-export default {"words.alacrity.name":"Alacrity","words.alacrity.description":"The Word of swiftness and impossible grace, Alacrity grants miracles of haste to the hero who possesses it. Miracles of its power might involve completing a particular task in but moments, evading some otherwise-inescapable peril, or responding to an event before its enactor can even begin. Alacrity is not Journeying, however, and its movement tends to be restricted to a single particular place or a short distance rather than swift transit between far-flung locations. Heroes with the Alacrity Word cannot be surprised. They may increase their Dexterity to 16, or to 18 if it’s already 16 or higher.","words.artifice.name":"Artifice","words.artifice.description":"This is the Word of crafters, builders, and devisers of wondrous creations. Some Godbound express their affinity through a particular form of crafting, such as blacksmithing or shipbuilding, while others are patrons of a broader range of creative labor. Even focused artisans can use their powers generally, however. Miracles of Artifice involve the creation, command, repair, or destruction of physical objects. Heroes with the Artifice Word can create any non-magical object a normal man can carry as a round’s action, using whatever materials are to hand. While the ensuing creation may look odd, and any \"foodstuffs\" are inedible, it functions and lasts as well as a normal object of its type and usual substance. The hero’s crafting efforts for a day count as 100 laborers per character level when an estimate is needed.","words.beasts.name":"Beasts","words.beasts.description":"The Word of the animal realm, gifts of the Beast may be used on any natural or magical animal, though not creatures fashioned entirely of sorcery or impossible artifice. Most creatures of human intelligence do not qualify as beasts, though some exceptionally primal or savage entities might be treated as such. Miracles of the Beast Word involve adopting traits of animals, impressing these traits on others, full or hybrid shapeshifting, commanding beasts, or calling forth animals. Some powers grant the user the full or partial shape of an animal, or allow them to transform another. If used as a curse, the hero may inflict the animal’s intellect on the target or allow them to retain their own mind in their new shell. If used as a blessing or a personal transformation, the original mind is retained, albeit with an instinctive awareness of how to use the beast’s natural abilities. Shapeshifting rules are described in detail on page 160. If using a creature's natural weaponry to attack, small but dangerous creatures use a 1d6 damage die, wolf- or bear-sized ones use a 1d8 damage die, and larger creatures use a 1d10 damage die. Thus, transforming mortals into fierce beasts wouldn't actually improve their prowess, but would only change their outward appearance and give them the natural locomotion of the beasts. While the gifts here don't address it, other miracles or gifts of the Beast Word might be able to grant special abilities or qualities of an animal's form for additional Effort. Heroes with the Beast Word can speak to animals. Unintelligent beasts will always comply with requests that aren't unnatural to them.","words.bow.name":"Bow","words.bow.description":"The Bow Word includes all divinities of ranged combat, whether with bow, hurled spear, pistol, rifle, thrown dagger, or a flung lightning bolt. Heroes with the Omnipresent Reach gift may not actually use a physical weapon at all, instead hurling bolts of some appropriate energy. Such bolts may do elemental damage if the hero is aligned with such Words, or they might be physical blasts of concussive divine force. Miracles of the Bow involve impossibly accurate damage delivered over enormous distances or the cursing and condemning of another’s attempt at a ranged attack. Note that the benefits granted by gifts of the Bow apply only to projectiles and other weapons or bolts called forth by the gifts of this Word. They don’t apply to other ranged attacks from other Words or to magic that just happen to be delivered at range, such as the Divine Wrath gift allowed to all Words. Heroes with the Bow Word never run out of normal ammunition. They may instantly call ranged or throwing weapons they've used to their hands over any distance, and their ranged weapon attacks never harm any target they did not intend to hurt. Their ranged attacks always count as magical for purposes of overcoming defenses.","words.command.name":"Command","words.command.description":"The Word of Command speaks of obedience, leadership and rule. Godbound of Command can compel the submission of others to their will and the acceptance of their rulership, but they cannot touch the hearts of those they command. While enthralled subjects will carry out orders meticulously and rationally, they will not exert their own initiative unless they agree with the Godbound's desires. Heroes with the Command Word may set their Charisma score to 16, or 18 if it’s already 16 or higher. They may communicate with any intelligent creature, understanding them and being understood in turn. Their commands are always correctly understood, though obedience will depend on their eloquence or the use of their gifts.","words.death.name":"Death","words.death.description":"Death is known to all that is mortal, and this Word gives command over this inevitable fate. Its miracles avert or bring about death, reveal details about a death, rule the unquiet dead, or create restless undead. Heroes with the Death Word may command undead in their presence as an action, ordering up to one Mob of any size. Greater undead get a Spirit saving throw to resist, and cannot be commanded to self-destruct. As an On Turn action, they also know the details of what, where, and how anything died or is dying within 100 feet of them.","words.deception.choices.attribute.prompt":"Attribute the Word raises","words.deception.choices.attribute.options.dex.name":"Dexterity","words.deception.choices.attribute.options.cha.name":"Charisma","words.deception.name":"Deception","words.deception.description":"The arts of Deception are those of stealth, illusion, and lies. A masterful trickster is skilled at detecting impositions as well as uttering them, and their miracles may have to do with revealing deceit as well as impressing it on the minds of others. Gifts of stealth and concealment usually apply as long as the hero is avoiding attention and acting discreetly. Violence, loud noises, and directly exposing themselves to guards or other vigilant sorts risks the loss of concealment. Heroes with the Deception Word may raise either their Dexterity or Charisma to 16, depending on whether they favor stealth or lies. If either score is already 16 or higher, they may set it to 18 instead.","words.earth.choices.attribute.prompt":"Attribute the Word raises","words.earth.choices.attribute.options.str.name":"Strength","words.earth.choices.attribute.options.con.name":"Constitution","words.earth.name":"Earth","words.earth.description":"The Word of Earth gives command over stone and soil, and evokes the hardness and obduracy of rock. Miracles of Earth revolve around stone, earth, strength, hardness, and durability, and can be used to grant brief marvels of these qualities to the hero or others. Metal can be destroyed or purified from ore by this Word, but it cannot be molded the same way in which raw stone or soil can be shaped. Heroes with the Earth Word may set either their Strength or Constitution scores to 16, depending on whether they emphasize the strength of load-bearing stone or the hardness of solid rock. If the chosen score is already 16 or higher, they may set it to 18 instead.","words.endurance.name":"Endurance","words.endurance.description":"The Word of Endurance is one of hardiness, determination, and unflagging exertion. Its miracles can grant survival even in the face of certain death, strength when exhaustion would otherwise overwhelm, and resistance against unwanted sorcery or curses. A Godbound graced with this Word is fearsomely difficult to harm physically, but the Word cannot deflect mental or spiritual damage sources or compulsions, like a Knowledge Divine Wrath or a Command compulsion. As a guide, if it would involve a Spirit save then Endurance can't stop it. Its miracles can't extend immunities to others unless noted otherwise. Heroes of Endurance need not eat, sleep, drink, or breathe, and may set their Constitution score to 16, or 18 if it’s already 16 or higher.","words.fertility.name":"Fertility","words.fertility.description":"Fertility for their lands and children for their families are two of the dearest desires of all common folk, and the Word of Fertility grants such blessings. But what it gives it may also take away, and the miracles of this power can also be used to blight land and curse lineages. Immediate miracles tend to briefly influence desire, sexuality, harvests, and blights, while the gifts of the Word can produce more lasting effects. Heroes with the Fertility Word have perfect control over their reproduction and may set their Constitution score to 16, or 18 if it’s already 16 or higher. They have an invincible defense against wooden weapons or objects, vegetal monsters, and plant-based toxins.","words.fire.name":"Fire","words.fire.description":"Born of red flame, the Word of Fire grants powers of burning, melting, and destroying those things displeasing to the hero. It may also be used to shield allies from the fury of the flame, or undo the damage that fire has done to a person or object. Its miracles may also bring light to a place, or to conceal with veils of choking smoke. More subtle miracles may invoke Fire’s ties to passions of fury and lust, enkindling these feelings in others or causing them to spread to others like the swelling of a growing flame. Heroes with the Fire Word have an invincible defense against flame and smoke. They may wield fire as a magical weapon with a range of up to 50 feet and a 1d10 damage die.","words.health.name":"Health","words.health.description":"Bread, children, and health; these things are ever in the prayers of the people. The Word of Health offers one of these at least, banishing illness and putting aright mismade flesh. Miracles of Health can banish plagues and cure injuries, though gifts are generally needed for large-scale workings save in relatively minor feats of healing. Vengeful demigods of Health can also inflict the same plagues they might cure. While potent, powers of healing often demand much from the re-serves of those who would benefit by them. Some gifts require those healed to Commit Effort for the day to absorb the healing energies. NPCs and others without listed Effort scores can be assumed to be able to benefit from such healing once a day at most. Heroes with the Health Word have an invincible defense against diseases and poisons, and can diagnose them instantly. They may set their Constitution to 16, or to 18 if it’s already 16 or higher.","words.journeying.name":"Journeying","words.journeying.description":"The hero fares far with the Word of Journeying, which concerns itself with long travels and perilous paths. Miracles of Journeying involve swift transportation to a desired place, the sundering of barriers to the hero’s path, and the avoidance of peril while on the road. Other miracles can seal or open existing Night Roads. Note that the gifts of Journeying apply to travel rather than simple movement. Gifts that speak of travel mean for the hero to be moving from one location to another destination rather than just running around in a single area. Heroes with the Word of Journeying always know exactly where they are, never lose their way to a known destination, and may treat travel as if it were as restful and nourishing to them as sound sleep and a good meal.","words.knowledge.choices.attribute.prompt":"Attribute the Word raises","words.knowledge.choices.attribute.options.int.name":"Intelligence","words.knowledge.choices.attribute.options.wis.name":"Wisdom","words.knowledge.name":"Knowledge","words.knowledge.description":"Knowledge is the Word of understanding. All that mortal scholars know is within the purview of this Word, along with secrets of the past and present. The Word of Knowledge cannot penetrate the veil of the future, but it can reveal almost anything of the present world. Deep mysteries of a campaign world cannot be pried loose, however. Facts or events perpetrated by someone with the Word of Deception allow their enactor a Spirit saving throw to conceal events from the Word of Knowledge. Heroes with the Knowledge Word may set either their Intelligence or Wisdom attribute to 16. If the score is already 16 or higher, they may set it to 18 instead.","words.luck.name":"Luck","words.luck.description":"Luck is a subtle Word in the main, without many of the blatantly obvious effects of the other domains. Instead, luck simply graces those blessed by its power, ensuring that things somehow work out well for them and very poorly for those who displease them. Luck miracles can be used to rework fate, ensuring that seemingly-random events turn out well or poorly for those targeted by the hero’s attentions. Heroes gifted in the Luck Word may roll 1d20 once a day. At any time during that day, they may replace their own or someone else’s 1d20 roll with the one in reserve. They can only replace a roll once per day.","words.might.name":"Might","words.might.description":"The primal power of strength is embodied in the Word of Might. Many martial Godbound are strong, but a Godbound of Might excels them all in raw physical strength, and can perform miracles of lifting, throwing, or breaking things with their bare hands. They also have the power to bless their allies with similar graces of strength, though usually for specific actions or challenges rather than as a standing bonus to their abilities. A Godbound of the Word of Might is tremendously powerful, gaining a Strength score of 19 and a +4 attribute modifier for Strength. This prowess allows them to lift or break anything that is humanly possible to so handle, though truly supernatural feats of strength require the use of a gift or miracle.","words.night.name":"Night","words.night.description":"Dreams, sleep, darkness, and calm are found beneath the banner of night. Night passes over many places at once, and enters into even the most well-guarded chambers. The Word of Night can work miracles involving sleep, blindness, swift passage into darkness, and physical intangibility. These gifts often require a dimly-lit area for best effect. Heroes with the Word of Night can see perfectly in darkness. They need not sleep, and their actions will never involuntarily cause the awakening of any sleepers around them.","words.passion.choices.attribute.prompt":"Attribute the Word raises","words.passion.choices.attribute.options.cha.name":"Charisma","words.passion.choices.attribute.options.wis.name":"Wisdom","words.passion.name":"Passion","words.passion.description":"The Word of Passion commands the heart, filling it with the emotions desired by the Godbound or banishing those feelings that prove troublesome. While these emotions can be overwhelming, the Godbound cannot dictate what the subjects do with them. In this way, Passion inspires personal action in its targets, but does not give the direct control granted by the Word of Command. Heroes with the Word of Passion are blessed with grace and an under-standing of the heart. They may set either their Charisma or Wisdom attribute score to 16, or 18 if the score is already that high.","words.sea.name":"Sea","words.sea.description":"The Word of the sea commands water in all its forms, but most often that of the rivers and the oceans. All creatures that dwell within water are subject to the sea, and its waters can carry its blessed far away or crush and erode those less favored. Miracles of the sea can smash with crushing pressure, conjure vast amounts of water, control the flow of liquids, or purify with the cleansing salt of the oceans. Heroes with the Sea Word have an invincible defense against cold, can breathe water, swim at twice their normal movement rate, and see with perfect clarity underwater, regardless of available light. They may grant these benefits to their companions, except for cold immunity.","words.sky.name":"Sky","words.sky.description":"The sky rules weather, flight, lightning, and wind. Those blessed by its might navigate the air as easily as the earth, wield lightning as a weapon, or blight whole cities with storm and wind. Miracles of the sky might banish hostile weather, smite a target with a bolt of lightning, conjure wind to lift and carry a thing, or perform some other feat of aerial command. Heroes with the Sky Word are never harmed by falling, need not breathe, and have an invincible defense against electricity, cold and injurious sounds.","words.sorcery.name":"Sorcery","words.sorcery.description":"Sorcery is an unusual Word, one representing a bond with the fundamental laws of creation and the deep, subtle secrets of its operation. Sorcery has no native miracles and cannot be used by itself to create effects or mimic its gifts. Instead, mastery of its gifts allows a God-bound to wield the flexible and potent powers of theurgy. Godbound affiliated with the Sorcery Word brush aside the incantations of lesser mages. As an Instant ability, the PC can Commit Effort for the scene to instantly negate any low magic spell being cast in their presence or banish or destroy any low magic construct or summoned entity. This counter does not function