General
- The command 'help benison list' will show you all the benisons you have learned.
- You will start off with at least one benison: the Light of Aeda.
- To get more benisons, you will need to develop your skills. (see the "knowledge requirement" specification for each benison)
- To use a benison that you've learned, use the command specified for it under "process to will benison"
- Rank 2 summoning benisons now also require 35 unmodded cosmology for the knowledge requirement. Maybe this wasn't in effect when they were created?
- For a table view to better visualize requirements by skill tree or by capability formula
Rank 1 Aedarene Benisons
Aeda's Blessing
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified enchantment skill and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 25% of unmodified invocation skill plus 25% of unmodified piety skill plus 25% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 325 Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will that Aeda's blessing should be bestowed upon <target> Although Aeda expects Her followers to persevere and do their best upon their own merits, as a nurturing mother She understands that all occasionally need aid and assistance. As a token of Her love and care, Aeda allows Her clergy to bestow a simple blessing upon members of their flock which grants increased ability at most forms of action, as well as increased luck and swiftness of body.
- Increases all attributes, speed, and luck by an amount proportional to the caster's proficiency. At 100% perfection, this raises all stats by 50.
- Increases speed
Aspect of the Wild
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified heraldry skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified animal lore skill, have at least 75 points among unmodified heraldry skill and unmodified animal lore skill, and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 25% of unmodified animal lore skill plus 25% of unmodified heraldry skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 25 Capability Maximum : 150 Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the spirits of the natural world to bestow the aspect of the <animal> upon <target>
Though the natural world may seem brutish and simplistic to those who are not initiated into its mysteries, those of Aeda's faithful who study the creatures of the wilderness quickly discover that many animals possess profound depths of meaning and sophistication, both in terms of natural ability and symbolic philosophical resonance. Those of the Aedarene who make a concentrated study of both the concrete attributes and the heraldric symbolism of wild animals are gifted with knowledge of this rare benison, which allows the supplicant to assume or bestow upon allies aspects of an animal's abilities, whether rooted in biology or in symbology. These aspects are not enchantments, but rather a focusing of one's own inner potential expressed in a particular manner -- as such, it cannot be dispelled like many other bestowals. Accordingly, however, the act of bestowing such an aspect requires a greater degree of trust between the supplicant and the target than more traditional enchantments. Once one's inner potential has been focused upon a particular aspect, focusing upon a different aspect will remove the benefits of the original.
The aspects currently known to you are those of the aethoss, the badger, the bear, the dragon, the eagle, the hare, the lion, the mouse, the owl, the snake, the sparrow, the toad, the trout, the unicorn, and the wolf.
Dryad & Naiad are available at 100% perfection.
Call Lunar Guardian
Benison Type : summon creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified conjuration skill and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified conjuration skill plus 5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 5% of unmodified piety skill plus 5% of unmodified theurgy skill plus 50% of unmodified spirit lore skill Capability Minimum : 25 Capability Maximum : 300 Energy Costs : twenty-five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a lunar guardian to appear The path of service to Aeda can be a lonely one, and although various creatures may answer the call of the Aedarene from time to time, Aeda recognizes that Her clergy may have a great need for reliable companionship, protection, and transportation. As a result, Aeda can provide a guardian, made from enchanted moonlight, to travel with and protect Her supplicant. The guardian has two forms, a protector form and a steed form, which it can switch between when asked to 'transform'. To dismiss one's lunar guardian, simply tell it to 'begone'.
- Understands Anglic, Caladan, and the caster's primary and native languages
- Skills scale with caster's proficiency
- At around 100 astrology your spectral summon becomes star-infused. Whether this gives it other abilities is unkown.
- At 100% ability in benison, guardian form emits theurgic ectoplasm attack
The Lunar Guardian is put into 4 tiers, each with the abilities of the previous and new ones Tier 1 is 0 perfection, Tier 2 is 25 perfection and Aedarene Rank 2 (Celebrant), Tier 3 is 50 perfection and Aedarene Rank 3 (Hierophant), and Tier 4 is 75 perfection and Aedarene Rank 4 (Elder).
Tier 1 *Steed form is a horse, and guardian form is a hound *Intangible Tier 2 *Steed form is a pegasus and guardian form is a giant eagle *Ability to fly Tier 3 *Steed form is a hippouranos and guardian form is a yeti *Wingless Flight *Steed form gives Internal as respiration type while mounted Tier 4 *Steed form is epona and guardian form is skaijotun *Steed form gives None as respiration type while mounted *Steed form provides intangibility while mounted *Steed form provides hyperspatiality 2 while mounted
Cleansing Purification
Benison Type : cure Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified pathophrasty skill and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 50% of pathophrasty skill plus 50% of evocation skill plus 25% of invocation skill plus 25% of piety skill plus 25% of theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 75 Capability Maximum : 425 Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the blessings of cleansing and purification to be bestowed upon <target> Among the most common afflictions that can befall the flock of an Aedarene are the depradations of venoms and sicknesses. Most of these can easily be removed by a simple effort of will and a small expenditure of Aeda's grace, but some supernatural diseases or poisons may require multiple attempts. The greater one's capability with this benison, the larger the number of afflictions that can be removed with a single attempt and the greater chance for each individual affliction to be removed.
Karth's Tranquility
Benison Type : teleport Knowledge Requirement : be a Lykouros Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified spatiophrasty skill plus 25% of unmodified conjuration skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 0 Capability Maximum : 300 Energy Costs : one point of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to be returned to the Glade of Aeda
For those of Aeda's clergy who also worship Her in the aspect of Her chosen natural warriors, Synodia Lykouros, Aeda makes known a special benison which allows them to return to the Glade of Aeda, even if they do not have especially significant mastery of such magicks. However, the supplicant's current location and circumstances must still allow normal teleportation for the benison to function. As with similar benisons, practitioners with sufficient skill in the magicks of spatial manipulation can achieve a high level of capability with this benison, resulting in a much faster and smoother translocation.
- Perfection corresponds to your chance of bypassing the conceptual navigation minigame and instantly teleporting.
Refuge of Aeda
Benison Type : teleport Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified conjuration skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified spatiophrasty skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified spatiophrasty skill plus 25% of unmodified conjuration skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 75 Capability Maximum : 300 Energy Costs : one point of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to be returned to the Temple of Aeda For many of Aeda's clergy, their travels can take them to distant and perilous places where life and limb may be gravely endangered by hostile creatures and environments. To protect Her faithful, Aeda grants knowledge of this benison to those who become sufficiently proficient with spatial magicks to use it safely. By willing it, a supplicant may return to the Temple of Aeda, provided their current location and circumstances do not prevent teleportation. Practitioners with sufficient skill in the magicks of spatial manipulation can achieve a high level of capability with this benison, resulting in a much faster and smoother translocation.
Conceptual Navigation
Spoiler warning: information below includes details, such as solutions to puzzles or quest procedures, that you may prefer to discover on your own.
Successful use of this benison will prompt you with a selection: left (l) or right (r).
Selecting either will then prompt a selection of difficulty: easy (l), moderate (r), hard (up) or extreme (down).
If your first choice was left, you will be presented with a synonym matching mini game.
If your first choice was right, you will be presented with a mathematical equations mini game.
After you have successfully answered a sufficient number of questions (usually three in a row), you will be given a fifth option: in (i)
This option is the 'win' state of the mini game - select it to complete the teleportation to the Temple of Aeda.
If you answer too many questions incorrectly, the teleportaion will end by placing you at an apparently random location
There does not seem to be a time limit to answer the questions.
End of spoiler information.

