Oppression

Oppression manifests an unholy weight in an area of 12” from the Ministering Spirit. The weight suppresses the actions of Tier:1 and lower holy elohim, adding 2 Exertion to them whenever they begin a Turn within 7” of the Ministering Spirit and adding 1 Exertion to them whenever they begin a Turn between 7”-12” of the Ministering Spirit.

Exertion gained from Oppression is not due to the affected elohim's actions and is not able to be ignored as such.

Defiled Oppression affects up to Tier:2 holy elohim. Unholy Oppression affects up to Tier:3 holy elohim.

[For Flesh, instead cause (2x affected character's Tier) Endurance damage within 7" and (1x affected character's Tier) Endurance damage within 12".]

Dark Void

Dark Void produces an aura around the Ministering Spirit that seemingly shuns light. Any who would Strike the Ministering Spirit will do so with -2 Precision. Dark Void also deals 3(1) Passion damage to all holy once each Turn whenever they begin their Turn or interact with the Ministering Spirit or one of the Ministering Spirit’s allies while within 7” of the Ministering Spirit. Dark Void requires the Ministering Spirit to have line of sight and the damage is Resistible using Resolve.

Dark Void cannot cause Precision to fall to a negative value. The damage is dealt only once each Cycle. Radiance is a bold statement and the Ministering Spirit may not be in Defensive Stance while using Radiance. If the Ministering Spirit is currently in Defensive Stance, using Radiance will immediately remove them from Defensive Stance. 

Defiled Dark Void allows higher Allotments, lowers Precision by 4, and causes 6(2) Passion damage. Unholy Dark Void allows even higher Allotments, lowers Precision by 6, and causes 9(3) Passion damage.

	Class	Allotment	Effect
Dark Void	Manifesting Ongoing Wearing/Self	Variable 40-80	-2 Precision when Striking the Ministering Spirit 3(1) Passion damage each Turn to all holy elohim within 7" damage is Resisted using Resolve
Defiled Dark Void		80-160	-4 Precision when Striking the Ministering Spirit 6(2) Passion damage each Turn to all holy elohim within 7" damage is Resisted using Resolve
Unholy Dark Void		120-240	-6 Precision when Striking the Ministering Spirit 9(3) Passion damage each Turn to all holy elohim within 7" damage is Resisted using Resolve

Presence

Presence manifests a strong unholy weight in an area of 7” from the Ministering Spirit. This weighs heavily upon up to Tier:1 holy elohim, giving them Bane:1 when they are rolling within 7” of the Ministering Spirit. Presence also allows the Ministering Spirit to be sensed within 7” as if they were in Melee Range.

When Moving while performing an action, Presence affects any rolls for said action if the character is within 7" at any point while Moving.

Defiled Presence affects up to Tier:2 holy elohim. Unholy Presence affects up to Tier:3 holy elohim.

	Class	Allotment	Effect
Presence	Manifesting Ongoing Self	Fixed 40	Bane:1 to up to Tier:1 holy elohims' rolls made within 7"
Defiled Presence		80	Bane:1 to up to Tier:2 holy elohims' rolls made within 7"
Unholy Presence		120	Bane:1 to up to Tier:3 holy elohims' rolls made within 7"

Vile Countenance

Vile Countenance reflects the total absence of the Most High's light in the Ministering Spirit's face. This Spiritual Effect takes 1 complete Cycle to prepare. The Ministering Spirit must initiate the Spiritual Effect during their first Turn of the Cycle. It will then begin to have an effect at the beginning of their first Turn of the next Cycle. That first Cycle is spent focusing on and embracing rebellion. This requires much concentration, and so the Ministering Spirit is at half Guard and -7 to Perceive until their last Turn of the Cycle. For the last Turn the Ministering Spirit exits their meditation and their rebellion begins manifesting, greatly disturbing all nearby holy elohim. In addition to negating all Precision of those affected when they Strike the Ministering Spirit, holy elohim within 12" of the Ministering Spirit suffer 15(5) damage each Turn to their Resolve and Passion. Vile Countenance requires the Ministering Spirit to have line of sight and the damage is Resistible using Resolve.

Vile Countenance cannot be maintained longer than 40 Cycles (around 3-5 minutes). The Ministering Spirit must wait 1 Hour before using it Vile Countenance again. The Ministering Spirit can choose to cancel the use of this Spiritual Effect any time before their rebellion manifests and will not have to wait 1 Hour before trying again. The Guard reduction and penalty to Perceive are voluntary and are not removed by Boosting Spiritual Effects like Sacrifice.

Glorious Countenance	Manifesting Ongoing Wearing	Variable 144-400	negate all Precision vs. the Ministering Spirit 15(5) Resolve and Passion damage to all holy elohim within 12" damage is Resisted using Resolve