against theurgy or arcane powers that are merely similar to low magic spells.","words.sun.name":"Sun","words.sun.description":"Light, hope, vision and purity are the purviews of the Sun Word. The sun banishes malevolent sorcery and gives courage with its radiance. Miracles of the sun might be used to break spells, reveal truths, give hope, or blast the impure with torrents of celestial flame. The sun’s eye is all-seeing, and gifts of vision also fall under this sphere. Heroes with the Sun Word may shed daylight at will up to 200 feet, cannot be blinded or their vision impaired by darkness or mists, and have an invincible defense against fire damage. Their vision can pierce blindfolds or survive even the physical removal of their eyes.","words.sword.name":"Sword","words.sword.description":"The Word of the Sword is that of melee combat, of direct struggle between the Godbound and their foes. Miracles of the Sword involve unerring strokes, tremendous blows, or marvelous escapes from harm in battle. While potent, these miracles do not work at range. Heroes with the Sword Word treat all their weapon or unarmed attacks as magical, cannot be disarmed, and can summon any melee weapon they’ve ever used immediately to hand as an Instant action.","words.time.name":"Time","words.time.description":"Time is a complex Word, one ruling events of the past and future. While temporal gifts can often see the future, such outcomes are not set. Predictions can be overcome by events and choices, though some gifts of Time allow the user to fix a future’s certainty, unless their will is overcome by a stronger power. Miracles of Time can alter the past and rewrite prior events, but it is generally necessary to manipulate specific events rather than simply decree a broad swath of history. Temporal manipulation cannot kill people or erase things of great occult power, but it can alter how past events played out. Heroes with the Time Word always know the exact time, and are immune to any uses of this Word to affect them or scry on them. They may set their Wisdom to 16, or 18 if it’s already 16 or higher.","words.wealth.name":"Wealth","words.wealth.description":"Wealth is the Word not only of gold, but of prosperity of all kinds. Steady pay, full larders, warm clothes, and sturdy roofs are the purview of this Word. Some of its powers interact with the Faction system on page 134, giving blessings or curses to whole cities or nations. Some gifts of Wealth allow the creation of non-magical objects, and a hero can use these powers to create great sums of gold or other precious materials. As a general rule, these gifts can be used to create enough Wealth to accomplish any immediate end desired, but the inflation caused by such a sudden rush of fist-sized jewels will make further artificial Wealth expenditures in the area useless for some time. A hero who operates more slowly, using the gifts to create actual objects of practical use, does not cause this sort of inflation. Such created Wealth is useless for the purposes of exerting Dominion, and cannot be spent for that end. Heroes with the Wealth Word are never short of money, and can always afford anything that costs 1 Wealth or less. They always have sufficient food, drink, and clothing for themselves and their companions, drawing it from nothingness if necessary.","gifts.apotheosis.receive-the-incense-of-faith.name":"Receive the Incense of Faith","gifts.apotheosis.receive-the-incense-of-faith.description":"Gained at second level, the Godbound becomes capable of receiving worship from mortal believers and can begin forming their own cult.","gifts.apotheosis.sanctify-shrine.name":"Sanctify Shrine","gifts.apotheosis.sanctify-shrine.description":"Gained at third level, the Godbound’s worshipers can now sanctify temples and shrines to their deity. When properly consecrated, the Godbound can choose to perceive anything going on within their precincts, though they must intentionally choose to watch. They can target a gift or miracle at any person within the sacred grounds at the usual costs in Effort. Such a marvel is free the first time the Godbound so acts in a day, but each successive wonder requires the Godbound to Commit Effort for the day. Properly sanctifying a shrine requires rites and components costing Wealth equal to the Godbound's level, with increases in their level requiring additional expenditures. If the shrine is desecrated, it must be reconsecrated at the full cost.","gifts.apotheosis.smite-the-apostate.name":"Smite the Apostate","gifts.apotheosis.smite-the-apostate.description":"Also at third level, the Godbound can instantly kill an offending worshiper or afflict them with some debilitating suffering appropriate to their Words. This torment lasts as long as the Godbound desires. If another god accepts the worshiper, however, the curse is lifted.","gifts.apotheosis.hear-prayer.name":"Hear Prayer","gifts.apotheosis.hear-prayer.description":"At fourth level, the Godbound is capable of hearing the prayers of their faithful. These usually are a subconscious sussurus of petitions, but they can specifically “listen” for particular topics or people if they wish, becoming alerted when those topics arise or those people address them. The Godbound can communicate with their faithful during their prayers, though this inward voice is subtle and does not compel obedience.","gifts.apotheosis.perceive-the-petitioner.name":"Perceive the Petitioner","gifts.apotheosis.perceive-the-petitioner.description":"At fifth level, the Godbound can see a particular worshiper and their surroundings with an action's focus, knowing everything about their immediate situation that the worshiper knows. This doesn’t grant deep or subtle knowledge of the situation, but it’s enough to make their current circumstances clear.","gifts.apotheosis.mark-of-the-prophet.name":"Mark of the Prophet","gifts.apotheosis.mark-of-the-prophet.description":"At sixth level, the Godbound can consecrate specific worshipers as favored disciples or high priests. One disciple may be chosen for each level of the Godbound, but only one high pontiff can be chosen. If you've access to the deluxe version of Godbound and the mortal creation rules, the disciples instantly become heroic mortals of a level equal to half their patron's level, rounded up and the high priest becomes a heroic mortal of the Godbound's level. Both usually take talents reflective of their patron's portfolio, including a gift or two. If the mortal hero rules are unavailable, treat the disciples as Skilled Mages or Major Heroes from the mortal section of the bestiary chapter, and the high priest as a lesser Eldritch. This consecrating process takes only a moment, but the consecration cannot be taken from the acolyte until they are dead, even if they later leave their god's service.","gifts.apotheosis.attend-the-faithful.name":"Attend the Faithful","gifts.apotheosis.attend-the-faithful.description":"At seventh level, the Godbound can manifest before a praying worshiper, instantly appearing before them no matter how far away the divinity may be, even from a distant realm. This manifestation lasts no longer than a scene, however, before the Godbound returns to their original location and cannot use this gift again for a day.","gifts.apotheosis.to-bless-the-nations.name":"To Bless the Nations","gifts.apotheosis.to-bless-the-nations.description":"At eighth level the Godbound can selectively bless or blight the fortunes of a faction that contains a substantial number of their followers. If the faction has a number of worshipers present equal in number to a group of one Power size smaller, the Godbound can selectively add or subtract 2 from any action die roll they take. Thus, if a city of Power 2 had a Power 1 village's worth of faithful among them, they would be subject to the Godbound's influence. The Godbound must be aware of the effort the faction is making to influence the roll, but usually only the most subtle and secretive actions can escape the notice of such a large number of worshipers and their prayers.","words.apotheosis.name":"Apotheosis","words.apotheosis.description":"The Word of Apotheosis is a special Word. It cannot be selected as a bound Word by a Godbound, nor does it have any miracles of its own associated with it. Instead, it represents those special abilities suitable to a budding deity, automatically gained as they grow in might. Many apotheosis powers apply only to worshipers. A worshiper is an intelligent being who knowingly and willingly pledges to worship a Godbound or other deific Word-bound entity, such as a parasite god or Made God. The worshiper may be coerced by circumstances or threats, but cannot be magically compelled or induced. A worshiper may be a servant of only one deity at a time. Those who pledge to a pantheon have their worship assigned to the member god most suited to their nature, whether or not the worshiper is aware of it. Worshipers can turn against a god, but they can't renounce their state. The most they can do is find a new god to accept their loyalty. Gods always know whether or not a person is a worshiper of theirs, though they have no automatic insight into whether or not they are an obedient worshiper. They may reject a worshiper at any time, or accept a change of allegiance from another god's devotees. A god is not automatically made aware of a person's choice to worship them, though they can tell of that fact with a glance at the new worshiper. Gods always have custody of the souls of their devotees. They may damn their faithful dead to Hell at their will, but otherwise, the souls of the dead hover unseen and sleeping in the presence of their god, or are dispatched to the divinity's paradise. A soul unsheltered by a paradise will fall into Hell if their patron deity is slain. The only way to gain the gifts of apotheosis is through gaining character levels. They may be used as given, but the Word does not grant miracles, nor can miracles be used to mimic its powers.","invocations.barred-gates-of-forbiddance.name":"Barred Gates of Forbiddance","invocations.barred-gates-of-forbiddance.description":"By means of an arcane connection the theurge may forbid a subject from entering a particular place. The banned location may be as small as a particular room or as large as a nation, but it must be a single recognizable entity. If the subject is within the area forbidden when the invocation is cast, they must immediately flee to the nearest viable border by the quickest possible route. If brought into it against their will, they can do nothing but flee at the first opportunity. The theurge need not be present inside the area to be warded when casting the spell, but must know its location and general dimensions. Lesser foes are unable to resist this spell, while worthy enemies may make a Spirit saving throw to resist the forbiddance. The forbiddance lasts until it is dispelled or the caster lifts the ban.","invocations.barred-gates-of-forbiddance.prerequisites.adept":"Requires Adept of the Gate.","invocations.beacon-of-celestial-purity.name":"Beacon of Celestial Purity","invocations.beacon-of-celestial-purity.description":"The theurge shines with a brilliantly clarifying radiance that gently illumines everything within one hundred feet. The light purifies and cleanses everything it touches, rendering objects clean and neutralizing poisons and disease sources, albeit it does not cure afflicted persons or banish magic. Any lies or intentional misdirections spoken within the light become visible as a plume of smoking filth rising from the speaker’s mouth. The lies of others cause painful feedback to the theurge, and inflict a 1d6 damage die each time a lie is spoken. This damage cannot be avoided or negated. The light lasts as long as the caster desires it and remains conscious. Those with the Word of Deception can speak lies without being discovered by this spell.","invocations.beacon-of-celestial-purity.prerequisites.adept":"Requires Adept of the Gate.","invocations.bright-gods-canticle.name":"The Bright God's Canticle","invocations.bright-gods-canticle.description":"This invocation requires that the caster sing, forbidding other speech or spellcasting while it is maintained. So long as the caster remains singing, those around them are unable to acknowledge their presence, or the presence of allies who remain close to the theurge. Observers are aware of the sorcerer, but they can do nothing to act on that awareness unless the invocation is ended. The effect is broken if the mage ceases to sing, or they or their allies attack anyone or use hostile effects. Lesser foes are affected automatically by the canticle. For others, the worthy foe with the best saving throw in the group may roll a Spirit save to resist; if successful, no worthy foe is affected, while if it fails, all are subject to the canticle.","invocations.bright-gods-canticle.prerequisites.adept":"Requires Adept of the Gate.","invocations.excision-of-days.name":"The Excision of Days","invocations.excision-of-days.description":"A sorcery dearly desired by the more ruthless among the theurges, the rite of the Excision of Days steals life from a person to prolong the life of the caster. The subject must be human, restrained and helpless, and the ritual is too complex to be cast instantly or in a few rounds. The sick and elderly add but a day to the sorcerer’s lifespan. The young and healthy add a month, while infants and children are the richest in life force and add two months apiece to the wizard’s longevity. The victims invariably perish during the ritual, and their souls are dragged down to Hell by the arcane forces involved in the rite. More than one victim can be sacrificed at once if they are all properly prepared. The renewed vitality granted by this ritual is permanent, but prolonged use invariably has a price. After the first century, the theurge usually begins to mutate in ways related to the life force they have stolen, becoming progressively more inhuman and monstrous as less and less of their original life force remains. Many theurges welcome this change, as their new bodies are often gifted with uncanny abilities.","invocations.excision-of-days.prerequisites.adept":"Requires Adept of the Gate.","invocations.kiss-of-the-crane.name":"Kiss of the Crane","invocations.kiss-of-the-crane.description":"A small crane-shaped blade is first anointed with the blood of its target, or otherwise combined with an arcane connection to its intended victim. If the subject is visible, the blade may simply be pointed in their direction, with no need for a connection. When the invocation is cast, the blade leaps into the air and pursues the target, traveling at a rate of a hundred miles an hour to unerringly seek its victim. The magical blade then strikes for 1d6 damage per hit die of the theurge caster, up to a maximum of 10d6. The crane is unerring, but a second crane cannot affect the victim until all injury from the first has healed. Lesser foes cannot resist this spell, but worthy enemies may make an Evasion save to take only half damage.","invocations.kiss-of-the-crane.prerequisites.adept":"Requires Adept of the Gate.","invocations.open-the-night-road.name":"Open the Night Road","invocations.open-the-night-road.description":"Many of the Night Roads between realms are hidden deep within the earth or concealed in remote locations far from the cities of men. Of these, some have been sealed shut by ancient sorcery or closed by the slow congealing of natural law. This invocation can be used to open a sealed Night Road entrance or give the caster a sense of the general direction and distance to the nearest one. If the caster is careful, they can open the Road only briefly, leaving it accessible for a few minutes before the existing seal scabs back over the entrance. More reckless casters can tear the seal away entirely, leaving the road open for all to pass until fresh sorcery or natural law closes it once more.","invocations.open-the-night-road.prerequisites.adept":"Requires Adept of the Gate.","invocations.pore-of-hell.name":"Pore of Hell","invocations.pore-of-hell.description":"A burning sigil is inscribed on a solid surface, its flames dying to a low ember glow after a few moments. While the invocation remains active, the caster may at any time trigger the pore as an Instant action, causing it to vomit out flames and obsidian splinters at everything within ten feet of the sigil. The caster may choose to have the pore activate automatically when a target comes within three feet of it. The pore inflicts 1d6 damage per hit die or level of the caster, to a maximum of 10d6. Lesser foes get no saving throw against the damage, while worthy foes can make a Hardiness save to resist the explosion unharmed. Once discharged, the pore vanishes. A second pore cannot be laid down within the area of effect of the first.","invocations.pore-of-hell.prerequisites.adept":"Requires Adept of the Gate.","invocations.ranks-of-pale-bone.name":"Ranks of Pale Bone","invocations.ranks-of-pale-bone.description":"The theurge imbues corpses or other remains with an animating force, raising them as soulless lesser undead. For each hit die or level of the caster, 1d6 hit dice worth of lesser undead can be raised, assuming sufficient raw materials are available. The corpses need not be intact, as bones and tissue will merge and flow under the sorcery. Undead that have already been destroyed once, however, are no longer useful for further necromancy. The great majority of human-sized corpses rise as 1 hit die undead, though the corpses of terrible beasts or fearsome Misbegotten may be more dangerous.