Remove Curse
Benison Type : cure Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified abjuration skill and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of abjuration skill plus 25% of invocation skill plus 25% of piety skill plus 25% of theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 250 Energy Costs : fifty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will Aeda's mercy to remove curses from <target> The first and greatest duty of the Aedarene is that of the healer, curing and cleansing the ills and hurts of the innocent. Among the more insidious afflications that can befall those of Aedaris is that of the curse, an incurable effect with myriad and unpleasant forms. Some curses are stronger than others, and one's capability with this benison determines whether a particular curse can be cleansed.
Sustaining Nourishment
Benison Type : heal Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified biology skill and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 90% of biology skill plus 10% of enchantment skill plus 25% of invocation skill plus 25% of piety skill plus 25% of theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 275 Energy Costs : ten points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will sustainment and nourishment to be granted to <target> Even those free of wounds or sickness may still fall prey to hunger and thirst, especially the poor or unfortunate. Aeda, in her mercy, provides to her clergy a spell to sustain those who lack food or drink for a time. Those of Aeda's faithful with particularly high capability with this benison can even bestow the ability to go without food or drink for extended periods of time.
The Light of Aeda
Benison Type : summon effect Capability Formula : 5% of ego plus 5% of willpower plus 25% of evocation skill plus 25% of invocation skill plus 25% of piety skill plus 25% of theurgy skill plus 12.5% of viturgy skill Capability Minimum : 0 Capability Maximum : 200 Energy Costs : one point of goetic energy Processes to Will Benison : will Aeda's Light to shine Aeda's Light to shine upon <target> The most basic and general-use benison that Aeda grants to her followers is the ability to summon the Light of Aeda, a versatile and flexible emanation of holy energy. If directed at a neutral or friendly target, the light will heal; directed at a hostile target, the light will burn the unworthy and slow their movements for a short while. If willed without a target, the originator will shed a soft light until the effect is dismissed, illuminating their surroundings; to dismiss this light, simply will Aeda's Light to fade away.
- When used on a target which you are not in combat with and is not aggressive to you, the Light of Aeda will heal them. When used on a target that is in combat with you or is aggressive towards you, it will deal goetia/light damage to them. When used without a target, it will illuminate you and give you negative light sensitivity.
- At 100% perfection, the attack portion of this Benison will do semi-random holy/light-ish damage types.
- [OOC Marcosy] fun fact, your light of aeda attack rating includes shit not in the benison list such as telesmatic weapon and lumiturgy
- Roughly 60 Astrology will change your Light of Aeda's colouration, while also causing wisps of starlight to cling to your opponent.
- The slow lasts 30 seconds, 60 if you have Starry, and the Starry slow is -15 speed
Treat Mental Illness
Benison Type : cure Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified psychology skill and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of psychology skill plus 25% of abjuration skill plus 5% of invocation skill plus 5% of piety skill plus 5% of theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 25 Capability Maximum : 250 Energy Costs : twenty-five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will that all temporary impairments of proper mental functioning should be removed from <target> Although most afflictions that befall the faithful of Aeda are of the body, all too often the innocent are brought low by afflictions of the mind as well. Through the grace of Aeda, non-permanent mental illnesses may be cleansed with a simple effort of will, although particularly serious illnesses may require multiple attempts. The greater one's capability with this benison, more efficacious the removal attempts are and the more each individual attempt will weaken any remaining, non-permanent illnesses.
Rank 2 Aedarene Benisons
Aeda's Lightning
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified aeroturgy skill and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 20% of ego plus 20% of willpower plus 25% of aeroturgy skill plus 12.5% of evocation skill plus 12.5% of invocation skill plus 12.5% of piety skill plus 25% of bellerophrasty skill plus 12.5% of theurgy skill plus 25 points for being berserk Capability Minimum : 50 Capability Maximum : 400 Energy Costs : five points of amalgamal lightning energy and five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will Aeda's Lightning to strike down <target>
Although Aeda's followers generally prefer to avoid using their powers to harm directly, occasionally Aeda requires that her clergy take a firmer hand in their ministrations. This benison creates a powerful bolt of divinely-empowered lightning to strike down those that the Aedarene deem worthy of such punishment.
Aegis of Life
Benison Type : heal Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in unmodified spatiophrasty skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified conjuration skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified spatiophrasty skill plus 25% of unmodified conjuration skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a protective infusion of ablative space to form around <target>
The vast majority of the restorative powers available to Aeda's clergy are fairly straightforward. However, those of Aeda's faithful who are adept at spatial magicks can produce an unusual effect -- a shield of ablative force which absorbs the damage of attacks. The shield is depleted by each successive attack, but subsequent bestowals of this benison can restore it to its original strength as long as it persists. Once this power is used, however, it may not be used again on the same target for a short period of time.
Aspect of Air
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in unmodified aeroturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified aeroturgy skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 250 Energy Costs : five points of elemental air energy and seven and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to assume the aspect of air Although most of the abilities of the Aedarene are general in nature, some Aedarene favor a particular element or energy above others in their studies and preferred magicks. This ability allows the supplicant to infuse their body with the element of air, empowering their use of such magicks and enabling them to absorb and be healed by such energies. Doing so, however, makes one more vulnerable to energies of the earth.
Only one such aspect may be active at any one time, and donning another will remove any that already exists. To cease assuming any current aspect, simply will yourself to assume your own natural aspect.
Aspect of Life
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in unmodified viturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified viturgy skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 250 Energy Costs : three points of extropic energy and seven and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to assume the aspect of life
Although most of the abilities of the Aedarene are general in nature, some Aedarene favor a particular element or energy above others in their studies and preferred magicks. This ability allows the supplicant to infuse their body with extropic energies, empowering their use of such magicks and enabling them to absorb and be healed by such energies. Doing so, however, makes one more vulnerable to entropic energies.

