Lesser Divinity

Inapplicable

Lesser divinity is a special gift granted by a Deity who believes in or has the first roots of favor with a mortal who carries possible potential. Gifted via a mark and small boons, a lesser blessed is not necessarily a less important one. While very few people possess actual divinity from the gods, there are many more of those quieter types who possess the favor of them in the form of lesser divinity. While for some this may be a stepping stone to further ambitions, for most it is a way of life that does not change past what they inherited.

Those who have been given these minor blessings from the boons are given ten aura like a normal blessed, however with distinct changes. They are not given a holy relic, nor are they allowed to create sanctification. In order to cast, the lesser blessed channels through their own essence. However should their hands both be cut off, they will not be able to cast any longer.

Arvora: Lifekeepers

Physical Changes: Upon the blessed's back a great tree symbol much like a tattoo forms. The mark passively glows a gentle color but becomes far brighter when casting, and its coloration changes based on the season in the realm they are in. The trunk of this tree will follow up the Blessed’s spine.

If the blessed enhances their hearing, they are capable of hearing anything within 30m of themselves, even muffled or outright mute footsteps via ability, as well as any noises of silent wings or any form of flight. If the blessed enhances their sight, they become capable of noticing any form of motion that is not flora related (except for “living” flora, such as active Treants) including invisibility, and the location of a teleportation even before arrival as well as general perfect visibility as long as it is not blocked within their line of sight.

  • Cast Time: Three Turns
  • Duration: Three Turns
  • Range: 12m

Targets and objects will be carried by this wave will begin to drown, whilst bludgeoned by any of the sea’s contents. Attempting to escape this moving sea will require a DC 14 save. For each object captured in the sea, which will be bludgeoning the target, is a -1 modifier (maximum of -3).
    • For each turn the target fails, they will earn bludgeons upon the following scale:
      • One Failure: Mild bludgeoning, consistent with fractures.

The victims must roll a DC13 with +1 for every tier of strength above 5 to resist these chains, or be wrapped by them and at the mercy of the person wielding them. This means the stronger you are, the harder it is to escape. Every turn the victim can make a roll to break free, but the DC increases by 1 for each failure. These chains, for every turn they remain on somebody, inflict one degree of burn, up to a maximum of third, or, after five turns, burn the limb to a crisp rendering them unusable permanently. The blessed can also choose to swing, pull or commit the person pinned to a movement or action for that limb, up to 5m in any direction, and can harm the victim with this ability. The chains dissipate after a single use.

For the use of one action, the blessed can destroy the image, and assume its exact position where it once stood. If a strike against the image would cause any sort of wound above mild, the echo dissipates.

  • Duration: Ten Turns

  • Effect: The blessed takes hold of any weapon that possesses one or more kilograms of a specific material, and temporarily consumes it, turning it into a suit of armor that covers their form.

The pillar lasts for twenty turns, and can be claimable or even walkable to form platforms over areas otherwise inaccessible, and can also be used to trap large beasts. Up to four pillars can exist at once before they start to dissipate.

Foli: Forgotten Children

The victims eyes shine a bright purple when this effect is active, and this ability bypasses all forms of mental protection. For every turn that passes except the first, the victim can make a roll to get back to their senses with a DC 14 + 1 for every turn it continues to immerse them. This ability cannot be casted on the same person again within a 12 OOC hour timespan.

  • Cast Time: Two Turns
  • Duration: Three Turns, One Attack
  • Range: Self
  • Effect: The blessed fills their weapon of choice with a gloomy aura of death. The next attack against a person bypasses all defenses and strikes them incorporeally. As long as it manages to solidly hit their center of mass or head, the strike weakens the affected person by one tier of strength and speed, to a maximum of negative two, but does no actual damage. If the target has been hit twice already, then reap instead strengthens the blessed by one tier of strength and speed as well, up to a maximum of two. Any further strikes beyond the fourth stun the victim for one turn.

• Spectral Soul
  • Deity: Morto
  • Aura: N/A
  • Cast Time: Passive
  • Duration: Passive
  • Range: Self
  • Effect: The blessed’s aura emits a certain energy that makes them one and the same with incorporeal creatures. Any incorporeal creatures, be they wild, feral or created do not view the blessed with hostility, and in the case of profane; they treat them with fear. Incorporeal creatures will still attack if pressured, threatened or ordered to. They can also interact with the incorporeal as if they were entirely physical in nature, and all their weapons, armor and abilities have this extended to them.

(Otherwise, one tier higher than the blesseds own strength.) This ability does blunt damage and is capable of dislocating or even breaking a bone, or denting armor depending on its severity. If aimed at the ground, this coin instead creates a large shockwave of blunt damage within 5m of its landing point, causing everyone to be knocked backwards or even on their butt if facing the opposite direction of impact. This also does the same amount of damage as the strength tier of the enemy it hits, always causing it to be a powerful strike to the victim no matter who it impacts.

The lance begins to burn the blessed as well, causing 1st and 2nd degree burns.
    • 6th Turn: At max power, the lance of light is strong enough to cleave through rock and destroy armor as if it never existed, however comes at the cost of permanent damage to the blessed's hand and arm in 3rd, even 4th degree burns. Any target standing within the 6m explosion radius are given extreme 3rd and 4th degree burns if they are armored, or if their flesh is exposed respectively.

The blessed can learn of the aurum type or type of item used when the ability was cast, or in the case of mana aurums the exact type of aurum used and if it was profane or not. They can also tell an alchemical’s ingredients and the likely purpose of it. In addition, the blessed is granted the special gift of true sight, allowing them to see clearly in any kind of environment and the incapability of being blinded or turned away from an ability with an adverse effect to their vision. True sight also allows them to be able to detect any form of invisibility that is not artifact based.

The user is given the mana of a novice, and their hands for the duration become a safe catalyst for the discipline. The blessed can only have one “Sparked” person at a time, and this cannot be recast on the same person while it is still going. In addition, if casted on the same person within a single stressful scenario, their mana pool remains the same despite the recast. They are only capable of using the base spells.