Animal targets or those that do not share a language with the theurge can only be made to understand single-word commands. A theurge may have no more thralls under the effect of the seal at once than they have levels or hit dice.

The constructs are tireless and perfectly obedient to their riders, allowing their masters to cross twenty miles of distance every hour they ride, or half that when crossing rugged terrain. Natural beasts fear the steeds and will never approach them. The horses will not fight, but have an armor class of 0 and five hit dice apiece for purposes of withstanding damage. They never panic and are immune to mental influences and other conventional mortal passions. While swift and obedient, the horses drain the fertility out of the earth beneath their hooves in order to power their metal shells. The blackened hoofmarks make it trivially easy to track the riders for up to a month thereafter.

When cast, the invocation summons a gauzy image of the target and a five-foot radius echo of their surroundings. A similar phantasm of the caster appears in the target’s proximity. Caster and target may speak to each other through these phantasms, and a single inanimate object no more than ten pounds in weight may be passed between the two. The tenuous link produces a 25% chance that the object will be lost in transit somewhere in the distance between the two, however, with a brief glimpse of its resting place provided. The link lasts until the caster drops it, to a limit of one hour. If the target doesn’t wish to accept the contact, worthy foes may roll a Spirit save to resist it.

The target must be within the caster’s sight, or else the theurge must have an arcane connection to them. The caster may describe any kind of blight to level at the victim, or describe a misfortune that will inevitably befall the victim if it is in any way possible. Thus, a victim might be cursed to always maim themselves during combat, or have their eyes rot away, or to seethe with a hundred and one sicknesses that don’t quite kill them, or so forth. The curse can only affect them, however, and cannot control other people’s actions or thoughts, so a curse that their loved ones would reject them would be impermissible—albeit a curse that they should poison the food of their loved ones accidentally would be quite possible if they ever have anything to do with their family’s meals. The curse lasts until the theurge lifts it, it is dispelled, or a caster-chosen circumstance comes to pass.

The magnitude of the damage done depends on the significance and importance of the secret. A petty secret that isn’t even embarrassing to the caster inflicts no damage at all to hearers. An embarrassing or awkward secret that isn’t otherwise important inflicts a 1d10 damage die on those in the effect. A secret that exposes the caster to significant danger, reveals a weakness that enemies can exploit, or would incur the anger of a dangerous enemy inflicts a 1d20 damage die on those in the effect, and forces all targets to save versus Hardiness or be stunned and unable to act for a round.

They may act freely during this time, but cannot damage objects or people, take possessions from a person, or move living creatures from their frozen positions. Those around the theurge are oblivious to events that take place while they are acting under the spell. Godbound of the Word of Time and similar temporal creatures are immune to this spell, and may act freely in the otherwise-frozen moment. Repeated use of this spell is dangerous.

The amount of force poured through the invocation is painful to the caster, and they suffer half the target’s maximum hit dice in points of damage from the spiritual scorching. While potent, the energy forced through the arcane connection drives the caster out of thaumaturgic alignment with existing connections.

Raising a Tumulus of Sanctified Night requires the special consecration of a burial mound, memorial monument, ossuary, catacomb, or other place of death over the course of a week. Three man-sized sanctified markers or totems are placed within the structure; each must be destroyed or dispelled to negate the effect of the invocation. The spell's effects are strongest within the mound. Inside, all undead are treated as greater undead, and any use of a Word or other divine power to affect them requires the divinity to Commit Effort for the day, this extra surcharge being paid once per scene at most. A number of undead equal to a few dozen or a Small Mob can be specially blessed as bodyguards or lieutenants of the necromancer, and are no longer treated as undead for the purpose of hostile powers or influence. Outside the mound or catacomb, the effects are lesser, but still strong. For a one mile radius per level or hit die of the caster, all undead are treated as greater undead and the lieutenants retain their special immunity. For a ten mile radius per level or hit die of the caster, the lieutenants retain their immunity but no other benefits accrue.

As such, they are a notoriously atheistic tradition, ever prying into unseemly matters and profane secrets, and the ancestor-cultists of Dulimbai regard them with distinct mistrust. Academicians pride themselves on the sublimity of their tradition. Its powers may be invoked spontaneously, and are so subtle that only another Academician can tell when a spell is being cast. This elegance comes at a price, however, as such quick castings force an excessive surge of magical energy through the sorcerer’s brain tissues and leave them faintly debilitated for a time thereafter. Each spell cast spontaneously applies a cumulative -1 penalty to all hit rolls, attribute checks and saving throws until the caster can rest for half an hour. A caster can avoid incrementing this increasing penalty by routing the power through softer tissues and accepting a 1d6 damage die of injury.