Aspect of Earth
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in unmodified geoturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified geoturgy skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 250 Energy Costs : five points of elemental earth energy and seven and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to assume the aspect of earth
Although most of the abilities of the Aedarene are general in nature, some Aedarene favor a particular element or energy above others in their studies and preferred magicks. This ability allows the supplicant to infuse their body with the element of earth, empowering their use of such magicks and enabling them to absorb and be healed by such energies.

Aspect of Death
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in unmodified thanaturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified thanaturgy skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 250 Energy Costs : three points of entropic energy and seven and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to assume the aspect of death
Although most of the abilities of the Aedarene are general in nature, some Aedarene favor a particular element or energy above others in their studies and preferred magicks. This ability allows the supplicant to infuse their body with entropic energies, empowering their use of such magicks and enabling them to absorb and be healed by such energies.

- At 100%, allows the user to absorb entropy damage into their entropic energy pool and discharges it in combat
Aspect of Water
Aspect of Water
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in unmodified aquaturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified aquaturgy skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 250 Your Capability : 250 Perfection : 100% Energy Costs : five points of elemental water energy and seven and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to assume the aspect of water Although most of the abilities of the Aedarene are general in nature, some Aedarene favor a particular element or energy above others in their studies and preferred magicks. This ability allows the supplicant to infuse their body with the element of water, empowering their use of such magicks and enabling them to absorb and be healed by such energies. Doing so, however, makes one more vulnerable to fire energies. Only one such aspect may be active at any one time, and donning another will remove any that already exists. To cease assuming any current aspect, simply will yourself to assume your own natural aspect.
- At 100%, allows the user to absorb water damage into their water energy pool and discharges it in combat
Cloak of Mist
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified aquaturgy skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified aquaturgy skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 50 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : six points of amalgamal mist energy and seven and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will that a cloak of mist should be placed upon <target>
Although a great many of Aeda's faithful live on the land or in the air, occasions may rise that one of Her clergy may have reason to visit realms within the great oceans of the world -- or for one of Her clergy from beneath the seas to visit the drier regions. Therefore, Aeda allows a protective enchantment to be cast upon those of Her flock who have need to venture into such situations, provided that the supplicant is sufficiently skiled in the art of aquaturgy. The enchantment also provides a large measure of protection against most forms of non-physical attack. The magicks involved to create this effect, however, are anathematic to those involved in some other protective enchantments, and will dispel such enchantments if they are present.
Performing this benison will cancel out Crystalline Salvation, and vice versa.
Comprehend Languages
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified Thari skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified Thari skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 50 Capability Maximum : 200 Energy Costs : two and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself and all near me to be able to understand all languages
Although Aeda's dominion generally does not extend to matters of language or knowledge, on occasion She may desire for Her clergy to comprehend important writings or to allow communication between members of their flock, even in the presence of a language barrier. Through the use of this benison, the supplicant can transmute all language forms into an approximation of the essence of pure language -- the greater the supplicant's capability with this benison, the more accurate the approximation. However, the effects of this benison only last a short time, even for highly skilled originators.
Crystalline Salvation
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified geoturgy skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified geoturgy skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 75 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : seven and a half points of amalgamal crystal energy and seven and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the bestowal of protection against physical harm upon <target>
In many cases, Aeda's blessings upon Her faithful take the form of curative or restorative magicks. However, Aeda recognizes that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and provides a method of protecting oneself or one's allies from physical harm if the supplicant is sufficiently skilled in the art of geoturgy. The magicks involved to create this effect, however, are anathematic to those involved in some other protective enchantments, and will dispel such enchantments if they are present.
This benison will cancel out Cloak of Mist, and vice versa.
Dispel Mental Afflictions
Benison Type : cure Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified psychology skill and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of psychology skill plus 25% of abjuration skill plus 5% of invocation skill plus 5% of piety skill plus 5% of theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 25 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : fifty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the expulsion of all mental afflictions from <target>
Though more difficult to cleanse than non-permanent mental illnesses, permanent mental afflictions may be dispelled by a supplicant sufficiently skilled in the arts of repairing the mind. As with non-permamnent mental illnesses, particularly serious cases may require multiple castings. The greater one's capability with this benison, more efficacious the removal attempts are and the more each individual attempt will weaken any remaining illnesses.
Dispelling Shout
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified vocalization skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified abjuration skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of abjuration skill plus 25% of invocation skill plus 25% of piety skill plus 25% of theurgy skill plus 50 points for being berserk Capability Minimum : 150 Capability Maximum : 375 Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the purging of all magicks from <target>
Those who would thwart the devoted works of the Aedarene often cloak themselves in protective enchantments, or summon wards that may stymie the efforts of Aeda's clergy or their servants. With a mighty shout, the devout of Aeda can blast away the enchantments of a foe. If this power is used on one who trusts you, they will not be harmed, but against all others this is treated as an offensive action. Foes hostile towards you may also be injured by the power of Aeda, particularly who are themselves manifestations, such as spirits.
Grimro's Judgment
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : be a Lykouros, have at least 35 points in unmodified introspection skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 20% of ego plus 20% of willpower plus 25% of introspection skill plus 12.5% of evocation skill plus 12.5% of invocation skill plus 12.5% of piety skill plus 25% of telesmatic weapon skill plus 12.5% of theurgy skill plus 25 points for being berserk Capability Minimum : 50 Capability Maximum : 400 Energy Costs : ten points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will Aeda's anger to inflict judgment upon <target>
Though most of Aeda's faithful who walk the path of the Lykouros prefer to do combat with fang and claw, some also prefer to call down unique and powerful judgments in the name of Aeda. This benison wracks foes that the supplicant deems worthy of punishment on Aeda's behalf with terrible pain, and cannot be dodged or blocked, but the power of the invocation relies strongly on the supplicant's own understanding of culpability relative to themselves -- in other words, the supplicant's ability to introspect. Each use forces the supplicant to draw their target's imbalance of spirit into themselves, and invoking this power too often or too quickly can result in the supplicant's spirit becoming disordered and rendering the power unusable until one's spirit has been restored to balance.
Last Rites
Benison Type : summon effect Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified thanaturgy skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified evocation skill, and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified thanaturgy skill plus 25% of unmodified evocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 50 Capability Maximum : 150 Energy Costs : half a point of entropic energy and half a point of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will for the cycle of life to be completed, and for all which is unclean to return to the earth
In death, all things return to the earth. One of the most sacred duties of the Aedarene is the consecration and overseeing of this process, the final duty of all life to give life to that which follows it. By invoking Aeda's power with a brief prayer, the Aedarene can cause remains to be consecrated and purified, nourishing both the earth and the invoker. If the invoker's reserves of goetic energy are particularly low, Aeda may see also see fit to grant the invoker a small boon of Her grace in return for the service -- otherwise, the invoker will be granted a small respite of the body and spirit. If this power is invoked while in combat, the supplicant will draw upon the natural forces of thanaturgy to age and wither their opponent.
Lifebloom
Benison Type : heal Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in unmodified floraphrasty skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified evocation skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified floraphrasty skill plus 25% of unmodified evocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the bloom of life to bestow healing upon <target>
In nature, it is well-known that flowering plants can survive damage and devastation that would kill most animals -- a tree can regrow itself from even a stump in many circumstances. By infusing a target with the floraphrastic energies of life and regrowth, the Aedarene have the power to restore health and well-being in an instant. Once this power is used, however, it may not be used again on the same target for a short period of time.
Nature's Infusion
Benison Type : enchant object Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in unmodified enchantment skill and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 25% of unmodified invocation skill plus 25% of unmodified piety skill plus 25% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 200 Capability Maximum : 425 Energy Costs : fifty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will that the blessing of the forest should be permanently placed upon <target>
Through communion with the power and strength of the forest, Aeda's clergy can become capable of infusing physical objects with increased durability and oneness with the natural world. The amount of infusion that takes place when this benison is used depends upon the supplicant's capability with the skills involved, but also upon one's facility with transmuting spiritual energy into goetic energy in general.
