Strange Fire

Strange Fire manifests a censer in the Ministering Spirit’s off hand. At the end of each of the Ministering Spirit’s Turns, the Ministering Spirit may spend 1 Action Point adding 1 Exertion to throw the censer at a location within 7” of the Ministering Spirit. When it strikes the Target location, lightning strikes the spot and there is a quake causing unholy elohim within 3” to Falter:6(2).  The Falter is Resistible using Control compared to the Spiritual Effect's Allotment of 40. Once the Censer is thrown, the Ministering Spirit must spend 1 AP to manifest a new one.

Strange Fire Censer prevents use of other Items, weapons, and shields in the off hand and temporarily replaces any Item currently held in that hand. This also prevents Fighting Styles from being employed, so only General and Ranged Maneuvers can be used if the Ministering Spirit has the ability to use any Maneuvers.

Defiled Strange Fire affects out to 5" from the Target location, but is easier to Resist from farther away. Unholy Strange Fire affects out to 7" from the Target location, but is easier to Resist from farther away.

Relentless Blade

Relentless Blade allows the Ministering Spirit to manifest a flaming sword floating in the air above a location targeted by the Ministering Spirit within 3” of them when initiating the Spiritual Effect. This sword may rush to Strike any unholy elohim immediately as they enter an area of 7” from the Target location or begin an Turn within that area. After Striking, it will return its previous position. The Ministering Spirit gains 1 Exertion for each Strike performed.

The sword causes WearE and also causes Falter as a reaction to the the flames. The sword has 3 Precision and 3 Force. It causes Falter:1 for each Hit, regardless of Stops, and has a 12 Effect that causes Falter:1. At the end of each of their Turns, the Ministering Spirit may move the sword's resting location by up to 3”.

This Spiritual Effect can be maintained out to 12” from the Ministering Spirit. If the Ministering Spirit leaves 12" from the sword's resting location, the Spiritual Effect is ended. The sword’s Strikes are treated as Ranged Strikes and the sword cannot be the Target of Strikes, Spiritual Effects, and Songs.

Defiled Relentless Blade manifests a sword with 7 Precision and 7 Force. Unholy Relentless Blade manifests a sword with 12 Precision and 12 Force.

Bowl of Fury

Bowl of Fury manifests a large bowl in the Ministering Spirit’s hands temporarily replacing any items or weapons. The contents of the bowl represent sins of the rebellious people, an affront to any who would save them. The Ministering Spirit can carry the Bowl into the air and pour out the bowl’s contents onto the ground to a location directly below the Ministering Spirit. The bowl has an immense weight within moving it is taxing, adding 1 Exertion to the Ministering Spirit for every 1" it is carried. Pouring out the bowl takes 4 Action Points and adds 4 Exertion.

Once poured out onto the ground, the earth quakes and enormous hailstones fall within the affected area. The size of this area is 1” from the Target location for every 1” the Ministering Spirit is above the location up to a maximum of 12”. All unholy elohim in the affected area Falter:1 Cycle if not fully Resisting the quake. The Falter is Resistible using Control compared to the Resolve invested by the Ministering Spirit. Those affected get +1 Adjustment to their Resist Check for every 3” they are away from the center of location. The hailstones are resolved like Strikes determining Precision using the Allotment in place of Control. The Ministering Spirit can choose up to 3 different Targets to be struck by the hailstones that deal WearE to their Target with a Force determined using the Allotment in place of Might. 

This bowl lasts for 1 Cycle or until the contents have been poured out at which point it disappears and any objects the Ministering Spirit was holding return. If holding an Item, the Item is put away and can be automatically re-equipped when the Spiritual Effect is ended.