Their arts are quick and easy to invoke, and they may cast spells spontaneously. While the Cinnabar Order is a vital part of the life of the great pyramid-arcologies of the Oasis States, its members are viewed with a mix of fear and distaste. The ancient adepts of the Order were strongly opposed to the transhuman breeding experiments that continue to this day among the families of the pyramids, and their refusal to cooperate in lending Cinnabar Order pupils to the genetic stock won them the displeasure of the cities' sorcerous flesh-shapers. The arcane descendants of these ancient fire-magi preserve their distance from the eugenic experiments of the Oasian nobility, obliging the Order's leaders to remain in the security of their ash monasteries. Despite this ancient hostility, the pyramids still need the magical fires that the Cinnabar Order provides in order to maintain their massive enchanted hydroponic gardens.

Most are glad to receive them and glad to see them go once the work is done. A loose fraternity of these practitioners is found in the Raktine Confederacy, some in service to the Black Academies while others serve as freelance defenders of the peasants. A few curse-eaters are also found in Ancalia, where their secrets formed the basis for the Invocatant order of Ancalian knighthood. Their special expertise is sometimes requested when the Invocatants can't deal with a problem alone. The blights of curse-eaters can take many forms: unluck, sickness, or even death in the case of the mightiest banes. These curses will usually last for a month, if strong or overt, or a year for more subtle afflictions. The very mightiest curses can last generations, though these are usually only enough to afflict a victim rather than kill them. Lesser curses can either affect a specific type of action and force a -4 penalty on d20 rolls for it, or be general ill-luck that applies a -2 penalty to all d20 rolls. Greater curses can force automatic failure of specific actions for a few times before they unravel, or simply cause the automatic failure of the first attempt at the action each scene before applying a -4 penalty to further attempts. Greater curses can also inflict severe, lasting sicknesses, or result in the almost-certain eventual deaths of lesser foes. Curse-eaters can prepare their spells beforehand in small tokens which they crush or break to release the effect. When they turn a curse back on its caster or detect a blight’s enactor, they can reach any distance to the sorcerer responsible for it; the magic itself gives them a connection which defies normal limits of range. Apprentice Apprentice curse-eaters can detect the presence of magic, sense and identify curses and their effects, or dispel low magic effects on their own person. Adept Adepts can dispel low magic on a target, receive a vision of the person who laid a curse on someone, or lay a curse on someone that can last as much as a year and inflict subtle but significant hindrance. Master Those who have mastered the curse-eater's arts can dispel low magic on a building or structure and everyone in it, create a shield that negates the next hostile low magic spell, place a greater curse on someone that will probably get them killed within a month or debilitated indefinitely, or place a lesser curse on an entire group of people in your presence. Archmage The rare curse-eater who lives long enough to become an archmage can create a shield that reflects the next hostile low magic spell back at the caster, place a greater curse on a lesser foe that will kill them in moments, place a lesser curse that will dilute as it travels down to their heirs for seven generations, or lift a curse from someone and send it back at its caster.","traditions.empty-way.name":"The Empty Way","traditions.empty-way.description":"Some see the secrets of the ancients as a path to power and control. They wield magic as a tool, using the ancient invocations and occult prayers to compel the tattered remnants of divinity to obey their purposes. The adepts of the Empty Way turned their back on such profane behavior long centuries ago. Since then they have kept to themselves in isolated monasteries and remote hermitages, taking as disciples those souls who sought refuge from the world and a path toward perfection of the soul. Adepts of the Empty Way are found throughout Arcem, though most often as Raktian hermits or monastics who follow a Uniter version of the doctrine, or Toban lamas and their disciples who use their arts to defend and advance the interests of their monastery. Individual mystical practitioners are also found in Dulimbai, along with a scattering of Lomite atheist-monks in the far north. The magic of the Empty Way is quick to employ, and may be cast spontaneously. It requires no material instruments whatsoever, not even when it is cast as a ritual. The sages of this path obstinately re-nounce the use of magic as a tool to affect the outside world, however, and so spells of the Empty Way only ever affect the caster. They may then choose to use their newfound strength to act in the world, but their philosophers consider that a very different prospect than that of the direct employ of sorcery. Initiates of the Empty Way symbolize their renunciation of direct influence on the world by their adoption of a particular taboo, whether celibacy, poverty, rigid dietary bans, strict obedience to a superior, lengthy periods of prayer each day, or some other stricture. Breaking this taboo or neglecting this duty costs them all use of their powers until they can spend a full day in meditation and purification. Those of the Empty Way who learn another tradition’s magic may use that magic normally, though other adepts of the path are apt to view them as very bad believers for meddling with magic that way. Apprentice The apprentice can cast spells to gain immunity to hot or cold weather, ignore hunger and thirst for a day, become impervious to pain and able to fight on for one round after reaching zero hit dice or hit points, or turn their unarmed attacks into 1d6 weapons for a scene. Adept The adept's spells can turn unarmed attacks into 1d8 weapons, grant them a natural armor class of 5 for a scene, leap up to sixty feet horizontally or half that vertically, gain immunity to natural flame or frost, or heal 1 hit die or hit point of damage as an Instant action. Master The sage master's spells can purge disease or poison from the blood, grant them a natural armor class of 3 for a scene, levitate up or down at their full movement rate for a scene, see clearly even in perfect darkness, or satiate their need for food, sleep, and drink for the day. Archmage An archmage may turn unarmed attacks into 1d10 weapons, turn invisible for a scene or until they take a vigorous action, become impervious to non-magical weapon attacks for a scene so long as they take no hostile action, restore youthful vigor for the day regardless of age, or gain immunity to mortal mind-affecting magic for the day.","traditions.hedge-magic.name":"Hedge Magic","traditions.hedge-magic.description":"A practice that requires years of laborious study, hedge magic teaches its pupils the subtle knowledge of the common folk, their cures and planting-times and luck-charms. In most places this tradition is thickly encrusted with the superstitions and traditions of the local practitioners, leaving a vast amount of effort to be expended before any true magic is learned. While almost any adequately clever man or woman can learn to use the disjointed arts of the hedge magician, it takes time and patient labor to learn the craft. Apprentices and adepts actually have no magical powers at all, and are simply well-versed in all the knowledge necessary for a village wise-man or wise-woman. Treat familiarity with this tradition as a helpful Fact when such knowledge is relevant to an attribute check. Hedge magic takes the usual ritual time to cast. Hedge mages are found throughout Arcem. Almost every hamlet worth a name has at least an apprentice of the art in residence, though the vast majority of these \"mages\" have no magical talent whatsoever. Adepts are the most commonly found, with most of those rare few that have actual arcane potential never getting the opportunity to develop magic. Only when their teacher is truly gifted as well do they have the chance to learn the deeper secrets of roots, seasons, and the man-agement of troublesome neighbors. Of course, having true magic can be a curse when those neighbors start demanding miracles from you. Apprentice Apprentice hedge magicians study herbs, livestock, the rudiments of fortunetelling, and the fabrication of the necessary tools and charms for later work. No true magic is learned at this level of experience. Most are apprenticed young and have mastered this level of expertise by their eighteenth birthday. Adept Adepts are proficient healers and herbalists, and talented at dealing with humans and animals alike. They know much of managing people, keeping the common folk in due awe of their learning without promising too much or inspiring excessive dread. Most villages have hedge magicians of this level of expertise, with knowledge but no true magic at their command. Master This degree is rarely ever learned before an adept’s fiftieth winter. The magician can perform true magic now, albeit of a modest and subtle type. They can cure sick livestock and minor human ailments, ensure wounds heal cleanly, find lost objects within familiar terrain, bring luck or misfortune to a specific endeavor (+/-2 to relevant attribute checks), or perform rituals that restore vigor and wakefulness to a group. Archmage Only the oldest and wisest of hedge mages attain to this degree of mastery. They can break mortal curses, miraculously heal physical wounds for 1d6 hit dice of healing, cure any non-magical diseases, bless or curse an undertaking so as to roll twice on one attribute check and take the better or worse, identify the general properties of magical objects or effects, bewitch people to friendliness or enmity, or foretell a very likely near future for a person. Any healing requires that the recipient Commit Effort for the day to assimilate the power. Those without listed Effort can benefit from healing once per day.","traditions.merciful-hand.name":"The Merciful Hand","traditions.merciful-hand.description":"In the wake of the Last War the loss of life was incalculable. Where only some of the secrets of the past could be preserved, the arts of magical healing were among those most often rescued. Ancient divine protocols of succor were passed down among numerous nations and peoples, and the ensuing body of knowledge came to be known in many lands as the Merciful Hand. These adepts are honored in all civilized lands, and only monsters or the truly barbarous would dare to harm them. Custom demands that they give at least an hour or two of their labor wherever they might stay the night. Their hospice-academies are rare, but are invariably well-supported by the local nobility, though in some lands this closeness has become an unhealthily incestuous bond between the Hand and the nobility. In these places only apprentices of suitably good breeding are allowed to enter the academy, thus neglecting suitable candidates of less glorious lineage and leaving the hospice much more interested in the concerns of the great. Given how few have the magical gifts required, this can make an adept of the Hand even rarer than they are now. The tradition’s spells are potent, but have no power to harm a person or affect an unwilling target. Its initiates can prepare some of the more commonly-needed spells beforehand in elixirs and poultices. Apprentice The apprentice engages in study of the healing arts and beneficial herbs, with no true magic learned at this level yet. This skill does apply as a useful Fact when performing medical services, however. Adept The adept knows charms to stabilize the gravely wounded, cure non-lethal diseases, numb pain, alleviate non-crippling symptoms, and magically identify even very esoteric diseases. Master The charms of the master cure 1d6 points of physical damage to hit points or hit dice, cure even lethal diseases, bring gravely-wounded sorts back onto their feet and functional so long as they’re not further harmed, correct lamed limbs and damaged but essentially-intact organs, and grant blessings to protect infection by mundane diseases. Archmage The mighty spells of the archmage can cure 2d6 physical damage, cure even magical diseases, regrow missing limbs and body parts, and provide blessings to protect against infection by magical diseases. Even so, there are some dire sicknesses that cannot be cured even by an archmage of the Merciful Hand, particularly those magical biological weapons unleashed by some of the more merciless civilizations that fought in the Last War.","traditions.seers-of-the-bright-eye.name":"Seers of the Bright Eye","traditions.seers-of-the-bright-eye.description":"The making of the Made Gods required a more than mortal awareness of the flow of arcane energies and divine numina. While the rarefied excellencies of awareness that went into creating these artificial gods is long since lost, the Seers of the Bright Eye have managed to retain the more prosaic arts of foretelling and far-seeing that win them their current coin and influence. Lesser Seers are little more than street-corner fortune-tellers, using a few small arts to puzzle out what a petitioner wants to be told of the future. In cities were several dwell, they usually form together into formal guilds of oracles, the better to avoid treading on each others’ prophecies and to train apprentices in the art. These novices are often recruited from likely urchins, and are little more than slave labor. Many of them have no actual magical talent whatsoever, and make their fortune with a glib tongue and a skill at cold reading. Some Seers with actual talent or determination refine their abilities to truly behold the future and cast their senses beyond their immediate surroundings. While the future is always mutable, they can gain hints of what is to come and visions of likely future events. This gifted elite finds service in the courts of nobles and princes, though most are regularly forced to prove the strength of their gifts by their suspicious patrons. This gift is hindered by the relatively simple warding practices that can serve to blind a Seer’s vision. Any location wrought with these wards becomes impenetrable to a Seer’s magic or future sight. Any competent occult adept knows how to lay these wards, but they also require regular tending to maintain their power. Exceptionally powerful and costly wards can last indefinitely, however, so long as they remain physically intact. Apprentice The apprentice can determine likely immediate good or bad outcomes from a choice, detect curses or magic, pinpoint the time and location of the caster, and identify a person’s predominant character traits if they have been seen or their birth date is known. Adept The adept can gain brief visions of familiar people and their surroundings, identify magic items and standing spells, get visions of important events likely to happen to them in the next week, overhear the sounds of a remote place they’ve visited before, and locate lost objects familiar to them. Such scrying never lasts more than a half-hour per spell cast. Master The master can locate people they’ve seen or had carefully described to them, ask questions about probable futures and receive yes or no answers, gain visions of where to go to find something, and scry distant locations known to them. Repeated queries about a single future topic tend to distort the readings, however. Archmage Archmages can penetrate weak wards against divination, such as those laid down by occultists of less than master expertise in their low magic tradition. They can also locate people or objects on a casual description, provide a detailed oracular description of a likely near-future event, or create a movable scrying point in a distant location. Their scrying spells last for an hour each at most.","traditions.theotechnicians.name":"The Theotechnicians","traditions.theotechnicians.description":"The Made Gods required a priesthood of theotechnical servitors, trained in the due maintenance and preservation of the elaborate edifices of occult artifice that supported their divine power. Each god had his or her own maintenance priesthood, of course, but the shared principles and secrets of the tradition have long since survived their original patrons. Today, the Bright Republic still maintains a reliable tradition of theotechnology in its sophisticated etheric engines and industrial infrastructure, but the deepest secrets of the arts are preserved by the jungle sages of the Thousand Gods. In the present day, theotechnicians serve as engineers and artificers to the great and small, with even their apprentices capable of erecting sturdy structures and repairing damaged tools and buildings. They are in greatest demand when relics of the Made Gods are unearthed, or ancient artifice-marvels need repair and recharging. Most Bright Republic towns have at least one theotechnician on hand to tend to their marvels, and cities make use of them to preserve ancient wonders that no person living can reproduce. The god-tribes of the Thousand Gods have even more such learned men and women, kept constantly in service by their merciless divine tyrants. While applicable to relics and wonders of all kinds, theotechnical work is not cheap. No work can be done unless the theotechnician has access to substantial resources, a minimum of Wealth 1 for any serious work beyond minor repairs and identifications. Its automata and artificing work remain functional as long as they are intact, however, and do not vanish or shut down at dawn. The Wealth used to make the gear must be natural; conjured components spoil the magic. Apprentice Apprentices learn no magic, but become skilled in architecture, tinkering, and the crafting of delicate work such as a jeweler or goldsmith might do. Those of the Thousand Gods focus more on learning of the myriad divinities of the land and their specific powers and servants. Adept Adept theotechnicians treat their art as sufficient justification for being able to create minor magic items as described in the Treasures chapter. Each month of their determined labor counts as 1 Dominion point for the creation of a minor magic item, though they cannot create them in bulk as Godbound can or create arms and armor more powerful than those with a +1 bonus. Adepts can identify the function and powers of such minor magic items. Master A master theotechnician can fashion up to +2 weapons and armor, and at a cost of 1 Wealth point and a week's work they can build a 4 HD minor servitor. This servitor is not sentient, but it will obey the master intelligently. Archmage Archmages of the theotechnicians can build +3 weapons and armor and can fabricate 8 HD servitors with a month's work and 2 Wealth points of expenditure.