Preternatural Quickening
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in unmodified pathophrasty skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified pathophrasty skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the acceleration of healing and rejuvenation within the bodily functions of <target> Most living creatures possess at least some capacity, however rudimentary, for self-repair. By augmenting a target's vital systems relating to this capacity with pathophrastic magicks, a supplicant can introduce a state of temporarily accelerated healing. Furthermore, through the power of Aeda's divine grace, the enchantment which bestows such capability is sufficiently blessed that it can even bestow this capability upon creatures which do not normally regenerate. Once this power is used, however, it may not be used again on the same target for a short period of time.
Raise Dead
Benison Type : summon effect Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points among unmodified viturgy skill and unmodified thanaturgy skill and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 25% of viturgy skill plus 25% of thanaturgy skill plus 25% of evocation skill plus 5% of invocation skill plus 5% of piety skill plus 5% of theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 25 Capability Maximum : 200 Energy Costs : twenty-five points of entropic energy, twenty-five points of extropic energy, and fifty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a return of spirit and life to <corpse>
The natural cycle of life and death is deeply intertwined with the concepts held sacred to Aeda and Her clergy, and typically Aeda does not deign to respond to pleas for a soul to be restored after its time has passed. However, those of the Aedarene who have earned a sufficient measure of Aeda's regard are allowed access to this rare ability, which allows the caster to trade a portion of their own life force in exchange for the revival of a deceased creature. Only certain creatures can be restored in this way. If the creature restored to life is pleasing to Aeda, She may reward the caster with an infusion of additional life energy.
Restore Body
Benison Type : heal Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified evocation skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified viturgy skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified viturgy skill plus 25% of unmodified evocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 75 Capability Maximum : 350 Your Capability : 158.63 Perfection : 31% Energy Costs : thirty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the limbs of <target> to be restored
The suffering and hardship endured by those who suffer the loss of a limb is among the most grievous of trials for those of Aeda's flock. For those of Her clergy sufficiently skilled in the arts of life and healing, Aeda bestows the capability of restoring lost limbs. The number of limbs restored by a single attempt of this benison depends upon the supplicant's capability.
Scalpel of Asklepios
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points among having the unmodified barbery skill and having the unmodified chirurgery skill and have at least 500 points among having the unmodified invocation skill, having the unmodified piety skill, and having the unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 5% of having the expert effective chirurgery skill with related skills contributing plus 5% of having the expert effective barbery skill with related skills contributing plus 5% of having the expert effective invocation skill with related skills contributing plus 5% of having the expert effective piety skill with related skills contributing plus 10% of having the expert effective theurgy skill with related skills contributing plus 10% of having the expert effective evocation skill with related skills contributing plus 10% of having the expert effective bellerophrasty skill with related skills contributing Capability Minimum : 150 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will Aeda's power to cut away at the body of <target>
Though much of the healing and curing power of Aeda's clergy comes directly from divine power, a small subset of Aeda's faithful revere the teachings of the followers of Asklepios, the god of medicine. By channeling Aeda's power into a cutting force, the supplicant can deal tremendous damage to a foe. This attack draws a great deal of its damaging potential from the user's knowledge of their target's weaknesses. Additionally, this attack cannot miss; however, it is ineffective against foes who are not harmed by physical forces.
Shillelagh
Benison Type : enchant object Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified floraphrasty skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified floraphrasty skill plus 25% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 75 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : twenty-five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the grace of Aeda to transform the humble stick in my possession into a mighty shillelagh
Among the Aedarene, the practice of carrying a shillelagh -- an enchanted walking stick formed from the ensorcelled wood of a living tree -- has been a time-honored tradition since the days of the ancient Graecan empire. Although Aeda no longer grants Her supplicants the knowledge of how to separate a living branch from a tree, She instead grants them the knowledge of how to turn an ordinary stick into a powerfully enchanted weapon capable of striking with incredible force. Particularly adept practitioners of nature magicks can even cause the shillelagh to release rays of theophanic energy, and there are rumors that still more powerful uses of its power exist. A shillelagh typically resizes itself to the needs of its wielder, but if dropped or discarded, it will revert to a simple stick.
- Sometimes creates a weapon of an appropriate size for your character, ie: wands for small, staff for medium, and up to an entire tree for enormous characters, though this item is not guaranteed to be of a usable weight or durability
- Over 30% provides Hierophanic Lance - goetia laser, pretty straightforward. Its activity cost is 20.
- Over 65% provides Halo of Grace - attack that cannot miss and does a shitton of bonus damage, both only against undead targets. Still deadly against the living. Its activity cost is 25.
- 100% provides Lash of Mastery - attack which draws from your skill mastery - goetia by default, air from aeroturgy, water from aquaturgy, poison from floraphrasty, earth and fire from geoturgy, disease from pathophrasty, temporal and force from spatiophrasty, entropy from thanaturgy, and extropy from viturgy. Need minimum of 150 in the skill for it to manifest per Marcosy. Attack will draw from up to three effects each time to create a combo effect
still uses the staff skill even after these perfection levels, however the maneuvers granted do not. the attack rating and damage ratings use a lot of Wyrding.
Summon Air Elemental
Benison Type : summon creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified conjuration skill and have at least 35 points in unmodified aeroturgy skill; and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 50% of unmodified aeroturgy skill plus 50% of unmodified cosmology skill plus 5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 5% of unmodified piety skill plus 5% of unmodified theurgy skill plus 50% of unmodified conjuration skill Capability Minimum : 50 Capability Maximum : 300 Energy Costs : eight and a half points of elemental air energy and twelve and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will an air elemental to appear
Though Aeda's primary bond is with the earth and the forests, Her dominion also extends to the air and the clouds. When Her faithful are in need, Aeda may allow the summoning of beings made of air and wind to strike down her clergy's foes. These beings are composed not of normal winds, but of the essence of air itself, capable of transforming normal matter into air upon contact. As with most of the summoned companions of the Aedarene, however, the elemental will return to whence it came after some time. To dismiss one's earth elemental, simply tell it to 'begone'. At 25% perfection, elemental gains a lightning discharge attack. At 50% perfection, elemental gains a gnostic wind attack.
Summon Earth Elemental
Benison Type : summon creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified conjuration skill and have at least 35 points in unmodified geoturgy skill; and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 50% of unmodified geoturgy skill plus 50% of unmodified cosmology skill plus 5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 5% of unmodified piety skill plus 5% of unmodified theurgy skill plus 50% of unmodified conjuration skill Capability Minimum : 50 Capability Maximum : 300 Energy Costs : eight and a half points of elemental earth energy and twelve and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will an earth elemental to appear
Those of Aeda's clergy are known to have a profound and powerful bond with the elemental earth of the world. In times of great need, the Aedarene may call upon this bond to have the very earth itself rise up to strike down the opponents of Aeda's faithful. As with most of the summoned companions of the Aedarene, however, the elemental will return to whence it came after some time. To dismiss one's earth elemental, simply tell it to 'begone'. At 25% perfection, earth elemental gains an acid discharge attack. At 50% perfection, earth elemental gains geysers of toxic dust as an attack.
Summon Water Elemental
Benison Type : summon creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 35 points in unmodified conjuration skill and have at least 35 points in unmodified aquaturgy skill; and have at least 150 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 50% of unmodified aquaturgy skill plus 50% of unmodified cosmology skill plus 5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 5% of unmodified piety skill plus 5% of unmodified theurgy skill plus 50% of unmodified conjuration skill Capability Minimum : 50 Capability Maximum : 300 Energy Costs : eight and a half points of elemental water energy and twelve and a half points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a water elemental to appear Though Aeda's primary bond is with the earth and the forests, Her dominion also extends to the oceans of the world. When Her faithful are in need, Aeda may allow the summoning of beings made of purest water to strike down her clergy's foes. These beings are composed not of normal water, but of the essence of water itself, capable of transforming normal matter into water upon contact. As with most of the summoned companions of the Aedarene, however, the elemental will return to whence it came after some time. To dismiss one's earth elemental, simply tell it to 'begone'. At 25% perfection, elemental gains an ice attack. At 50% perfection, elemental gains geysers of ooze as an attack.
Rank 3 Aedarene Benisons
Lightning Storm
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in unmodified aeroturgy skill and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 20% of ego plus 20% of willpower plus 25% of aeroturgy skill plus 12.5% of evocation skill plus 12.5% of invocation skill plus 12.5% of piety skill plus 25% of telesmatic weapon skill plus 12.5% of theurgy skill plus 25 points for being berserk Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 400 Your Capability : 400 Perfection : 100% Energy Costs : fifteen points of amalgamal lightning energy and fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a storm of lightning to strike down all my foes A more aggressive variant of Aeda's Lightning, this particular use of Aeda's power is generally granted only to those of Her clergy possessing both great devotion to the Earthmother's teachings and a considerable mastery of magicks of the air. Willing this benison causes multiple bolts of divine lightning to strike down all of one's enemies at once -- as such, one must be actively engaged in combat to perform it.

