Ritual of Creating Holy Water

This ritual takes half the time to advance Ranks.

Experience Multiple: 200

Base Chance: Always works

Effects: As an agent of Nienna of the Tears, Menolly may create Holy Water. This is an act of Faith, and as such requires the sacrifice of Experience Points to the Forces of Light. The volume of water that may be created per act of Faith increases as this Ritual is Ranked and must be stored in crystal vials. This weighs about 1/2 lb. Creation of Holy Water requires clean water, a specially sanctified silver bowl worth at least 2,000 sp (which may be reused) and one hour in a peaceful glade.

Turn the Unholy

Base Chance: WP + 10 (+3/Rank)

Range: 30ft (+5 ft/Rank)

Exp.Mult: 250

Requirements: Menolly must present a holy symbol and call out imprecations and gesture passionately.

Resist: None (See description)

Effects: While Menolly is Purified, she may call upon the power of Nienna of the Tears and shed upon the undead, unholy creatures summoned from the Seventh Plane (or similar places) and Valuraukar, her compassionate tears.

Lesser Undead and Half Devils

1 of the lesser undead may be afflicted, +1 for every two full Ranks. The Turn chance is reduced by the highest WP value that have been targeted.

Greater Undead, Diabolicals and Valaraukar;

The Turn may only be attempted against an individual, and the reducetion to the Turn Chance is equal to twice the target's WP.

If the Turn is successful, the unholy target(s) rolls on the Fright Table, applying any result, even if they would normally not be affected (for example, a skeleton could collapse from a heart attack and be destroyed). The Rank of this Talent is added to the Fright Table result. If the roll is in the range of a double effect, then twice the Rank is added to the Fright Table result. If the roll is in the range of a triple effect, then three times the Rank is added. If Menolly should roll higher than her modified Turn Chance, then her faith has wavered, and she loses the ability, until the next time she Purifies at dawn.

Nienna's Tear

This translucent, teardrop shaped stone looks like cabochon chalcedony. It is bound in ithildin wire on a chain of woven mithril. It weighs an ounce.

It is a holy symbol for agents of Nienna, and subtracts 10 from the result when one of them attempts to Turn the Unholy.

To Menolly's eyes, the tear turns pink when she has been targeted by the unholy or Valaraukar and she may subtract 10 from the result of her Magic Resistance on such occasions. If the modified result of her Magic Resistance check is 1 or less, then Nienna's Mercy will surround her like a transparent dome on the hex she is standing. She, and anyone else standing in the dome, will be entirely protected from the magic. In other words, if she rolls low enough, Menolly could dissipate the effects of Dragonflames in her hex, not suffering any damage at all, so long as the magic were cast by an unholy creature or Valaraukar.

This stacks with other die roll modifiers.

Bloodstone Prayer Bead

This prayer bead acts exactly like an Amulet of Bloodstone. Its setting will easily allow it to attach to a bracelet.

Once a day, resetting at dawn, the bead allows an agent of Nienna to Cast the Healing Spell, which will take effect immediately without requiring Spell Preparation.