+export default {"words.alacrity.name":"Alacrity","words.alacrity.description":"The Word of swiftness and impossible grace, Alacrity grants miracles of haste to the hero who possesses it. Miracles of its power might involve completing a particular task in but moments, evading some otherwise-inescapable peril, or responding to an event before its enactor can even begin. Alacrity is not Journeying, however, and its movement tends to be restricted to a single particular place or a short distance rather than swift transit between far-flung locations. Heroes with the Alacrity Word cannot be surprised. They may increase their Dexterity to 16, or to 18 if it’s already 16 or higher.","words.artifice.name":"Artifice","words.artifice.description":"This is the Word of crafters, builders, and devisers of wondrous creations. Some Godbound express their affinity through a particular form of crafting, such as blacksmithing or shipbuilding, while others are patrons of a broader range of creative labor. Even focused artisans can use their powers generally, however. Miracles of Artifice involve the creation, command, repair, or destruction of physical objects. Heroes with the Artifice Word can create any non-magical object a normal man can carry as a round’s action, using whatever materials are to hand. While the ensuing creation may look odd, and any \"foodstuffs\" are inedible, it functions and lasts as well as a normal object of its type and usual substance. The hero’s crafting efforts for a day count as 100 laborers per character level when an estimate is needed.","words.beasts.name":"Beasts","words.beasts.description":"The Word of the animal realm, gifts of the Beast may be used on any natural or magical animal, though not creatures fashioned entirely of sorcery or impossible artifice. Most creatures of human intelligence do not qualify as beasts, though some exceptionally primal or savage entities might be treated as such. Miracles of the Beast Word involve adopting traits of animals, impressing these traits on others, full or hybrid shapeshifting, commanding beasts, or calling forth animals. Some powers grant the user the full or partial shape of an animal, or allow them to transform another. If used as a curse, the hero may inflict the animal’s intellect on the target or allow them to retain their own mind in their new shell. If used as a blessing or a personal transformation, the original mind is retained, albeit with an instinctive awareness of how to use the beast’s natural abilities. Shapeshifting rules are described in detail on page 160. If using a creature's natural weaponry to attack, small but dangerous creatures use a 1d6 damage die, wolf- or bear-sized ones use a 1d8 damage die, and larger creatures use a 1d10 damage die. Thus, transforming mortals into fierce beasts wouldn't actually improve their prowess, but would only change their outward appearance and give them the natural locomotion of the beasts. While the gifts here don't address it, other miracles or gifts of the Beast Word might be able to grant special abilities or qualities of an animal's form for additional Effort. Heroes with the Beast Word can speak to animals. Unintelligent beasts will always comply with requests that aren't unnatural to them.","words.bow.name":"Bow","words.bow.description":"The Bow Word includes all divinities of ranged combat, whether with bow, hurled spear, pistol, rifle, thrown dagger, or a flung lightning bolt. Heroes with the Omnipresent Reach gift may not actually use a physical weapon at all, instead hurling bolts of some appropriate energy. Such bolts may do elemental damage if the hero is aligned with such Words, or they might be physical blasts of concussive divine force. Miracles of the Bow involve impossibly accurate damage delivered over enormous distances or the cursing and condemning of another’s attempt at a ranged attack. Note that the benefits granted by gifts of the Bow apply only to projectiles and other weapons or bolts called forth by the gifts of this Word. They don’t apply to other ranged attacks from other Words or to magic that just happen to be delivered at range, such as the Divine Wrath gift allowed to all Words. Heroes with the Bow Word never run out of normal ammunition. They may instantly call ranged or throwing weapons they've used to their hands over any distance, and their ranged weapon attacks never harm any target they did not intend to hurt. Their ranged attacks always count as magical for purposes of overcoming defenses.","words.command.name":"Command","words.command.description":"The Word of Command speaks of obedience, leadership and rule. Godbound of Command can compel the submission of others to their will and the acceptance of their rulership, but they cannot touch the hearts of those they command. While enthralled subjects will carry out orders meticulously and rationally, they will not exert their own initiative unless they agree with the Godbound's desires. Heroes with the Command Word may set their Charisma score to 16, or 18 if it’s already 16 or higher. They may communicate with any intelligent creature, understanding them and being understood in turn. Their commands are always correctly understood, though obedience will depend on their eloquence or the use of their gifts.","words.death.name":"Death","words.death.description":"Death is known to all that is mortal, and this Word gives command over this inevitable fate. Its miracles avert or bring about death, reveal details about a death, rule the unquiet dead, or create restless undead. Heroes with the Death Word may command undead in their presence as an action, ordering up to one Mob of any size. Greater undead get a Spirit saving throw to resist, and cannot be commanded to self-destruct. As an On Turn action, they also know the details of what, where, and how anything died or is dying within 100 feet of them.","words.deception.choices.attribute.prompt":"Attribute the Word raises","words.deception.choices.attribute.options.dex.name":"Dexterity","words.deception.choices.attribute.options.cha.name":"Charisma","words.deception.name":"Deception","words.deception.description":"The arts of Deception are those of stealth, illusion, and lies. A masterful trickster is skilled at detecting impositions as well as uttering them, and their miracles may have to do with revealing deceit as well as impressing it on the minds of others. Gifts of stealth and concealment usually apply as long as the hero is avoiding attention and acting discreetly. Violence, loud noises, and directly exposing themselves to guards or other vigilant sorts risks the loss of concealment. Heroes with the Deception Word may raise either their Dexterity or Charisma to 16, depending on whether they favor stealth or lies. If either score is already 16 or higher, they may set it to 18 instead.","words.earth.choices.attribute.prompt":"Attribute the Word raises","words.earth.choices.attribute.options.str.name":"Strength","words.earth.choices.attribute.options.con.name":"Constitution","words.earth.name":"Earth","words.earth.description":"The Word of Earth gives command over stone and soil, and evokes the hardness and obduracy of rock. Miracles of Earth revolve around stone, earth, strength, hardness, and durability, and can be used to grant brief marvels of these qualities to the hero or others. Metal can be destroyed or purified from ore by this Word, but it cannot be molded the same way in which raw stone or soil can be shaped. Heroes with the Earth Word may set either their Strength or Constitution scores to 16, depending on whether they emphasize the strength of load-bearing stone or the hardness of solid rock. If the chosen score is already 16 or higher, they may set it to 18 instead.","words.endurance.name":"Endurance","words.endurance.description":"The Word of Endurance is one of hardiness, determination, and unflagging exertion. Its miracles can grant survival even in the face of certain death, strength when exhaustion would otherwise overwhelm, and resistance against unwanted sorcery or curses. A Godbound graced with this Word is fearsomely difficult to harm physically, but the Word cannot deflect mental or spiritual damage sources or compulsions, like a Knowledge Divine Wrath or a Command compulsion. As a guide, if it would involve a Spirit save then Endurance can't stop it. Its miracles can't extend immunities to others unless noted otherwise. Heroes of Endurance need not eat, sleep, drink, or breathe, and may set their Constitution score to 16, or 18 if it’s already 16 or higher.","words.fertility.name":"Fertility","words.fertility.description":"Fertility for their lands and children for their families are two of the dearest desires of all common folk, and the Word of Fertility grants such blessings. But what it gives it may also take away, and the miracles of this power can also be used to blight land and curse lineages. Immediate miracles tend to briefly influence desire, sexuality, harvests, and blights, while the gifts of the Word can produce more lasting effects. Heroes with the Fertility Word have perfect control over their reproduction and may set their Constitution score to 16, or 18 if it’s already 16 or higher. They have an invincible defense against wooden weapons or objects, vegetal monsters, and plant-based toxins.","words.fire.name":"Fire","words.fire.description":"Born of red flame, the Word of Fire grants powers of burning, melting, and destroying those things displeasing to the hero. It may also be used to shield allies from the fury of the flame, or undo the damage that fire has done to a person or object. Its miracles may also bring light to a place, or to conceal with veils of choking smoke. More subtle miracles may invoke Fire’s ties to passions of fury and lust, enkindling these feelings in others or causing them to spread to others like the swelling of a growing flame. Heroes with the Fire Word have an invincible defense against flame and smoke. They may wield fire as a magical weapon with a range of up to 50 feet and a 1d10 damage die.","words.health.name":"Health","words.health.description":"Bread, children, and health; these things are ever in the prayers of the people. The Word of Health offers one of these at least, banishing illness and putting aright mismade flesh. Miracles of Health can banish plagues and cure injuries, though gifts are generally needed for large-scale workings save in relatively minor feats of healing. Vengeful demigods of Health can also inflict the same plagues they might cure. While potent, powers of healing often demand much from the re-serves of those who would benefit by them. Some gifts require those healed to Commit Effort for the day to absorb the healing energies. NPCs and others without listed Effort scores can be assumed to be able to benefit from such healing once a day at most. Heroes with the Health Word have an invincible defense against diseases and poisons, and can diagnose them instantly. They may set their Constitution to 16, or to 18 if it’s already 16 or higher.","words.journeying.name":"Journeying","words.journeying.description":"The hero fares far with the Word of Journeying, which concerns itself with long travels and perilous paths. Miracles of Journeying involve swift transportation to a desired place, the sundering of barriers to the hero’s path, and the avoidance of peril while on the road. Other miracles can seal or open existing Night Roads. Note that the gifts of Journeying apply to travel rather than simple movement. Gifts that speak of travel mean for the hero to be moving from one location to another destination rather than just running around in a single area. Heroes with the Word of Journeying always know exactly where they are, never lose their way to a known destination, and may treat travel as if it were as restful and nourishing to them as sound sleep and a good meal.","words.knowledge.choices.attribute.prompt":"Attribute the Word raises","words.knowledge.choices.attribute.options.int.name":"Intelligence","words.knowledge.choices.attribute.options.wis.name":"Wisdom","words.knowledge.name":"Knowledge","words.knowledge.description":"Knowledge is the Word of understanding. All that mortal scholars know is within the purview of this Word, along with secrets of the past and present. The Word of Knowledge cannot penetrate the veil of the future, but it can reveal almost anything of the present world. Deep mysteries of a campaign world cannot be pried loose, however. Facts or events perpetrated by someone with the Word of Deception allow their enactor a Spirit saving throw to conceal events from the Word of Knowledge. Heroes with the Knowledge Word may set either their Intelligence or Wisdom attribute to 16. If the score is already 16 or higher, they may set it to 18 instead.","words.luck.name":"Luck","words.luck.description":"Luck is a subtle Word in the main, without many of the blatantly obvious effects of the other domains. Instead, luck simply graces those blessed by its power, ensuring that things somehow work out well for them and very poorly for those who displease them. Luck miracles can be used to rework fate, ensuring that seemingly-random events turn out well or poorly for those targeted by the hero’s attentions. Heroes gifted in the Luck Word may roll 1d20 once a day. At any time during that day, they may replace their own or someone else’s 1d20 roll with the one in reserve. They can only replace a roll once per day.","words.might.name":"Might","words.might.description":"The primal power of strength is embodied in the Word of Might. Many martial Godbound are strong, but a Godbound of Might excels them all in raw physical strength, and can perform miracles of lifting, throwing, or breaking things with their bare hands. They also have the power to bless their allies with similar graces of strength, though usually for specific actions or challenges rather than as a standing bonus to their abilities. A Godbound of the Word of Might is tremendously powerful, gaining a Strength score of 19 and a +4 attribute modifier for Strength. This prowess allows them to lift or break anything that is humanly possible to so handle, though truly supernatural feats of strength require the use of a gift or miracle.","words.night.name":"Night","words.night.description":"Dreams, sleep, darkness, and calm are found beneath the banner of night. Night passes over many places at once, and enters into even the most well-guarded chambers. The Word of Night can work miracles involving sleep, blindness, swift passage into darkness, and physical intangibility. These gifts often require a dimly-lit area for best effect. Heroes with the Word of Night can see perfectly in darkness. They need not sleep, and their actions will never involuntarily cause the awakening of any sleepers around them.","words.passion.choices.attribute.prompt":"Attribute the Word raises","words.passion.choices.attribute.options.cha.name":"Charisma","words.passion.choices.attribute.options.wis.name":"Wisdom","words.passion.name":"Passion","words.passion.description":"The Word of Passion commands the heart, filling it with the emotions desired by the Godbound or banishing those feelings that prove troublesome. While these emotions can be overwhelming, the Godbound cannot dictate what the subjects do with them. In this way, Passion inspires personal action in its targets, but does not give the direct control granted by the Word of Command. Heroes with the Word of Passion are blessed with grace and an under-standing of the heart. They may set either their Charisma or Wisdom attribute score to 16, or 18 if the score is already that high.","words.sea.name":"Sea","words.sea.description":"The Word of the sea commands water in all its forms, but most often that of the rivers and the oceans. All creatures that dwell within water are subject to the sea, and its waters can carry its blessed far away or crush and erode those less favored. Miracles of the sea can smash with crushing pressure, conjure vast amounts of water, control the flow of liquids, or purify with the cleansing salt of the oceans. Heroes with the Sea Word have an invincible defense against cold, can breathe water, swim at twice their normal movement rate, and see with perfect clarity underwater, regardless of available light. They may grant these benefits to their companions, except for cold immunity.","words.sky.name":"Sky","words.sky.description":"The sky rules weather, flight, lightning, and wind. Those blessed by its might navigate the air as easily as the earth, wield lightning as a weapon, or blight whole cities with storm and wind. Miracles of the sky might banish hostile weather, smite a target with a bolt of lightning, conjure wind to lift and carry a thing, or perform some other feat of aerial command. Heroes with the Sky Word are never harmed by falling, need not breathe, and have an invincible defense against electricity, cold and injurious sounds.","words.sorcery.name":"Sorcery","words.sorcery.description":"Sorcery is an unusual Word, one representing a bond with the fundamental laws of creation and the deep, subtle secrets of its operation. Sorcery has no native miracles and cannot be used by itself to create effects or mimic its gifts. Instead, mastery of its gifts allows a God-bound to wield the flexible and potent powers of theurgy. Godbound affiliated with the Sorcery Word brush aside the incantations of lesser mages. As an Instant ability, the PC can Commit Effort for the scene to instantly negate any low magic spell being cast in their presence or banish or destroy any low magic construct or summoned entity. This counter does not function against theurgy or arcane powers that are merely similar to low magic spells.","words.sun.name":"Sun","words.sun.description":"Light, hope, vision and purity are the purviews of the Sun Word. The sun banishes malevolent sorcery and gives courage with its radiance. Miracles of the sun might be used to break spells, reveal truths, give hope, or blast the impure with torrents of celestial flame. The sun’s eye is all-seeing, and gifts of vision also fall under this sphere. Heroes with the Sun Word may shed daylight at will up to 200 feet, cannot be blinded or their vision impaired by darkness or mists, and have an invincible defense against fire damage. Their vision can pierce blindfolds or survive even the physical removal of their eyes.","words.sword.name":"Sword","words.sword.description":"The Word of the Sword is that of melee combat, of direct struggle between the Godbound and their foes. Miracles of the Sword involve unerring strokes, tremendous blows, or marvelous escapes from harm in battle. While potent, these miracles do not work at range. Heroes with the Sword Word treat all their weapon or unarmed attacks as magical, cannot be disarmed, and can summon any melee weapon they’ve ever used immediately to hand as an Instant action.","words.time.name":"Time","words.time.description":"Time is a complex Word, one ruling events of the past and future. While temporal gifts can often see the future, such outcomes are not set. Predictions can be overcome by events and choices, though some gifts of Time allow the user to fix a future’s certainty, unless their will is overcome by a stronger power. Miracles of Time can alter the past and rewrite prior events, but it is generally necessary to manipulate specific events rather than simply decree a broad swath of history. Temporal manipulation cannot kill people or erase things of great occult power, but it can alter how past events played out. Heroes with the Time Word always know the exact time, and are immune to any uses of this Word to affect them or scry on them. They may set their Wisdom to 16, or 18 if it’s already 16 or higher.","words.wealth.name":"Wealth","words.wealth.description":"Wealth is the Word not only of gold, but of prosperity of all kinds. Steady pay, full larders, warm clothes, and sturdy roofs are the purview of this Word. Some of its powers interact with the Faction system on page 134, giving blessings or curses to whole cities or nations. Some gifts of Wealth allow the creation of non-magical objects, and a hero can use these powers to create great sums of gold or other precious materials. As a general rule, these gifts can be used to create enough Wealth to accomplish any immediate end desired, but the inflation caused by such a sudden rush of fist-sized jewels will make further artificial Wealth expenditures in the area useless for some time. A hero who operates more slowly, using the gifts to create actual objects of practical use, does not cause this sort of inflation. Such created Wealth is useless for the purposes of exerting Dominion, and cannot be spent for that end. Heroes with the Wealth Word are never short of money, and can always afford anything that costs 1 Wealth or less. They always have sufficient food, drink, and clothing for themselves and their companions, drawing it from nothingness if necessary.","gifts.apotheosis.receive-the-incense-of-faith.name":"Receive the Incense of Faith","gifts.apotheosis.receive-the-incense-of-faith.description":"Gained at second level, the Godbound becomes capable of receiving worship from mortal believers and can begin forming their own cult.","gifts.apotheosis.sanctify-shrine.name":"Sanctify Shrine","gifts.apotheosis.sanctify-shrine.description":"Gained at third level, the Godbound’s worshipers can now sanctify temples and shrines to their deity. When properly consecrated, the Godbound can choose to perceive anything going on within their precincts, though they must intentionally choose to watch. They can target a gift or miracle at any person within the sacred grounds at the usual costs in Effort. Such a marvel is free the first time the Godbound so acts in a day, but each successive wonder requires the Godbound to Commit Effort for the day. Properly sanctifying a shrine requires rites and components costing Wealth equal to the Godbound's level, with increases in their level requiring additional expenditures. If the shrine is desecrated, it must be reconsecrated at the full cost.","gifts.apotheosis.smite-the-apostate.name":"Smite the Apostate","gifts.apotheosis.smite-the-apostate.description":"Also at third level, the Godbound can instantly kill an offending worshiper or afflict them with some debilitating suffering appropriate to their Words.

