They all last for CD+Caster's appropriate forces minutes, and can be used on any number of targets during their duration. The Corporeal song allows the caster to perceive the dimensions and volume of any inanimate object that he can see at a glance, and to determine weight (and thereby density) by touch. If he serves a Word, he can also determine, at the GM's option, properties that are related to that word. This is handy servitors of Lightning, who can measure electrical component values by touch; servitors of Fire would learn just how inflammable a substance is, and so on. The Ethereal song is more subtle: it allows the caster to weigh the meaning of a concept or statement. This does not tell him how true or otherwise the idea is directly; it's more useful for complex ideas. This song was one of Vapula's best early tools in discovering the rules of the universe, but he doesn't use it much these days, feeling that his current ideas are too complex for it. Besides, it's no fun. The Celestial song sharpens perception of celestial events. The CD of a successful performance is added to the CD of all Perception rolls made to hear Disturbance within the song's duration; this does work with the Celestial Song of Memory.

Whenever I encounter one I kill it with impunity, Not even small and harmless ones can beg from me immunity. I’m quite enthusiastic, too, when killing things demonical And squelching false religion and beliefs that aren’t canonical. Whene’er I find corruption I correct it with a surety, I brook no imperfection as befits the Word of Purity!" [He brooks no imperfection as befits the Word of Purity! He brooks no imperfection as befits the Word of Purity! He brooks no imperfection as befits the Word of Puri-purity!] "I miss commander Uriel but still I choose to follow him, I honor now his memory like all the other Tsayadim, In short from Mount Olympus all the way to Rome Imperial I am the very model of a hunter of Ethereals!" =====

Maybe make it broader in scope; don't have the one question be limited to just these three, but it has to fit into a certain category. So Corporeal Song of The Corpse would answer any one question about the specific circumstances of the individual's death, Ethereal can ask about the individual in life (Maybe restricted to what would be commonly known about them? Not sure you should be able to pull their deepest darkest secrets from them this easily), and Celestial covers the fate of their soul.

If it was discovered in it's own right, instead of being a varient, sure, but the way it is makes it useful but not too complicated. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2002 18:31:15 +0000 From: "Sirea Theyal" Subject: Re: IN> Live from the War... >...and it's bloody hot here, let me tell you. > >Snug > >Snug Derringer: Power +2, Acc +0, Range 10y, Shots 100 >Snug Pistol: Power +4, Acc +1, Range 30y, Shots 12 >Snug Shotgun: Power +8, Acc +2, Range 30y, Shots 2 > >Cost: For Servitors of Jean, nothing and have all the >ammo you want; for anybody with the Beta Test >Attunement, nothing and just fill out these forms for >reasonable reloads; for everybody else... well, best >to just go get the Beta Test Attunement, huh?

I thought about that, but it starts clashing with the Songs of Memory, which are Essence 2, no extra disturbance. I was thinking of the Celestial version of this song at first, and filled in the Corporeal and Ethereal versions with hard-wired functionality that evade some of the limits of the Songs of Memory. > So Corporeal Song of The Corpse would answer any one question about the > specific circumstances of the individual's death, Corporeal Memory > Ethereal can ask about the individual in life (Maybe restricted to > what would be commonly known about them?

