Suppression

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

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

Sanctified Suppression affects up to Tier:2 unholy elohim. Holy Suppression affects up to Tier:3 unholy elohim.

[For Flesh, instead cause 4 Resolve damage within 7" and 2 Resolve damage within 12".]

Radiance

Radiance causes the Ministering Spirit to shine brightly. Any who would Strike the Ministering Spirit will do so with -2 Precision. Radiance also deals 6(2) damage to the Passion of any unholy elohim within 7”. Radiance requires the Ministering Spirit to have line of sight and the damage is Resistible using Resolve.

Radiance 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. 

Sanctified Radiance allows higher Allotments, lowers Precision by 4, and damages Passion by 12(4). Holy Radiance allows even higher Allotments, lowers Precision by 6, and damages Passion by 18(6).

	Class	Allotment	Effect
Radiance	Manifesting Ongoing Damaging/Self	Variable 40-80	-2 Precision when Striking the Ministering Spirit -6(2) Passion to all unholy elohim within 7" damage is Resisted using Resolve
Sanctified Radiance		80-160	-4 Precision when Striking the Ministering Spirit -12(4) Passion to all unholy elohim within 7" damage is Resisted using Resolve
Holy Radiance		120-240	-6 Precision when Striking the Ministering Spirit -18(6) Passion to all unholy elohim within 7" damage is Resisted using Resolve

Presence

Presence manifests a strong weight of holiness in an area of 7” from the Ministering Spirit. This weighs heavily upon up to Tier:1 unholy 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.

Sanctified Presence affects up to Tier:2 unholy elohim. Holy Presence affects up to Tier:3 unholy elohim.

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

Glorious Countenance

Glorious Countenance causes the Ministering Spirit’s face to shine with the glory of the Most High. 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 in prayer, seeking the Most High's face. 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 the prayer and the glory begins manifesting. In addition to negating all Precision of those affected when they Strike the Ministering Spirit, the shining also deals 30(10) damage to the Resolve and Passion of all unholy elohim within 12" of the Ministering Spirit. Glorious Countenance requires the Ministering Spirit to have line of sight and the damage is Resistible using Resolve.

Glorious Countenance cannot be maintained longer than 40 Cycles (just over 3 minutes). The Ministering Spirit must wait 1 Hour before using it Glorious Countenance again. The Ministering Spirit can choose to cancel the use of this Spiritual Effect any time before the glory 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 Surrogate.

	Class	Allotment	Effect
Glorious Countenance	Manifesting Ongoing Damaging	Variable 144-400	negate all Precision vs. the Ministering Spirit -30(10) Resolve and Passion to all unholy elohim within 12" damage is Resisted using Resolve
