Divine Powers
Home > Rulebook > Religion & Theology > Divine Powers
Divine Powers are an intense form of casting that uses the energy of the world around it for a certain religions purpose. Intentions must be set before performing rituals to grant these powers
Requirements
To be able to cast a ritual, one must spend time casting and have the sufficient costs available to cast. One must also follow the religion and requirements of casting, and be dedicated to a religion, at least performing a prayer or showing devotion atleast once per day.
Sacrifices
Sacrifices are mandatory for certain rituals, a ritual can require a certain amount of sacrifices ontop of the ones already performed. Only a medium sized corpse can count as a sacrifice for the purpose of rituals. You require double the amount of corpses for a small sized target, and double for each sacrificed target below the category.
If you use sacrifices for a ritual that is double or more of the required sacrificial amount, you gain another use of the ritual which either can stack or target another person. If you use a sacrifice on a ritual without needing one, it follows the rules above (1 sacrifice is 2 casts, 2 is 4 casts, 4 is 8 casts… and so on).
Souls also may be used as a form of sacrifice, if the user can contain the soul from a medium sized target or higher.
Alternate Forms of Sacrifice
There may be alternate forms of sacrifice, such as items and other objects, for items, their value determines the sacrifice amount, an item or items equalling to C$50 qualifies as 1 sacrifice. Using this method, you may only sacrifice complete items, sole components do not count. The GM may also change what is dictated as sufficient for a sacrifice.