If another god accepts the worshiper, however, the curse is lifted.","gifts.apotheosis.hear-prayer.name":"Hear Prayer","gifts.apotheosis.hear-prayer.description":"At fourth level, the Godbound is capable of hearing the prayers of their faithful. These usually are a subconscious sussurus of petitions, but they can specifically “listen” for particular topics or people if they wish, becoming alerted when those topics arise or those people address them. The Godbound can communicate with their faithful during their prayers, though this inward voice is subtle and does not compel obedience.","gifts.apotheosis.perceive-the-petitioner.name":"Perceive the Petitioner","gifts.apotheosis.perceive-the-petitioner.description":"At fifth level, the Godbound can see a particular worshiper and their surroundings with an action's focus, knowing everything about their immediate situation that the worshiper knows. This doesn’t grant deep or subtle knowledge of the situation, but it’s enough to make their current circumstances clear.","gifts.apotheosis.mark-of-the-prophet.name":"Mark of the Prophet","gifts.apotheosis.mark-of-the-prophet.description":"At sixth level, the Godbound can consecrate specific worshipers as favored disciples or high priests. One disciple may be chosen for each level of the Godbound, but only one high pontiff can be chosen. If you've access to the deluxe version of Godbound and the mortal creation rules, the disciples instantly become heroic mortals of a level equal to half their patron's level, rounded up and the high priest becomes a heroic mortal of the Godbound's level. Both usually take talents reflective of their patron's portfolio, including a gift or two. If the mortal hero rules are unavailable, treat the disciples as Skilled Mages or Major Heroes from the mortal section of the bestiary chapter, and the high priest as a lesser Eldritch. This consecrating process takes only a moment, but the consecration cannot be taken from the acolyte until they are dead, even if they later leave their god's service.","gifts.apotheosis.attend-the-faithful.name":"Attend the Faithful","gifts.apotheosis.attend-the-faithful.description":"At seventh level, the Godbound can manifest before a praying worshiper, instantly appearing before them no matter how far away the divinity may be, even from a distant realm.

