- Revenant
- These are the things that go bump in the night. A congelation of darkness most
- foul. Otherwise known as demons, yokai, or ghosts. They are immortal and can olny be
- destroyed by calcification, the preservation and purifcation into a work of art such as a
- statue, painting, opera, what have you. Their influence on the living world is corrosive
- and poisonous. Large concentrations of revenant explode in events known as a Reckoning.
- Very large scale disasters, the black plague, dustbowl, krakatoa, pompeii, and Los
- Angeles Earth Quake.
- Lacrimarium
- General talismin of warding off the forces of darkness. The tears of a mourner
- fill the glass vessel, taking in curses and hexes and dispursing them over time, however
- a strong enough will can overfill it and break the vessel
- Absolution Round
- A bullet forged from lead and a substance of purity, be it ashes, salt, hair, or
- humor. Lesser beings of darkness may be calcified by it, but typically not for very long,
- or is easily undone
- Crypt Knocker
- A special kind of absolution round forged by incasing a shard of bone from a
- canonised saint inside a pellet of Iron taken from a nail in a church, coffin, or
- crucifix. One of the few things that can invoke the true death of a revenant
- The Heart of Bernadette
- The dessicated heart of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes, bound within a silver cage
- and chain, serves as a sort of lock for calcified revenants, nearby ones which cannot
- become reanimated
- The Lesser and Greater Keys of Solomon
- Two tomes fairly popular in the crusades for the calcification of witches,
- however things got messy around that time peroid and a great number of demons were
- incorrectly bound, and instead escaped into water, smoke, piles of rocks, or in some
- cases a particularly unhappy dog. Regardless, it is still valued as a demon fighting
- tool, a few copies still circulate in the form of pocket-sized spellbooks.
- Exorsisim
- A long and very strenuous process of forciably driving a revenant from one
- posessed vessel and into another suitable object or vessel. Typically it is used on human
- vessels to prevent the death of the host
- Divination Magic
- There are two subsets of this branch of white magic, divination (predicting the
- future) and Dousing. Both subtypes can also reveal the unseen and augment activation
- magic.
- Activation Magic
- Magical sigils, circles, old stonework, symbols of power or otherwise
- supersitious signifigance can be 'activated" by a user of this gift. It can bind
- revenant, prevent the entry, calcify a statue to its core, small tricks of slight of
- hand. And most usefully amplifies the power of Crypt Knockers if one can get close
- enough.
- Miracle Magic
- The magic of preists and clerics. Concecration, Healing, Purification, and the
- canonisation of appratuses to combat Revenants specifically.
- Flame of Exsistance
- Pure energy of creation, is what allows revenant to become revived even after
- milennia. Most mortals olny have but a small ember of the flame but a few known as
- firekeepers harbor flames greater then archdemons. Darkened unnatural flames as in
- revenants can combine together if there are enough, igniting nearby objects into
- horriably twisted forms, or causing a reckoning as the laws of nature lash back against
- that force. Indivisual flames are also known as souls.
- Bone Fire
- A location where a large concentration of flames have burned, and more
- importantly the dedication of a firekeeper soul. A firekeeper soul has the capacity to
- fire exactly one location, in the event that a soul does not do this, the place where the
- firekeeper died will serve as a bone fire.
- Spark of Flame (OW)
- A romantic name for a very specific and very difficult kind of magic to perform.
- It requires the altering of the perception of reality by those involved. Fear, alcohol,
- drugs, humidity, smoke are all common methods of setting the stage. The caster must be an
- activation mage and can olny do this once every month. Summoning a spark of flame takes
- the form of a series of complex symbols floating in midair which can be seen by
- everybody, not just divinators. These circles can be used for a number of very potent
- uses, but have the drastic side effect of drawing many revenants together, and alerting
- them to ones position. A spark of the great flame can olny be performed on a bone fire,
- with an actual fire. The more congegants there are, the more energy can be drawn upon.
- The most dire and terriable act that can be performed here is known as "The Consuption"
- whereupon a Memento is burned and all of its power released at once in a unique event
- called "Contact".
- Nail of the Crucifix (OW)
- The nail that peirced jesus's left hand, when carried as a charm it makes the
- supplicant immune to posession. The nail itself is toxic to all revenant and untempered
- contact with it will cause the creature to dispurse itself and reappear 216 feet away.
- Roasry of Mother Thersea (M)
- This string of beads will cause an aura of tranquility and peace near the
- supplicant. Revenant are not immune to its effect, and all creatures within its radius
- will not be killed, however wounds inflicted will not heal and unconiousness can still
- result.
