3 ❖ circle of transformed time

On a day in which one of the Miseries of Nechrubel is triggered, the caster may read
from this sacred scroll in an attempt to block the unfortunate event and protect the
world from destruction. The caster must make a DR18 Presence test. If successful, time
slips slowly back and resets, the foul event never happening. Only the caster and their
allies can even remember the alternate timeline.
If the caster fails the Presence test, a second Misery instantly occurs. Do not toy with
the greater powers of the universe.
4 ❖ divine strength
The caster – or any one character within 20’ targeted by the caster – is filled with a
mighty power, a divine blessing that grants them +3 Strength and +3 Toughness for
3d3+1 Rounds. Additionally, the holy aura that surrounds the affected character terrifies
all undead characters and creatures within sight of the affected character. Treat all nearby
undead as if they have failed a Morale check.

7 ❖ healing touch
On the same Round in which the scroll is read, the caster places one hand on a target,
instantly bestowing the healing benefit of the power on the touched character or creature.
This power restores 2d4 HP to the target (up to their maximum number of HP, of course).
When the scroll is read, the caster may elect to sacrifice their own health to improve the
healing strength of the power. For every 1 HP sacrificed by the caster, increase the number
of restored HP by +d3. (A caster sacrificing 2 HP heals the target by 2d4+2d3 HP.)

10 ❖ imbue item with divine power

The caster may charge any one item with holy power. The exact results depend on the
type of object selected.
• Armor – For 3d6 Rounds, treat the armor as one tier higher. If tier three armor is
imbued with divine power, it heals the wearer by 1 HP each Round.
• Weapon – The weapon glows for 2d4 Rounds, during which time it grants a +2 to
attack rolls as well as +2 damage. (Double damage against undead.)
• Other – As the GM wishes. The benefit may be as simple as the item glows for a
short time or as complicated as the object is now a weapon.
11 ❖ kill evil
A divine being seizes control of the caster’s body for one Round during which the power
is activated, changing the character into a human-sized sphere of holy flame that lashes
out at any characters or creatures it perceives as agents of evil.
The holy sphere of fire flings dozens of screeching skulls of flame into the area, creating
a terrifying display of holy strength that survivors will never forget. All characters and
creatures within 100’ of the caster are attacked by the skulls – the power sees even the
kindest of souls as having committed some evil in their past – which deal 5d6 damage
to everyone in the affected area (except for the caster, who is unable to speak or move as
they are under the complete control of the sphere).