Lunar Claws
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : be a Lykouros, have at least 35 points in unmodified theology skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified killer instinct skill, and have at least 300 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 25% of unmodified killer instinct skill plus 25% of unmodified theology skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 25 Capability Maximum : 150 Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the moonlight to bestow upon my claws the power of <energy type>
More than other servants of Aeda, Synodia Lykouros reveres and honors the moon and the sacred light it shines. Lykouroi who also serve Aeda as members of Her formal clergy and strike a balance between knowledge of sacred lore and the bestial nature of the wolf are given access to this secret rite, which enhance's the claws of the Lykouros with an aspect of the moonlight. This change lasts until the Lykouros changes forms, disincarnates, or wills this benison again.
You can currently bend the moon's light in order to enhance your claws with goetia, might, and poison.
- 145 skill in Viturgy unlocks the ability to enhance with extropy
- 145 skill in Thanaturgy unlocks the ability to enhance with entropy
Aria of Innocence
Benison Type : summon effect Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in unmodified evocation skill, have at least 35 points in unmodified singing skill, have at least 145 points among unmodified vocalization skill and unmodified singing skill, and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 5% of ego plus 5% of willpower plus 25% of evocation skill plus 12.5% of invocation skill plus 12.5% of piety skill plus 12.5% of theurgy skill plus 12.5% of singing skill plus 12.5% of vocalization skill plus 12.5% of empathy skill plus 12.5% of manipulation skill Capability Minimum : 75 Capability Maximum : 250 Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to give voice to the aria of innocence
Peace is much beloved by Aeda, and though She accepts that strife and woe are unlikely to be wholly expunged from the mortal realm, She shows favor to those of Her supplicants who work to preserve peace and tranquility whenever possible. Those of Aeda's clergy who possess sufficient skill in the arts of both peace and song are gifted with knowledge of this rare benison, which allows the supplicant to surround themselves with an aura of pacifying song, preventing hostile creatures from attacking so long as the song persists. Sustaining the song is tiring, however, and can only be sung for so long before the mortal heart must cease. If one is actively under attack, the song can be uttered in a short burst, halting all combat. Wretched creatures with no emotions are immune to the song's effects. To cease uttering the song prematurely, will yourself to cease uttering the aria of innocence.
Lifebane
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in unmodified pathophrasty skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 20% of ego plus 20% of willpower plus 25% of pathophrasty skill plus 12.5% of enchantment skill plus 12.5% of invocation skill plus 12.5% of piety skill plus 12.5% of theurgy skill plus 25 points for being berserk Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 325 Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will my enemies to be brought low by sickness and terror Though the Aedarene are generally protectors and nurturers of life, with the knowledge required to perform these duties also comes the power to disrupt and devastate the processes of life. In particular, the awareness of and control over the natural processes of the body allows the Aedarene, if so inclined, to will sickness and terror upon those who Aeda deems worthy of Her wrath. This supernatural plague affects even creatures normally immune to disease and poison, although its effectiveness is greatly reduced against such targets.
Retrieve Companion
Benison Type : summon creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in unmodified spatiophrasty skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified conjuration skill, and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified spatiophrasty skill plus 25% of unmodified conjuration skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 225 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : fifty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will space to be folded by Aeda's power in order to retrieve <target>[, companion of <source>]
One of the common behaviors within the natural world is the urge to bond -- to gather together in packs, schools and other communities. The Aedarene are no exception to this rule, and tend to associate both with each other and with external communities. However, occasionally a member of a community becomes lost, and cannot be easily retrieved. Through the grace of Aeda, this benison can be used to retrieve one of the caster's companions or group members, or the companion or group member of a nearby ally. This ability will not function on Adventuring Company members unless they are also your group member.
In order to use this ability, the caster must possess an unkept spherical pearl to be used as a seed for the spatial convergence between the target's current location and the caster's location. Both locations must also be free of any effects which block teleportation effects.
Shadows of the Grave
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in having the unmodified mortuary skill, have at least 145 points in having the unmodified theology skill, and have at least 500 points among having the unmodified invocation skill, having the unmodified piety skill, and having the unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 5% of having the expert effective mortuary skill with related skills contributing plus 5% of having the expert effective theology skill with related skills contributing plus 5% of having the expert effective invocation skill with related skills contributing plus 5% of having the expert effective piety skill with related skills contributing plus 10% of having the expert effective theurgy skill with related skills contributing plus 10% of having the expert effective evocation skill with related skills contributing plus 10% of having the expert effective bellerophrasty skill with related skills contributing Capability Minimum : 150 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will Aeda's power to grant death to <target>
Death being a part of the natural cycle, most Aedarene are content to cease their involvement with matters of the flesh at that time. However, some Aedarene study the teachings of those who concern themselves with the state of the body after death. Those of Her followers who master this knowledge, as well as knowledge of how various other religions view the concept of the afterlife, may find themselves entrusted with the power to use the symbols of the grave to invoke a powerful attack against one's foe. This benison is especially effective against the undead.
Summon Tsunamion
Benison Type : summon creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in unmodified aquaturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified conjuration skill, and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified aquaturgy skill plus 50% of unmodified conjuration skill plus 5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 5% of unmodified piety skill plus 5% of unmodified theurgy skill plus 50% of unmodified spirit lore skill Capability Minimum : 200 Capability Maximum : 425 Energy Costs : thirteen and a half points of elemental water energy and twenty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a tsunamion to appear
In addition to the summoning of normal water elementals, those of Aeda's clergy who are particularly knowledgeable in the arts of water magicks are capable of summoning a particularly powerful spirit of water, known as a Tsumanion. As with most of the summoned companions of the Aedarene, however, the spirit will return to whence it came after some time. To dismiss one's tsumanion, simply tell it to 'begone'.
Dust to Dust
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in unmodified thanaturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified evocation skill, and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 20% of ego plus 20% of willpower plus 25% of thanaturgy skill plus 12.5% of evocation skill plus 12.5% of invocation skill plus 12.5% of piety skill plus 12.5% of theurgy skill plus 50 points for being berserk Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 375 Energy Costs : four points of entropic energy and ten points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will destruction by Aeda's power upon all blasphemous creatures in my presence
It is widely-known that Aeda has within Her heart grace and mercy for every living creature, and that She raises Her hand against life only reluctantly. However, that mercy does not extend to the undead, whom She considers a blasphemous and wretched blight upon the natural cycle. As a result, Aeda bestows this ability to those of Her clergy most skilled in the magicks of entropy -- the power to snuff out the undead in great numbers. The larger the number of undead present when this ability is used, the greater the damage inflicted. This attack will harm living creatures to some degree, but gains no extra benefits against them. This attack will always strike undead creatures without missing.
Cooldown seems to be 4.5-5 minutes.
Summon Volcanion
Benison Type : summon creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in unmodified geoturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified conjuration skill, and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified geoturgy skill plus 50% of unmodified conjuration skill plus 5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 5% of unmodified piety skill plus 5% of unmodified theurgy skill plus 50% of unmodified spirit lore skill Capability Minimum : 200 Capability Maximum : 425 Energy Costs : sixteen points of amalgamal magma energy and twenty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a volcanion to appear
In addition to the summoning of normal earth elementals, those of Aeda's clergy who are particularly knowledgeable in the arts of earth magicks are capable of summoning a particularly powerful spirit of the deep earth, known as a Volcanion. As with most of the summoned companions of the Aedarene, however, the elemental will return to whence it came after some time. To dismiss one's volcanion, simply tell it to 'begone'.
At 50% perfection, volcanion gains the ability to release a storm of smoky gravity.
Summon Arborian
Benison Type : summon creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in unmodified floraphrasty skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified conjuration skill, and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified floraphrasty skill plus 50% of unmodified conjuration skill plus 5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 5% of unmodified piety skill plus 5% of unmodified theurgy skill plus 50% of unmodified spirit lore skill Capability Minimum : 200 Capability Maximum : 425 Energy Costs : forty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will an arborian to appear
Of all life upon Aedaris, the lives of the trees and the forest are known to be particularly sacred to Aeda. As a result, those of Aeda's clergy who are particularly knowledgeable in the arts of plant magicks are capable of summoning a particularly powerful spirit of the forest, known as an Arborian. As with most of the summoned companions of the Aedarene, however, the spirit will return to whence it came after some time. To dismiss one's arborian, simply tell it to 'begone'.
- shoots beams of thaumaturgic ectoplasm from its eyes

