Order Powers

---

As you progress in rank in your Order, you will gain the ability to use various powers.

ORDER PRIVILEGES (or just ORDER PRIVS) will show you your order-related powers.

Many of the Order powers are related to shrines. For these, you must be at an appropriate shrine, and then:

  BESEECH <deity> FOR <power>

Major Shrine Powers can only be used at Major shrines and generally have an effect on the shrine's room and any adjacent locations.

Minor Shrine Powers are typically powers that affect only the user.

Finally, to leave an order you need to REJECT PATRON. Note that this is not an action you should undertake lightly.
