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 an Activation within 7” of the Ministering Spirit and adding 1 Exertion to them whenever they begin an Activation 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. Corrupt Oppression affects up to Tier:3 holy elohim.

	Class	Allotment	Effect
Oppression	Manifesting Ongoing Self	Fixed 14	adds 2 Exertion to up to Tier:1 holy elohim within 7" adds 1 Exertion to up to Tier:1 holy elohim between 7"-12"
Defiled Oppression		28	adds 2 Exertion to up to Tier:2 holy elohim within 7" adds 1 Exertion to up to Tier:2 holy elohim between 7"-12"
Corrupt Oppression		49	adds 2 Exertion to up to Tier:3 holy elohim within 7" adds 1 Exertion to up to Tier:3 holy elohim between 7"-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 causes 6(2) WearP to any holy elohim within 7”. Radiance requires the Ministering Spirit to have line of sight and the Wear is Resistible using Resolve.

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

Defiled Dark Void allows higher Allotments, lowers Precision by 4, and causes 12(4) WearP. Corrupt Dark Void allows even higher Allotments, lowers Precision by 6, and causes 18(6) WearP.

	Class	Allotment	Effect
Dark Void	Manifesting Ongoing Wearing/Self	Variable 40-80	-2 Precision when Striking the Ministering Spirit 6(2) WearP to all unholy elohim within 7" Wear is Resisted using Resolve
Defiled Dark Void		80-160	-4 Precision when Striking the Ministering Spirit 12(4) WearP to all unholy elohim within 7" Wear is Resisted using Resolve
Corrupt Dark Void		120-240	-6 Precision when Striking the Ministering Spirit 18(6) WearP to all unholy elohim within 7" Wear 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. Corrupt 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"
Corrupt 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 Activation of the Cycle. It will then begin to have an effect at the beginning of their first Activation of the next Cycle. That first Cycle is spent focusing on and embracing the rebellion in their heart. This requires much concentration, and so the Ministering Spirit is at half Guard and -7 to Perceive until their last Activation of the Cycle. For the last Activation 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" suffer 30(10) WearR & WearP. Vile Countenance requires the Ministering Spirit to have line of sight and the Wear is Resistible using Resolve.

Vile Countenance cannot be maintained longer than 40 Cycles (just over 3 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 30(10) WearR/P to all holy elohim within 12" Wear is Resisted using Resolve