Summon Vitalix
Benison Type : summon creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in unmodified viturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified conjuration skill, and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified viturgy skill plus 50% of unmodified conjuration skill plus 5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 5% of unmodified piety skill plus 5% of unmodified theurgy skill plus 50% of unmodified spirit lore skill Capability Minimum : 200 Capability Maximum : 425 Energy Costs : eight points of extropic energy and twenty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a vitalix to appear Of all the forces of nature, that of life is known to be particularly sacred to Aeda. As a result, those of Aeda's clergy who are particularly knowledgeable in the arts of life magicks are capable of summoning a particularly powerful spirit of life, known as a Vitalix. While the vitalix persists, its summoner and those whom it considers allies will be healed periodically by occasional pulses of life energy. As with most of the summoned companions of the Aedarene, however, the spirit will return to whence it came after some time. To dismiss one's vitalix, simply tell it to 'begone'.
Best Intentions
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 75 points in having the unmodified enchantment skill and have at least 500 points among having the unmodified invocation skill, having the unmodified piety skill, and having the unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 100% of having the unmodified enchantment skill plus 25% of having the unmodified invocation skill plus 25% of having the unmodified piety skill plus 25% of having the unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 425 Your Capability : 328.5 Perfection : 70% Energy Costs : thirty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will that all my companions nearby be bestowed with the blessing of Aeda Aeda has also been known to allow her followers to dispense her blessing out to their companions in the surrounding area. Only those trusting the member of Her clergy will be affected by this benison. She grants this act of kindness because Aeda understands the overwhelming stress on her faithful when put into demanding situations so often.