If the faction has a number of worshipers present equal in number to a group of one Power size smaller, the Godbound can selectively add or subtract 2 from any action die roll they take. Thus, if a city of Power 2 had a Power 1 village's worth of faithful among them, they would be subject to the Godbound's influence. The Godbound must be aware of the effort the faction is making to influence the roll, but usually only the most subtle and secretive actions can escape the notice of such a large number of worshipers and their prayers.","words.apotheosis.name":"Apotheosis","words.apotheosis.description":"The Word of Apotheosis is a special Word. It cannot be selected as a bound Word by a Godbound, nor does it have any miracles of its own associated with it. Instead, it represents those special abilities suitable to a budding deity, automatically gained as they grow in might. Many apotheosis powers apply only to worshipers. A worshiper is an intelligent being who knowingly and willingly pledges to worship a Godbound or other deific Word-bound entity, such as a parasite god or Made God. The worshiper may be coerced by circumstances or threats, but cannot be magically compelled or induced. A worshiper may be a servant of only one deity at a time. Those who pledge to a pantheon have their worship assigned to the member god most suited to their nature, whether or not the worshiper is aware of it. Worshipers can turn against a god, but they can't renounce their state. The most they can do is find a new god to accept their loyalty. Gods always know whether or not a person is a worshiper of theirs, though they have no automatic insight into whether or not they are an obedient worshiper. They may reject a worshiper at any time, or accept a change of allegiance from another god's devotees. A god is not automatically made aware of a person's choice to worship them, though they can tell of that fact with a glance at the new worshiper. Gods always have custody of the souls of their devotees. They may damn their faithful dead to Hell at their will, but otherwise, the souls of the dead hover unseen and sleeping in the presence of their god, or are dispatched to the divinity's paradise. A soul unsheltered by a paradise will fall into Hell if their patron deity is slain. The only way to gain the gifts of apotheosis is through gaining character levels. They may be used as given, but the Word does not grant miracles, nor can miracles be used to mimic its powers.","invocations.barred-gates-of-forbiddance.name":"Barred Gates of Forbiddance","invocations.barred-gates-of-forbiddance.description":"By means of an arcane connection the theurge may forbid a subject from entering a particular place. The banned location may be as small as a particular room or as large as a nation, but it must be a single recognizable entity. If the subject is within the area forbidden when the invocation is cast, they must immediately flee to the nearest viable border by the quickest possible route. If brought into it against their will, they can do nothing but flee at the first opportunity. The theurge need not be present inside the area to be warded when casting the spell, but must know its location and general dimensions. Lesser foes are unable to resist this spell, while worthy enemies may make a Spirit saving throw to resist the forbiddance.

The light purifies and cleanses everything it touches, rendering objects clean and neutralizing poisons and disease sources, albeit it does not cure afflicted persons or banish magic. Any lies or intentional misdirections spoken within the light become visible as a plume of smoking filth rising from the speaker’s mouth. The lies of others cause painful feedback to the theurge, and inflict a 1d6 damage die each time a lie is spoken. This damage cannot be avoided or negated. The light lasts as long as the caster desires it and remains conscious.

So long as the caster remains singing, those around them are unable to acknowledge their presence, or the presence of allies who remain close to the theurge. Observers are aware of the sorcerer, but they can do nothing to act on that awareness unless the invocation is ended. The effect is broken if the mage ceases to sing, or they or their allies attack anyone or use hostile effects. Lesser foes are affected automatically by the canticle. For others, the worthy foe with the best saving throw in the group may roll a Spirit save to resist; if successful, no worthy foe is affected, while if it fails, all are subject to the canticle.","invocations.bright-gods-canticle.prerequisites.adept":"Adept of the Gate","invocations.excision-of-days.name":"The Excision of Days","invocations.excision-of-days.description":"A sorcery dearly desired by the more ruthless among the theurges, the rite of the Excision of Days steals life from a person to prolong the life of the caster. The subject must be human, restrained and helpless, and the ritual is too complex to be cast instantly or in a few rounds. The sick and elderly add but a day to the sorcerer’s lifespan. The young and healthy add a month, while infants and children are the richest in life force and add two months apiece to the wizard’s longevity. The victims invariably perish during the ritual, and their souls are dragged down to Hell by the arcane forces involved in the rite. More than one victim can be sacrificed at once if they are all properly prepared. The renewed vitality granted by this ritual is permanent, but prolonged use invariably has a price. After the first century, the theurge usually begins to mutate in ways related to the life force they have stolen, becoming progressively more inhuman and monstrous as less and less of their original life force remains. Many theurges welcome this change, as their new bodies are often gifted with uncanny abilities.","invocations.excision-of-days.prerequisites.adept":"Adept of the Gate","invocations.kiss-of-the-crane.name":"Kiss of the Crane","invocations.kiss-of-the-crane.description":"A small crane-shaped blade is first anointed with the blood of its target, or otherwise combined with an arcane connection to its intended victim.

The magical blade then strikes for 1d6 damage per hit die of the theurge caster, up to a maximum of 10d6. The crane is unerring, but a second crane cannot affect the victim until all injury from the first has healed.

Of these, some have been sealed shut by ancient sorcery or closed by the slow congealing of natural law. This invocation can be used to open a sealed Night Road entrance or give the caster a sense of the general direction and distance to the nearest one. If the caster is careful, they can open the Road only briefly, leaving it accessible for a few minutes before the existing seal scabs back over the entrance. More reckless casters can tear the seal away entirely, leaving the road open for all to pass until fresh sorcery or natural law closes it once more.","invocations.open-the-night-road.prerequisites.adept":"Adept of the Gate","invocations.pore-of-hell.name":"Pore of Hell","invocations.pore-of-hell.description":"A burning sigil is inscribed on a solid surface, its flames dying to a low ember glow after a few moments.

The caster may choose to have the pore activate automatically when a target comes within three feet of it. The pore inflicts 1d6 damage per hit die or level of the caster, to a maximum of 10d6. Lesser foes get no saving throw against the damage, while worthy foes can make a Hardiness save to resist the explosion unharmed. Once discharged, the pore vanishes.

The corpses need not be intact, as bones and tissue will merge and flow under the sorcery. Undead that have already been destroyed once, however, are no longer useful for further necromancy. The great majority of human-sized corpses rise as 1 hit die undead, though the corpses of terrible beasts or fearsome Misbegotten may be more dangerous. The raised creatures are mindlessly loyal to the theurge or any lieutenants they nominate, but otherwise act as do most lesser undead.

Animal targets or those that do not share a language with the theurge can only be made to understand single-word commands. A theurge may have no more thralls under the effect of the seal at once than they have levels or hit dice.

The constructs are tireless and perfectly obedient to their riders, allowing their masters to cross twenty miles of distance every hour they ride, or half that when crossing rugged terrain. Natural beasts fear the steeds and will never approach them. The horses will not fight, but have an armor class of 0 and five hit dice apiece for purposes of withstanding damage. They never panic and are immune to mental influences and other conventional mortal passions. While swift and obedient, the horses drain the fertility out of the earth beneath their hooves in order to power their metal shells. The blackened hoofmarks make it trivially easy to track the riders for up to a month thereafter.

When cast, the invocation summons a gauzy image of the target and a five-foot radius echo of their surroundings. A similar phantasm of the caster appears in the target’s proximity. Caster and target may speak to each other through these phantasms, and a single inanimate object no more than ten pounds in weight may be passed between the two. The tenuous link produces a 25% chance that the object will be lost in transit somewhere in the distance between the two, however, with a brief glimpse of its resting place provided. The link lasts until the caster drops it, to a limit of one hour. If the target doesn’t wish to accept the contact, worthy foes may roll a Spirit save to resist it.

The target must be within the caster’s sight, or else the theurge must have an arcane connection to them. The caster may describe any kind of blight to level at the victim, or describe a misfortune that will inevitably befall the victim if it is in any way possible. Thus, a victim might be cursed to always maim themselves during combat, or have their eyes rot away, or to seethe with a hundred and one sicknesses that don’t quite kill them, or so forth. The curse can only affect them, however, and cannot control other people’s actions or thoughts, so a curse that their loved ones would reject them would be impermissible—albeit a curse that they should poison the food of their loved ones accidentally would be quite possible if they ever have anything to do with their family’s meals. The curse lasts until the theurge lifts it, it is dispelled, or a caster-chosen circumstance comes to pass.

Lesser foes are knocked down, deafened by the word for an hour thereafter and forced to spend their movement action standing up again. The magnitude of the damage done depends on the significance and importance of the secret. A petty secret that isn’t even embarrassing to the caster inflicts no damage at all to hearers. An embarrassing or awkward secret that isn’t otherwise important inflicts a 1d10 damage die on those in the effect. A secret that exposes the caster to significant danger, reveals a weakness that enemies can exploit, or would incur the anger of a dangerous enemy inflicts a 1d20 damage die on those in the effect, and forces all targets to save versus Hardiness or be stunned and unable to act for a round. While the caster may not leave any survivors to discuss the secret, the invocation’s symbolic significance has its effects.

They may act freely during this time, but cannot damage objects or people, take possessions from a person, or move living creatures from their frozen positions. Those around the theurge are oblivious to events that take place while they are acting under the spell. Godbound of the Word of Time and similar temporal creatures are immune to this spell, and may act freely in the otherwise-frozen moment. Repeated use of this spell is dangerous.

The amount of force poured through the invocation is painful to the caster, and they suffer half the target’s maximum hit dice in points of damage from the spiritual scorching. While potent, the energy forced through the arcane connection drives the caster out of thaumaturgic alignment with existing connections.