That's the thing you can't do, even slightly, with the Songs of Memory, and was the first part of the idea I had. - --- John Dallman jgd@cix.co.uk ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2002 19:52:20 +0000 From: "Sirea Theyal" Subject: IN>Genubath, Kyriotate AA of Healing (Here's my submission for the contest... I had a lot of fun trying an opposite side Superior set up, where all of Hell's people are in heaven, and vice versa, with a Fallen Michael as the Lucifer, etc. Enjoy) Genubath, Kyriotate Archangel of Healing "The World has been wounded by the Forces of Hell, we are here to heal the damage." *Dissonance* To cause damage of any kind to a living being, unless it is to a demon, or a Hellsworn human. These angels can attack, they do not need to refrain from violence, but they can't hurt that which is not purely infernal. They will also gain dissonance if they do not heal a deserving human who is wounded, if it is within the angels power to do so. Being selfless, other angels know that their wounds can wait until those deserving of attention are healed properly. *Choir Attunements* Seraphim: By placing their hands on the body of a wounded individual, these angels will know exactly what caused any and all wounds they have, but not who caused them, and a general idea of the severity of the wound. Cherubim: These Cherubim may transfer their own body, mind, or soul hits to their attuned with a simple will roll, healing and protecting their charges from harm. Ofanim: Wheels of Healing average a +4 to their resonance whenever they are trying to seek out a safe haven for the wounded, and only then if they are in the presence of someone who is in need of healing. Elohim: These angels receive an additional 12 points to spend on Roles as doctors, nurses, counselors, healers, shamans, medicine men, etc, when starting. Malakim: Although very rare, the Virtues of Healing may spend 3 essence to not cause any disturbance when fighting a demon that had caused lasting harm to a human, lasting for the Malakite's celestial forces hours. The Malakite must spend an additional 3 essence for every demon he wishes to not cause disturbance while fighting. Bright Lilim: These Gifters can sense what would best help someone to heal from a wound, be it mental or physical. All they need to do is touch the subject, ask them what they are wounded with, and the Lilim will know right away what would be the best course of action to start the subject on the road to recovery. Kyriotates: These Kyrio's may cast the Corporeal Song of Healing for free on any vessel they are currently possessing that is wounded. Mercurian: When using their resonance on a human, these angels will also know how others have hurt and healed their subject, and to what degree. Grigori: These Watchers will automatically know who caused disturbance from the harm of a human. they will know the general direction of the offender, and if they are a celestial, ethereal, or human. *Servitor Attunements* Full-Cure: With a successful will roll and 5 seconds of concentration, the angel can voluntarily give up all of their current body hit's except for one point, and give all of them to one human they are touching. This is dangerous to do during combat though, as it makes the angel an excellent target for any demons... Purging: For 2 essence, the angel can force any and all damaging substances from the body of one target they are touching. This will force the human to vomit or defecate any substances they have in their body, and any bullets or broken pieces in the human will force their way out. Note the angel will not gain dissonance if the human is hurt by any of this, but only if the angel goes to heal the human afterwards. Calming: With a successful will roll and the expedeture of 1 essence, these angels can make anyone who is emotionally out of control calm down for the next (angels ethereal forces) hours. This works on someone who is being affected by an ethereal discord, a Habbalite's resonance, or simple emotional distress. Anesthetic: By holding a willing humans hand and making a will roll, these angels can take any and all pain the human feels upon themselves, making healing faster and easier. No wounds will appear upon the angels body, but they will feel everything that their target feels. The human will simply not feel anything, and have a soothing numb sensation until the angel lets go. *Distinctions* Vassal of Soothing: These angels will automatically get all three Songs of Healing at /6 when they gain this distinction. Friend of Healers: These angels may choose any one of the three Songs of Healing, and from then on they can cast it for free. Master of Restoration: These angels can sacrifice their own forces to restore them to someone that has lost one, with a successful will roll. Note that the angel must give up a force of the type that the target lost- the angel can't give a celestial force to someone that has lost a corporeal one, and the target can never go over their original limit. *Other Distinctions* Genubath has no common higher distinctions. *Relations* Genubath is centered totally on healing, and is much loved by fellow peace-minded Superiors, especially Fleurity, who's Word goes hand in hand with Genubath's. While she doesn't like the other Archangel's who think too much about fighting or promote damaging Words, she will not treat them as enemies, and her services are open to everyone. Allied: Fleurity, Makatiel, Magog, Vapula, Saminga Associated: Everyone else Neutral: Beleth, Belial, Baal, Vaelfor Hostile: No one Enemy: No one *Rites* - -Bring a wounded human to full recovery - -Work in a hospital for 24 hours - -Prevent the loss of a force in another angel *Chance of Invocation* 3 Genubath is a very busy Kyrio, her Word demands nearly constant action and attention to both humans and the War that is being fought, but she still keeps a smile on her faces. She is always willing to appear and help heal, and her servitors would do anything to help take the load off of her shoulders, and thus do not summon her unless they know she is needed. *Invocation Modifier* +1- A tin of band-aids +2- A bottle of some beneficial and healing drug +3- A large pharmacy store +4- A major operation to save someone's life +5- The discovery of some new and powerful healing technique +6- A successful execution of an experimental healing operation, such as brain surgery, or a limb grafting. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2002 23:45:21 +0000 From: "Sirea Theyal" Subject: IN>Magog's Band?