Benison Type : summon effect Capability Formula : 100% of unmodified divination skill plus 25% of unmodified invocation skill plus 25% of unmodified piety skill plus 25% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 0 Capability Maximum : 250 Energy Costs : five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to be granted knowledge and insight regarding <target>
Although Aeda's dominions do not generally encompass the arenas of knowledge or insight, She has found that it is often helpful for the leaders of Her clergy to be gifted with greater vision into the depths of matters than can be seen with the mortal eye. As a result, Aeda provides this benison to those of Her clergy who attain the rank of Elder, allowing them to petition Her for knowledge regarding any creature or item they may come across. However, Aeda's insight is often too overwhelming for mortal minds to receive all at once, and only those who are highly skilled with this ability can handle the full amount of the vast influx of knowledge without being harmed.

Verdant Eruption
Benison Type : summon effect Knowledge Requirement : have at least 195 points in unmodified floraphrasty skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified conjuration skill, and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 20% of ego plus 20% of willpower plus 25% of floraphrasty skill plus 12.5% of conjuration skill plus 12.5% of invocation skill plus 12.5% of piety skill plus 12.5% of theurgy skill plus 25 points for being berserk Capability Minimum : 125 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : fifty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the natural world to erupt and reclaim the area where I stand
Above all else, the forest is the portion of the natural world where it is the easiest for mortals to feel close to Aeda's true nature. Although there exist various methods for Aeda's clergy to call upon the power of the forest, supreme among these is the power to call forth the might of the natural world directly, willing plants to emerge from the ground and crush or strangle one's foes. The enchanted vegetation summoned by this ability is capable of constricting even creatures without physical form, such as spirits and shades, and will continue to entangle and trap foes for some time after its initial eruption. The plant life created by this benison will persist for quite some tome in the area where the benison was willed, but it cannot be invoked in an area where plant life cannot survive or where there is no ground.

Pyroclastic Gauntlet
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 195 points in unmodified geoturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 750 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 50% of geoturgy skill plus 50% of enchantment skill plus 12.5% of invocation skill plus 12.5% of piety skill plus 12.5% of theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 225 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : twelve points of amalgamal magma energy and fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the creation of a mantle of burning stone for <target>
Though Aeda grants Her clergy the ability to attack directly in some instances, the true measure of their offensive power is their ability to augment the fighting power of others (or, more rarely, themselves). This particular enchantment grants the targeted creature the ability to release a devastating cascade of magma against all opponents with each attack, but only lasts for a few moments before dissipating.

Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 195 points in unmodified viturgy skill, have at least 145 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 750 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 50% of unmodified viturgy skill plus 50% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 250 Capability Maximum : 300 Energy Costs : six points of extropic energy and fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a massive infusion of power and life energy into <target> Though many of the enchantments that Aeda's power bestows upon allies add a new capability foreign to the ally's own characteristics, a few instead amplify the fundamental properties of the target's own characteristics. This particular enchantment infuses the target with a tremendous amount of life energy, multiplying their normal capabilities dozens of times over in every category of aptitude. The enchantment only lasts a few moments, however, as sustained exposure to such power quickly destroys any mortal creature.
- At 100% perfection, I gained 875 Strength/Agility/Vitality/Ego/Intellect, 841 Willpower, and 830 Perception.
Anointing Cascade
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : have at least 195 points in unmodified aquaturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified evocation skill, and have at least 750 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 20% of ego plus 20% of willpower plus 25% of having the aquaturgy skill plus 12.5% of having the evocation skill plus 12.5% of having the invocation skill plus 12.5% of having the piety skill plus 25% of having the bellerophrasty skill plus 12.5% of having the theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 100 Capability Maximum : 400 Energy Costs : three and a half points of elemental water energy and five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will a cascade of blessed water to wash away <target> Most practitioners of the water magicks of the Aedarene eschew direct attacks upon their foes, preferring instead to enhance their allies or summon powerful minions, but the elite aquaturges of Aeda's clergy are granted knowledge of a unique and powerful attack which deluges a single foe with blessed water capable of melting away their bodies. In the presence of multiple foes, however, the surge of blessed water can leap from one foe to the next, increasing in power each time. The greater the supplicant's capability with this ability, the larger the chance for each leap and the larger the number of total potential leaps.

Infusion of Glory
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 195 points in unmodified pathophrasty skill, have at least 145 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 750 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 50% of unmodified pathophrasty skill plus 50% of unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 250 Capability Maximum : 300 Energy Costs : thirty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the tremendous enhancement and acceleration of the biological processes of <target> While lesser pathophrastic magicks can augment a target's vital systems relating to self-repair to induce accelerated healing, the most powerful enchantments of the discipline can induce a state of overdrive in any creature's bodily functions. This state grants near-instantaneous regeneration from any injury, tremendous resistance to poison and disease, the ability to regrow limbs, and even the capability to survive without vital limbs for a few moments (hopefully long enough for such limbs to regenerate). Additionally, through the power of Aeda's divine grace, the enchantment which bestows such capability is sufficiently blessed that it can even bestow this capability upon creatures which do not normally regenerate. The enchantment only lasts a few moments, however, as sustaining such a state for longer than a minute causes the target's bodily rhythms to burn themselves out permanently.
Disruption of Form
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : have at least 195 points in having the unmodified spatiophrasty skill and have at least 750 points among having the unmodified invocation skill, having the unmodified piety skill, and having the unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 20% of ego plus 20% of willpower plus 25% of having the spatiophrasty skill plus 12.5% of having the evocation skill plus 12.5% of having the invocation skill plus 12.5% of having the piety skill plus 25% of having the bellerophrasty skill plus 12.5% of having the theurgy skill plus 25 points for being berserk Capability Minimum : 150 Capability Maximum : 375 Your Capability : 375 Perfection : 100% Energy Costs : fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will Aeda's power to perform the hostile spatial dissolution of <target> Although the discipline of spatial magicks is generally used in a benign fashion by the followers of Aeda, there exists a rare and particularly devastating offensive use of such power that Aeda has been known to grant to those of her followers with the control and favor required to control it. This attack disrupts an enemy's form significantly by attempting to teleport its vital components into incompatible configurations, and as such draws a great deal of its damaging potential from the user's knowledge of their target's weaknesses. This attack cannot miss, but will not function against a foe protected from teleportation.