Records suggest that similar invocations existed for other elemental entities, automatons, and such creatures as might be easily bent to obedience by a Word. Raising a Tumulus of Sanctified Night requires the special consecration of a burial mound, memorial monument, ossuary, catacomb, or other place of death over the course of a week. Three man-sized sanctified markers or totems are placed within the structure; each must be destroyed or dispelled to negate the effect of the invocation. The spell's effects are strongest within the mound. Inside, all undead are treated as greater undead, and any use of a Word or other divine power to affect them requires the divinity to Commit Effort for the day, this extra surcharge being paid once per scene at most. A number of undead equal to a few dozen or a Small Mob can be specially blessed as bodyguards or lieutenants of the necromancer, and are no longer treated as undead for the purpose of hostile powers or influence. Outside the mound or catacomb, the effects are lesser, but still strong. For a one mile radius per level or hit die of the caster, all undead are treated as greater undead and the lieutenants retain their special immunity. For a ten mile radius per level or hit die of the caster, the lieutenants retain their immunity but no other benefits accrue.

If the result requires the actions of worthy enemies, they get a Spirit saving throw to resist the invocation’s promptings. Unfortunately, this meddling with natural law gouges a deep wound in the theurge’s own fate. At one critical point in a future gaming session, the GM may force the hero to automatically fail a saving throw or attribute check, without any chance to commit Effort or use a gift to salvage the failure.

As such, they are a notoriously atheistic tradition, ever prying into unseemly matters and profane secrets, and the ancestor-cultists of Dulimbai regard them with distinct mistrust. Academicians pride themselves on the sublimity of their tradition. Its powers may be invoked spontaneously, and are so subtle that only another Academician can tell when a spell is being cast. This elegance comes at a price, however, as such quick castings force an excessive surge of magical energy through the sorcerer’s brain tissues and leave them faintly debilitated for a time thereafter. Each spell cast spontaneously applies a cumulative -1 penalty to all hit rolls, attribute checks and saving throws until the caster can rest for half an hour. A caster can avoid incrementing this increasing penalty by routing the power through softer tissues and accepting a 1d6 damage die of injury. Aside from this complication, the arts of the Academician are extremely cerebral in nature.

Each likely boy or girl is obliged to spend long years in study before they are permitted to leave the shrine where they were trained. Some are enlisted by a city in need of another flame-sorcerer, while others travel to the wet lands for their damp green secrets. They revere the dead gods of fire and heat, mastering their ancient liturgies to call forth the flame that their people need to survive in a land where there is little to burn. Their arts are quick and easy to invoke, and they may cast spells spontaneously. While the Cinnabar Order is a vital part of the life of the great pyramid-arcologies of the Oasis States, its members are viewed with a mix of fear and distaste. The ancient adepts of the Order were strongly opposed to the transhuman breeding experiments that continue to this day among the families of the pyramids, and their refusal to cooperate in lending Cinnabar Order pupils to the genetic stock won them the displeasure of the cities' sorcerous flesh-shapers. The arcane descendants of these ancient fire-magi preserve their distance from the eugenic experiments of the Oasian nobility, obliging the Order's leaders to remain in the security of their ash monasteries. Despite this ancient hostility, the pyramids still need the magical fires that the Cinnabar Order provides in order to maintain their massive enchanted hydroponic gardens. As such, they are paid in necessities for their monasteries and maintain a certain legal impunity under Oasian law. So long as they don't interfere too overtly with the nobility, they and their servants may ignore almost all other laws.

While they are honored for their utility in dispelling dangerous magic, the wise also understand that they can lay down the same blights they lift up. Most are glad to receive them and glad to see them go once the work is done. A loose fraternity of these practitioners is found in the Raktine Confederacy, some in service to the Black Academies while others serve as freelance defenders of the peasants. A few curse-eaters are also found in Ancalia, where their secrets formed the basis for the Invocatant order of Ancalian knighthood. Their special expertise is sometimes requested when the Invocatants can't deal with a problem alone. The blights of curse-eaters can take many forms: unluck, sickness, or even death in the case of the mightiest banes. These curses will usually last for a month, if strong or overt, or a year for more subtle afflictions. The very mightiest curses can last generations, though these are usually only enough to afflict a victim rather than kill them. Lesser curses can either affect a specific type of action and force a -4 penalty on d20 rolls for it, or be general ill-luck that applies a -2 penalty to all d20 rolls. Greater curses can force automatic failure of specific actions for a few times before they unravel, or simply cause the automatic failure of the first attempt at the action each scene before applying a -4 penalty to further attempts. Greater curses can also inflict severe, lasting sicknesses, or result in the almost-certain eventual deaths of lesser foes. Curse-eaters can prepare their spells beforehand in small tokens which they crush or break to release the effect. When they turn a curse back on its caster or detect a blight’s enactor, they can reach any distance to the sorcerer responsible for it; the magic itself gives them a connection which defies normal limits of range. Apprentice Apprentice curse-eaters can detect the presence of magic, sense and identify curses and their effects, or dispel low magic effects on their own person. Adept Adepts can dispel low magic on a target, receive a vision of the person who laid a curse on someone, or lay a curse on someone that can last as much as a year and inflict subtle but significant hindrance. Master Those who have mastered the curse-eater's arts can dispel low magic on a building or structure and everyone in it, create a shield that negates the next hostile low magic spell, place a greater curse on someone that will probably get them killed within a month or debilitated indefinitely, or place a lesser curse on an entire group of people in your presence. Archmage The rare curse-eater who lives long enough to become an archmage can create a shield that reflects the next hostile low magic spell back at the caster, place a greater curse on a lesser foe that will kill them in moments, place a lesser curse that will dilute as it travels down to their heirs for seven generations, or lift a curse from someone and send it back at its caster.","traditions.empty-way.name":"The Empty Way","traditions.empty-way.description":"Some see the secrets of the ancients as a path to power and control. They wield magic as a tool, using the ancient invocations and occult prayers to compel the tattered remnants of divinity to obey their purposes. The adepts of the Empty Way turned their back on such profane behavior long centuries ago. Since then they have kept to themselves in isolated monasteries and remote hermitages, taking as disciples those souls who sought refuge from the world and a path toward perfection of the soul. Adepts of the Empty Way are found throughout Arcem, though most often as Raktian hermits or monastics who follow a Uniter version of the doctrine, or Toban lamas and their disciples who use their arts to defend and advance the interests of their monastery. Individual mystical practitioners are also found in Dulimbai, along with a scattering of Lomite atheist-monks in the far north. The magic of the Empty Way is quick to employ, and may be cast spontaneously. It requires no material instruments whatsoever, not even when it is cast as a ritual. The sages of this path obstinately re-nounce the use of magic as a tool to affect the outside world, however, and so spells of the Empty Way only ever affect the caster. They may then choose to use their newfound strength to act in the world, but their philosophers consider that a very different prospect than that of the direct employ of sorcery. Initiates of the Empty Way symbolize their renunciation of direct influence on the world by their adoption of a particular taboo, whether celibacy, poverty, rigid dietary bans, strict obedience to a superior, lengthy periods of prayer each day, or some other stricture. Breaking this taboo or neglecting this duty costs them all use of their powers until they can spend a full day in meditation and purification. Those of the Empty Way who learn another tradition’s magic may use that magic normally, though other adepts of the path are apt to view them as very bad believers for meddling with magic that way.

While almost any adequately clever man or woman can learn to use the disjointed arts of the hedge magician, it takes time and patient labor to learn the craft. Apprentices and adepts actually have no magical powers at all, and are simply well-versed in all the knowledge necessary for a village wise-man or wise-woman. Treat familiarity with this tradition as a helpful Fact when such knowledge is relevant to an attribute check. Hedge magic takes the usual ritual time to cast. Hedge mages are found throughout Arcem. Almost every hamlet worth a name has at least an apprentice of the art in residence, though the vast majority of these \"mages\" have no magical talent whatsoever.

Only when their teacher is truly gifted as well do they have the chance to learn the deeper secrets of roots, seasons, and the man-agement of troublesome neighbors. Of course, having true magic can be a curse when those neighbors start demanding miracles from you.

No true magic is learned at this level of experience. Most are apprenticed young and have mastered this level of expertise by their eighteenth birthday. Adept Adepts are proficient healers and herbalists, and talented at dealing with humans and animals alike.

Ancient divine protocols of succor were passed down among numerous nations and peoples, and the ensuing body of knowledge came to be known in many lands as the Merciful Hand. These adepts are honored in all civilized lands, and only monsters or the truly barbarous would dare to harm them. Custom demands that they give at least an hour or two of their labor wherever they might stay the night. Their hospice-academies are rare, but are invariably well-supported by the local nobility, though in some lands this closeness has become an unhealthily incestuous bond between the Hand and the nobility. In these places only apprentices of suitably good breeding are allowed to enter the academy, thus neglecting suitable candidates of less glorious lineage and leaving the hospice much more interested in the concerns of the great. Given how few have the magical gifts required, this can make an adept of the Hand even rarer than they are now. The tradition’s spells are potent, but have no power to harm a person or affect an unwilling target. Its initiates can prepare some of the more commonly-needed spells beforehand in elixirs and poultices. Apprentice The apprentice engages in study of the healing arts and beneficial herbs, with no true magic learned at this level yet. This skill does apply as a useful Fact when performing medical services, however.

Lesser Seers are little more than street-corner fortune-tellers, using a few small arts to puzzle out what a petitioner wants to be told of the future. In cities were several dwell, they usually form together into formal guilds of oracles, the better to avoid treading on each others’ prophecies and to train apprentices in the art. These novices are often recruited from likely urchins, and are little more than slave labor. Many of them have no actual magical talent whatsoever, and make their fortune with a glib tongue and a skill at cold reading. Some Seers with actual talent or determination refine their abilities to truly behold the future and cast their senses beyond their immediate surroundings. While the future is always mutable, they can gain hints of what is to come and visions of likely future events. This gifted elite finds service in the courts of nobles and princes, though most are regularly forced to prove the strength of their gifts by their suspicious patrons. This gift is hindered by the relatively simple warding practices that can serve to blind a Seer’s vision. Any location wrought with these wards becomes impenetrable to a Seer’s magic or future sight.

Exceptionally powerful and costly wards can last indefinitely, however, so long as they remain physically intact.

Master The master can locate people they’ve seen or had carefully described to them, ask questions about probable futures and receive yes or no answers, gain visions of where to go to find something, and scry distant locations known to them. Repeated queries about a single future topic tend to distort the readings, however. Archmage Archmages can penetrate weak wards against divination, such as those laid down by occultists of less than master expertise in their low magic tradition.

Today, the Bright Republic still maintains a reliable tradition of theotechnology in its sophisticated etheric engines and industrial infrastructure, but the deepest secrets of the arts are preserved by the jungle sages of the Thousand Gods. In the present day, theotechnicians serve as engineers and artificers to the great and small, with even their apprentices capable of erecting sturdy structures and repairing damaged tools and buildings. They are in greatest demand when relics of the Made Gods are unearthed, or ancient artifice-marvels need repair and recharging. Most Bright Republic towns have at least one theotechnician on hand to tend to their marvels, and cities make use of them to preserve ancient wonders that no person living can reproduce. The god-tribes of the Thousand Gods have even more such learned men and women, kept constantly in service by their merciless divine tyrants. While applicable to relics and wonders of all kinds, theotechnical work is not cheap. No work can be done unless the theotechnician has access to substantial resources, a minimum of Wealth 1 for any serious work beyond minor repairs and identifications.
