the blessing condition
but "signature" blessings do not cost DC. You want to carry the
conditions for the blessings that you want to cast before you start the
ceremony. If you have run out of the blessing conditions you need you
can always ask a GM for more.
Signature blessings
These are small signature blessings that do not cost DC to cast for a
priest of the proper deity and are usually handed out as a reward by
such priest in exchange for the DC. They can only be cast for free by a
priest of that particular deity or they can be bestowed upon worshippers
if they leave DC at some holy items.

Multiple Blessings
Crusaders can carry multiple blessing. There are many interesting
combinations of blessings. You can have the same blessing more then
once. You do this by applying the numbers in the blessing as many times
as you have the blessing. For example if you have Saint Protection
twice, you gain 1 + 1 HP.
If you have to call an effect, you double the power of that effect. If
you have a blessing that causes stumble twice, you call stumble 4, since
the default of stumble is 2, and you double it. Do not call the effect
twice.

Ceremonial items are items that can enhance a ceremony, either by
generating extra willpower or by generating extra divine charges.
Shrines are especially useful. Priests can set up a shrine at which
characters can pray. The priest can then collect the tokens left at the
shrine. This way the priest does not have to be present to collect
prayer tokens when her followers are praying.
Emblems
Emblems are religious symbols created to carry additional divine energy
for priests and crusaders.

Divine Conditions

powers wielded by priests, crusaders, divine beings or deities
themselves.

blighting ceremony.

The welcome condition is used to create and welcome new people into a

Welcome |
| =Unique Rule |
You are welcomed into the Hallow that the person specifies when you gain this condition. |
| =Unique Rule |
While within the Hallow you can regain 1 DC by spending 1 WP. |
| =Unique Rule |
Taking a short rest within the Hallow takes 2 less minutes (but always at least 1 minute). |
| =Unique Rule |
This condition will expire in a month. |
| =Details |
A hallow is a place of rest and recovery. But it is also a place perfectly suited for extensive worship. |
The "married to" condition is used to interlink your soul with the
soul of another. It also "warns" the divine realms of the potential
for children and makes it more likely to convince to deity to hand the
child a soul. This condition is usually gained after a marriage
ceremony.
|
|
|---|
| =Condition |
Married to ... |
| =Unique Rule |
You can at any time perform a small divine ceremony to determine whether or not the person you are married to is still alive, how far away he is from you and roughly in what direction he or she is. It might take a few minutes or even hours before you get an answer. |
| =Unique Rule |
When a person you are married to dies there is a 5% chance that you die as well within the same day. |
| =Downtime Rule |
If biologically possible the chance of impregnating a person you are married with is heightened from 20% per month to 50% per month if you are trying to impregnate (some racial variations apply) and the chance of stillborns is reduced by half. |
| =Details |
One of the effects of linking souls is that it could cause them to "stick" together when one of them leaves for the divine realms. |
The "promised to" condition is used to "baptise" people. It needs to be
replenished every year at roughly the same time as when you where born
but makes it easier to worship multiple times per day. This condition is
usually gained after an initiation ceremony.
|
|
|---|

A vow is a solemn promise made by a worshiper to their deity, meant to
show their dedication. It increases the speed that the devoted condition
levels, unless you break the vow. The "vowed to" condition is usually
gained after a vow ceremony.
|
|
|---|
| =Condition |
Vowed to ... |
| =Unique Rule |
If you gain this condition write a vow on this card. |
| =Unique Rule |
Upgrading Devoted costs 5 counters less. |
| =Unique Rule |
If you break this vow you don't gain the beneficial effects from blessing conditions and you cannot add counters to your devoted condition for 6 months. If you are unsure whether or not a certain action breaks a vow ask a GM. |
Characters with a vow can upgrade their Devoted condition more quickly.
Because of this, it may be advantages to choose a vow during character
creation. Some deities don't accept certain vows ask a GM in advice if
you are in doubt. The following vows are available but if you can think
of a cool vow ask a GM and we will discuss whether or not it can be
used:
| Vow |
Description |
|---|
| Devotion |
Your DC can only be gathered by priests or items devoted to a single deity. You must spend at least 2 WP every day to regain DC. You can gain this vow multiple times, this increases the amount of WP you have to spend to regain DC by 2 every time you take this vow. |
| Abstinence |
You cannot regain WP, unless it is through something Sacred or through a blessing. |
| Fealty |
Do not knowingly do or cause something that goes against a wish or desire of the person to whom you vow loyalty, even after their death. This person must approve this vow and most be promised to the Deity in question. |
