Concealing Your Glory

Elohim can conceal their glory. While their glory is concealed, their glorious spiritual presence is no longer emanating from them. As part of concealing their glory, they will appear to other spirits as a human or an animal, generally no smaller than a large rat or average bird. An elohim concealing their glory may choose to also manifest in the material realm, but manifesting materially and concealing their glory are independent actions, despite their frequent overlap. 

Concealed Glory

  • will appear as a human or animal (not a mimic of a known exact person)

  • cannot be sensed in Melee Range

  • Detection is reduced to half

    • Righteous/Corrupt Detection sense Tier:4 as 28", but not beyond

  • -12 Adjustments to being Perceived as an elohim

  • upon revealing glory, can use up to 4 Action Points in non-offensive preparation

The intent of concealing your glory is to disguise your identity as a glorious spiritual being. In the spiritual realm, glory, or Magnitude, commands attention similar to how humans and animals perceive size, color, and light. A connection to size and light can still be seen in the effects of advancing in Tier.

While an elohim’s glory is concealed they are not able to be sensed by others. Versions of the Spiritual Effect Detection have their effectiveness reduced in sensing elohim whose glory is concealed to half the normal range. Righteous and Corrupt Detection sense concealed Tier:4 at 28", but not in the general region as usual. Using the Spiritual Effect Discernment on an elohim whose glory is concealed will reveal the elohim’s true nature to the Ministering Spirit along with all other information the Effect normally reveals. 

When an elohim chooses to reveal their glory, they may immediately use up to 4 Action Points preparing themselves for War by manifesting Weapon Effects, adopting Defensive Stance, using Spiritual Effects, singing, etc. They may not, however, do anything during these Action Points that will directly affect any opponents such as Striking or using Resistible or Wearing Effects or Songs. Once revealed, they will resume normal action at their next Turn.
