Line 1: Line 1:
Wielding the holy light as both sword and shield, physical acuity manifests in a slew of both
offensive and defensive capabilities. One skilled in Ascendance will find themselves able to resist
blows which would break mere mortals, to move with greater speed, to rekindle ravaged limbs, all
while denouncing the wicked, hunting down heathens, and delivering them from their evil ways.

retreat to it provided you are within the same area. This will allow you to heal yourself or regain
