AESTHETIC
][ The eyes take on a ring of color about the pupil thematic to their Divine, intensifying in spellcasting or heightened emotional states.
QUIRK
][ They find that they are always comfortably warm, and that even in the tundra they can suffice with just a nice coat. This does not offer protection against spells.

|| SPIRITUAL WEAPON ||
By ritually praying over a weapon for one hour, the blessed may imbue it with some measure of the divine influence. The weapon will glow with the strength of torchlight in a color thematic to the divine, and intangible foes or foes that are otherwise immune or resistant to attacks from mundane weapons always take some amount of damage from successful attacks with it. Only one weapon may be imbued at a time. For bows, the effect applies to all arrows fired from it.

Pondering the nature of our relationship with Ignis Synnove by Mathieu de Courtnay

Mortalkind are tarnished for the purity of perfection is unreachable. We are tainted for the sole fact that we are able to choose and with that choice comes chaos. Our freedom to choose is anathema to Order. We are anathema to Order. Yet, God grants us a way forward. Looking through our inherently sinful nature, God devised a plan; a covenant between Mortalkind and the Divine that offers them a place within Her heart if we only follow their Law. We are but kindling to the flames of the almighty destined to burn away from the real so that only purity may remain. It is only through careful and diligent adherence to the very tenets of the covenant that we may hope to be uplifted and made Holy in the eyes of Synnova. We, as Mortals, may divise a split between the tenets of God in order to better understand and apply them in our lives. For there are Tenets of our very Covenant with God that dictate our relationship with Her and there are Tenets of Law that dictate how we must live and govern ourselves in an orderly manner.

Herein are the tenets of our everlasting Concord with God:
» Thou may recognise other Gods or Goddesses, but ensure your worship is only for the Light.
» Thou shalt believe true all words of the Light, and shalt observe all its directions.
» Thou shalt pray upon each Sunrise, to give good thanks that the Light bathes thy lands upon once more!
» Thou shalt follow all of Light's Tenets.

At the heart of our faith, above all else, there is trust. God commands trust and loyalty for She offers a path toward Holiness. Yet, it is a fundamental truth that this path is not the only choice we are given as Mortals. We exist in a world of seemingly infinite choices and the freedom to pursue whatever or whomever we may. There are the gods of the so-called Pantheon, a flimsy man-made institution created to categorise beings of power beyond normal ken. There are the schools of the Arcane that offer a mortal the power of the sublime and claim to exact no toll. So why, then, in a world in which we are presented with such a variety of choices- so many of which offering paths of comparative ease- must we consider the way of the Light? The answer is found in the very character of God itself; Truth. God is Truth itself and thus the very path which God dictates to us must also be truth- or at least it must lead to the closest to truth that a Mortal can approach. So in trusting the Covenant with God and by following Her Holy law, we find ourselves on the path of truth illuminated in the darkness of disorder. We experience our inherent trust in God each day as night falls and the Sun sets. We have trust, even if it lies beneath our conscious mind, that the Sun will return and that there will be a tomorrow. It is the rise and fall of the Sun- rife with symbolism as it may be- that depicts our relationship and faith in God in the most basic of ways. God gives us the promise that the Light will return and because God's promise is Truth the Light always returns. It is right, then, to give our trust and thanks to God for this continued gift to us and for the assurance it gives us that She will lift us into Holiness when the time of our ascension arrives. Through Her tenets we are made orderly and only in order can we hope to become Holy.

[to come: God's law]
