       Long ago, in aeons past so distant that few beings still in existence recall them, a fomori poet and philosopher by the name of
   Gauro formulated a series of logical and philosophical rules describing a system of attributes.  These attributes were known as karma,
   dharma, and bodhi -- roughly analagous to the modern concepts of ethics, duty, and knowledge.  Out of these concepts, many disparate
   schools of philosophy, ethics, and even theology arose, but one particular group dedicated to the core philosophy itself was born -- a
   loose association of devotees known as the Gauric Legion.
   
       By pursuing enlightenment through knowledge, life experiences, and the fulfillment of their duties as members of the Legion, Gauric
   Legionnaires slowly build a mystical understanding of esoteric concepts and techniques that allow them to alter their bodies and spirits
   in ways that ordinary mortals cannot fathom.  In particular, Gauric Legionnaires pursue harmony and balance of both body and spirit
   through the understanding and maintenance of chakras.

Legionnaire's Duty

      Members of the Gauric Legion are sworn to uphold the principles of altruism as a means to self-perfection.  In practice, this oath
   binds them to teach and enlighten others, but above all else to help others and protect them from harm.  As part of this duty,
   Legionnaires must slay the evil that would do harm to the innocent and protect the weaker from harm by shielding them in combat with
   their own bodies.  Legionnaires who perform these duties will find their dharma increased, potentially furthering their overall
   spiritual progress.

Advancement

       Members of the Gauric Legion pursue an enduring and complex path to spiritual fulfillment consisting of concepts they refer to as
   dharma, bodhi, and karma.  Each of these concepts has several components and facets of meanings, but can generally described as
   enlightenment, knowledge, and wisdom.  The concept of Karma Phala as extolled by devotees of Ganesha is a related topic, actually
   functioning as a component of Spiritual Wisdom along with general life experiences.  Similarly, knowledge of skills held in high esteem
   by philosophers and logicians can be described as Spiritual Knowledge, while the accrual of dharma and bodhi through the acts of duty
   and enlightenment form the basis of the concept of Spiritual Enlightenment.  The Legionnaire who develops all three of these facets of
   their understanding and acceptance of the universal principles of balance can acquire great facility in the techniques of body and
   spirit alteration, so long as they maintain at least one chakra.

Enlightenment

   Perform Enlightenment
   Gauric Legion Esoteric Maneuver
   Usage: perform enlightenment upon <who>
   The power of a Gauric Legionnaire to perform the special powers and duties required of them is deeply rooted in the act of understanding

philosophical and esoteric concepts. Combined with the strong ethos of aiding others, it should perhaps be no surprise that members of the Legion greatly esteem the practice of bringing enlightenment peacefully to others, increasing their understanding of philosophy, metaphysics, and other esoteric concepts as well as potentially awakening them to deeper spiritual enlightenment.

Additionally, members of the Legion who instruct others in these subjects often find their own understanding of such concepts increased as the process of teaching allows them to discover previously unknown facets of knowledge, as well as increasing one's bodhi, or understanding of the true nature of reality, which can potentially provide progress upon one's own path to spiritual enlightenment. However, repeated enlightenments upon the same subject provide diminishing returns unless a lengthy period of time has passed between lessons.

You must be trusted by someone to be able to enlighten them.

Chakra Control

       The primary and most obvious sign of a Gauric Legionnaire's esoteric knowledge, as well the powers and abilities that knowledge
   grants them, is the presence of chakras upon the Legionnaire's body.  A Legionnaire must have at least one chakra present to access any
   of the special abilities available to members of the Legion aside from the act of enlightenment itself.  Additionally, a Legionnaire's
   chakras are highly resistant to harm and immune to the standard dissipation that occurs to the chakras of others over time.
   
       Although members of the Gauric Legion gain no intrinsic ability to charge their chakras from the secrets of Gauric Lore, their deep
   understanding of chakra metaphysics allows them to move energy between any chakras they possess.  To evenly distribute energy between
   all chakras currently active concentrate on balancing your chakras.  To fully charge a specific chakra at the expense of another
   chakra's energy levels, concentrate on transferring energy from your <source> chakra to your <target> chakra.