This particular enchantment surrounds the targeted creature with a deadly miasma of gloom that protects the target from harm while sapping the life from all nearby opponents with each attack, but only lasts for a few moments before dissipating.
Raging Tornado
Benison Type : enchant creature Knowledge Requirement : have at least 195 points in unmodified aeroturgy skill, have at least 75 points in unmodified enchantment skill, and have at least 750 points among unmodified invocation skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 50% of aeroturgy skill plus 50% of enchantment skill plus 12.5% of invocation skill plus 12.5% of piety skill plus 12.5% of theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 225 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : ten points of elemental air energy and fifteen points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the might of raging winds to be bestowed upon <target> Though many of the enchantments that Aeda's power bestows upon allies add a new capability foreign to the ally's own characteristics, a few instead amplify the fundamental properties of the target's own characteristics. This particular enchantment infuses the target with a tremendous amount of life energy, multiplying their normal capabilities dozens of times over in every category of aptitude. The enchantment only lasts a few moments, however, as sustained exposure to such power quickly destroys any mortal creature.

Requires Aedarene Rank 3

The twinkling lights of the firmament are not without significance to the Earthmother, and She grants a unique and special boon to those rare few of Her clergy who make great efforts to study the sky and the stars. By willing this benison, the supplicant can summon a magickal cloak made of the raw essence of the starry sky. Although providing only modest protection, the cloak nevertheless captivates and inspires those who wear it, while bringing the might of the stars to bear in combat against the wearer's foes. To banish one's constellation cloak, will it to disappear.
- At 100% perfection, wearer gains the ability to travel to a microcosm in Exoma when worn. (Syntax is "will myself to journey to the stars")
- Boosts at Imagination, Introspection, Meditation, Musical Composition (and maybe others?) by 50 at 100% perfection when worn.
The points of light upon your large star-filled cerulean cloak glow softly. You feel a rush of power bolstering your reserves of spiritual energy.
Maybe just a spiritual energy input?
The points of light upon your large star-filled cerulean cloak shift subtly.
No idea what that one does.
You feel a rush of power bolstering your reflexes and kinesthetic capabilities. The points of light upon your large star-filled cerulean cloak swirl hypnotically.
Big Huge Buff to Combat Reflexes
A mote of starlight drifts from your large star-filled cerulean cloak into the leering shimmering-violet-skinned female dana wight's right arm, flashburning it, despite her attempt to dodge, though she resists the attack somewhat.

Song of the Spheres
Requires Aedarene Rank 4
Benison Type : attack Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in having the unmodified astrology skill, have at least 35 points in having the unmodified singing skill, have at least 145 points among having the unmodified vocalization skill and having the unmodified singing skill, have at least 75 points in having the unmodified evocation skill, and have at least 750 points among having the unmodified invocation skill, having the unmodified piety skill, and having the unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 20% of ego plus 20% of willpower plus 10% of having the aeroturgy skill plus 10% of having the aquaturgy skill plus 10% of having the viturgy skill plus 25% of having the astrology skill plus 25% of having the singing skill plus 12.5% of having the evocation skill plus 12.5% of having the invocation skill plus 12.5% of having the piety skill plus 12.5% of having the theurgy skill plus 25 points for being berserk Capability Minimum : 175 Capability Maximum : 325 Your Capability : 325 Perfection : 100% Energy Costs : twelve and a half points of amalgamal thunder energy, twelve and a half points of amalgamal light energy, and twenty-five points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will myself to give voice to the music of the spheres The magic and mystery of the starry sky is powerful and capable of great effects, as is the power of song. When they are combined, however, the resulting heterodyning of conceptual wavelengths is tremendously devastating. As a result, Aeda grants knowledge of this cataclysmic benison to only a very select few of Her clergy who master multiple, highly disparate disciplines regarding these eldritch power sources. Channeling the Song of the Spheres allows the supplicant to unleash a devastating song that damages and slows all foes currently attacking them for a lengthy period of time, but the power is sufficiently dangerous to use that it can only be performed occasionally.

Discern Secrets
Benison Type : summon effect
Knowledge Requirement : have at least 195 points in unmodified
divination skill and have at least 500 points among unmodified invocation
skill, unmodified piety skill, and unmodified theurgy skill
Capability Formula : 50% of unmodified divination skill plus 12.5% of
unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of unmodified piety skill plus
12.5% of unmodified theurgy skill
Capability Minimum : 150
Capability Maximum : 200
Energy Costs : one hundred points of goetic energy
Process to Will Benison : will the secrets and fortunes of <target> to be
revealed to me
Though the vast majority of Aeda's dominion encompasses the arts of life,
healing, fertility, and the natural cycle, there are a small number of
abilities She has been known to grant Her clergy beyond the scope of Her usual
portfolio, provided that the supplicant is sufficiently schooled in the
required knowledges to responsibly wield such powers. Among the rarest of
these is the ability to discern secrets -- glimpsing the pasts and deepest
desires of those whom Aeda deems important to the path of Her supplicant.
This ability is both very costly and can only be used once in a great while,
but allows the discernment of knowledge otherwise completely impossible to
obtain by mortals.
- 24 hour cooldown

Balance of Seasons
Benison Type : summon effect Knowledge Requirement : have at least 145 points in having the unmodified enchantment skill; have at least 195 points in having the unmodified philosophy skill; have at least 195 points in having the unmodified metaphysics skill; have at least 35 points in having the unmodified lexiturgy skill and have at least 145 points in having the unmodified order affinity skill; have at least 35 points in having the unmodified chaoturgy skill and have at least 145 points in having the unmodified chaos affinity skill; have at least 35 points in having the unmodified kalaturgy skill and have at least 145 points in having the unmodified sephirotic affinity skill; or have at least 35 points in having the unmodified cacoturgy skill and have at least 145 points in having the unmodified qlippotic affinity skill; and have at least 750 points among having the unmodified invocation skill; having the unmodified piety skill; and having the unmodified theurgy skill Capability Formula : 25% of having the unmodified metaphysics skill plus 25% of having the unmodified philosophy skill plus 25% of having the unmodified enchantment skill plus 12.5% of having the unmodified invocation skill plus 12.5% of having the unmodified piety skill plus 12.5% of having the unmodified theurgy skill Capability Minimum : 75 Capability Maximum : 350 Energy Costs : fifty points of goetic energy Process to Will Benison : will the spiritual balance of <target> to be restored with respect to <season> Aeda views the natural order as a harmonious blend of all perspectives and motivations, with each having its proper place in the sequence of actions encompassing the natural cycle of creation, life, and destruction. To those of Her followers that She deems worthy, however, She has been known to grant the ability to alter infusions of spiritual essence present in others, particularly the ability to remove unwanted accumulations of ordinal or moral energies. The practitioner accomplishes this goal by infusing their target with the opposite energy, requiring significant control and existing accumulations of such energies within the practitioner themselves. This ability can only be used upon those who explicitly trust the supplicant. If used upon one who wishes the supplicant harm or is actively engaged in combat against them, the effect becomes a devastating attack using the ordinal or moral energies specified.
The only season of balance currently permitted to you is that of structure.
[OOC Marcosy] you guys still haven't found the secret one anyway
