Intercession

Intercession adds to the Resolve of the Target when making Resist Checks and determining Passion Effects. The Target uses the Ministering Spirit’s current Resolve value up to a maximum benefit of 40. 

Sanctified Intercession raises the maximum benefit of 80. Holy Intercession raises the maximum benefit of 120.

Intercession	Affecting Ongoing Boosting	Compounding 7/12	Target Resists using Ministering Spirit’s current Resolve maximum benefit is +40 Resolve
Sanctified Intercession		14/24	Target Resists using Ministering Spirit’s current Resolve maximum benefit is +80 Resolve
Holy Intercession		21/40	Target Resists using Ministering Spirit’s current Resolve maximum benefit is +120 Resolve

Surrogate

Surrogate allows the Ministering Spirit to switch locations with the Target. In addition, the Ministering Spirit will take upon themself any negative effects that the Target may have. The Target cannot become affected by any negative effects of the same kind(s) removed for 1 Cycle afterward. In addition, Surrogate Restores the most recent Target any time the Ministering Spirit takes damage directly (not transferred from another) for 1 Cycle after it’s use. The amount Restored is double the amount of damage taken.

Surrogate must always be used to rescue and never to improve the situation of the Ministering Spirit. Some examples of negative effects that would be transferred are Exertion, Grappled, Bound, Exposed, Falter, Poison, and any negative effects from Spiritual Effects or Songs. The Ministering Spirit will not automatically take on Conditions due to high Exertion. A Ministering Spirit who recently benefitted from Surrogate and then uses Surrogate themselves will no longer be Restored from the prior Surrogate's effect.

Sanctified Surrogate increases the amount the Target is Restored to triple the damage taken directly. Holy Surrogate increases the amount the Target is Restored to 4 times the damage taken directly.

[For Flesh, there is no Exertion.]

Holy Surrogate		40	switches location with Target takes on all negative effects for the Target damage to Ministering Spirit Restores x4 to Target for 1 Cycle

Easy Yoke

Easy Yoke transfers some of the damage and Exertion taken by the Target to the Ministering Spirit. Damage the Target incurs is divided by three. The resulting amount is then received by the Ministering Spirit and the Target. The remaining damage that was not applied to either is eliminated during the transfer. Up to 1 Exertion the Target receives each Turn will transfer to the Ministering Spirit. Ignored Exertion is not transferred. Exertion that is transferred can be ignored and counts toward the the total Exertion gained by the Ministering Spirit since the start of their last Turn. Unlike usual, the Range of Easy Yoke is 7”.

Any reductions to damage, such as the Target having Strength in Struggle or Resolute Stability, are applied before Easy Yoke is applied. damage to the Ministering Spirit from Easy Yoke is considered related to the Spiritual Effect and not the Strike. Similarly, if the Target of Easy Yoke is Struck by an Epic Strike or suffers an Epic Defense that would automatically lower the Target’s Status or outright Defeat them, the Ministering Spirit is not also affected in the same manner. The Ministering Spirit will suffer their usual portion of the damage inflicted, but that is all. Damage and Exertion can only transfer once and Easy Yoke cannot be chained or bounced.

Sanctified Easy Yoke divides any damage incurred by the Target by four and transfers up to 2 Exertion received by the Target in each of their Turns. Holy Easy Yoke divides any damage incurred by the Target by five and transfers up to 3 Exertion received by the Target in each of their Turns.

[For Flesh, there is no Exertion.]

Sanctified Easy Yoke		24/40	damage to Target is reduced to 1/4 take the reduced amount of damage, also take up to 2 Exertion for Target each Turn
Holy Easy Yoke		40/80	damage to Target is reduced to 1/5 take the reduced amount of damage, also take up to 3 Exertion for Target each Turn

Purge

Purge cancels the effects of all Affecting Tier:1 unholy Spiritual Effects and Songs affecting an elohim. In addition, the elohim becomes immune to Affecting Tier:1 unholy Spiritual Effects and Songs for 1 Cycle.

The affects of Coercion and Obligement are only canceled during the duration of Purge. Purge can effect both holy and unholy elohim and is not Resistible.

Sanctified Purge cancels the effects of and protects against up to Tier:2 Affecting unholy Spiritual Effects and Songs. Holy Purge cancels the effects of and protects against up to Tier:3 Affecting unholy Spiritual Effects and Songs.

Purge	Affecting Immediate Boosting	Fixed 21	cancels T:1 Affecting unholy Spiritual Effects & Songs
Sanctified Purge		40	cancels up to T:2 Affecting unholy Spiritual Effects & Songs
Holy Purge		80	cancels up to T:3 Affecting unholy Spiritual Effects & Songs

Supreme Sacrifice

Supreme Sacrifice allows the Ministering Spirit to choose to become Defeated. If this is done, then all allies (even Defeated ones) within 40” are Restored to Normal Status with full Current Endurance, Resolve, and Passion, no Exertion, and with no negative effects from anything. If the Ministering Spirit has lower than 1/3rd in Endurance, Resolve, or Passion when initiating the Effect, then allies are Restored to only half of their Natural value in that Attribute. The Ministering Spirit will remain Defeated for 2 Days, having -40 Endurance, Resolve, or Passion. On the 3rd Day the Ministering Spirit is completely Restored, regardless of circumstance.

[For Flesh, there is no Exertion.]
