Expressing Your Glory

Elohim can choose to fully express the weight of their glory, or Magnitude. This reveals the elohim in their truest form and will be accompanied by the elohim radiating intense light, or for unholy elohim, intense darkness. It takes concentration to Express their Glory and the elohim cannot do anything that would add Exertion to themselves while doing so. If done during War, Expressing your Glory must be started as you begin the first Turn of a Cycle and can only be ended as you begin the first Turn of a Cycle.

• all other characters within 21" have fewer Action Points each Turn equal to their inferiority of Magnitude

  • this reduction is halved if actively endangered

• add Adjustments in this character's favor to Strikes against and Checks by this character equal to their superiority of Magnitude
  

• Social Interactions gain Adjustments equal to the difference in Magnitude

  • if influencing multiple characters at once, use the best Composure and Magnitude combination among the Targets

• cannot perform any actions that would add Exertion 

An elohim Expressing their Glory will have a diminishing effect on those whose glory is lesser. Other characters within 21" of a character who is Expressing their Glory may act with fewer Action Points each Turn. The reduction equal to their inferiority of Magnitude. This is not a group effect and does not compound. If multiple allied elohim are Expressing their Glory, the reduction is based upon the greatest inferiority of Magnitude. The reduction to Action Points is reduced to half if the diminished elohim is being actively endangered. The character Expressing their Glory will also have Adjustments in their favor to all Strikes and Checks involving them equal to their superiority of Magnitude.

Social Interactions made by an elohim while Expressing their Glory gain additional Adjustments in their favor based upon the difference in Magnitude between the characters. If Targeting multiple characters at once, the Interaction is determined using the character that would give the fewest Adjustments (usually this can be decided by looking at Composure and Magnitude).

Expressing your Glory is not practiced during a Parley. A Parley is a more formal convention in which the participants are agreeing to persuade and reason with one another. Expressing you Glory is more of an attempt to forcefully overwhelm others with your presence.
