==Summon==
The mace is an ordinary mace, empowered by [[Spirit Plane|Spirit]] - it deals magical rather than mundane damage, and can be
{|
used to direct the Luminary's righteous powers in other, more sophisticated ways.
| style="background:black; color:red"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:grey"|<tt>ANGEL SUMMON<br/>
ANGEL FADE<br/>
ANGEL CEASE <power></tt>
|}
ANGEL SUMMON will call your angel to your side. When your angel has not been summoned, she will be resting invisible, though always near you.
ANGEL FADE will cause your angel to fade back into obscurity.


ANGEL CEASE will end any active powers you might have.
The shield is a complement to the mace, allowing the Luminary to cast several spells of Light. More mundanely,
it can be used to deliver crushing, stunning blows.


==Touch==
The guardian angel is a creature of Spirit, and the Luminary's steadfast companion. It acts in a primarily
{|
defensive, supporting capacity, but is capable of terrible feats of violence. Additionally, angels maintain a
| style="background:black; color:red"|'''Syntax:'''
strict antipathy toward beings of [[Chaos Plane|Chaos]], and can sense their unnatural presences even at great distances.

|}

Using your inherent link to the spirit world, you may summon a spiritual mace, with which to smite down your enemies. Damage to a player will be partially dependent on his or her alignment level, with more  damage accruing to those who believe more strongly in your power. Note that your spiritual mace can be used with the targetting abilities in weaponry.

You are now able to order your angel to afflict your opponent with a variety of afflictions. While this will not require or use your equilibrium or balance, your angel will require a short time to recover before being able to do so again.

Latest revision as of 13:38, 25 September 2024

Spirituality is an art centered around three primary components: the spiritual mace, the shield, and the guardian angel. The trained Luminary employs all three in order to enact the Light's will and fight for the Age of Dawn.

The mace is an ordinary mace, empowered by Spirit - it deals magical rather than mundane damage, and can be used to direct the Luminary's righteous powers in other, more sophisticated ways.

The shield is a complement to the mace, allowing the Luminary to cast several spells of Light. More mundanely, it can be used to deliver crushing, stunning blows.

The guardian angel is a creature of Spirit, and the Luminary's steadfast companion. It acts in a primarily defensive, supporting capacity, but is capable of terrible feats of violence. Additionally, angels maintain a strict antipathy toward beings of Chaos, and can sense their unnatural presences even at great distances.

You are now able to order your angel to afflict your opponent with a variety of afflictions. While this does require your balance and equilibrium, it consumes neither. However, your angel will require a short time to recover before being able to battle again.

You may choose from the following afflictions: Anorexia, stupidity, impatience, vertigo, sensitivity, self-pity, berserking, or migraine.

If your angel is in the process of using spiritwrack upon someone, then the next time it passively wracks their soul she will use the affliction you suggested to her through the use of battle and will mask it. There is no recovery time for your angel if it is used in this method.

Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}

Details: This ability is passive.

Shields are one of the main tools of the Luminary, second only to their bound weapon. Most abilities that make use of your shield will have their damage and balance recovery times altered by the type of shield you use.

The simplest way to look at it is that smaller shields are faster, while bigger shields deal more damage. Some abilities may have more unique effects based on your shield type, however they will be described in the relevant AB help file for that ability.

Below is a list of shields from smallest to largest: Buckler or Cavalry shield Banded shield Kite or Tower shield

All shields can offer the same level of protection, the only thing that matters is the size for your abilities.

The damage will increase by 8% for each affliction over the initial five, and up to a maximum of 80%. Afflictions not given by you will only provide half the damage bonus.

Due to the overwhelming nature of the skill, the aura of rebounding has zero effect against it and cannot be dodged.
