The Cleansed person resists being affected by psychic powers, Antinomy, Urge or Hubris; half of the casters victory points (rounded down) becomes a negative penalty for any of these powers attempting to affect the target. This rite has also proven effective in treating wounds when no antiseptic is available. Some Amaltheans perform this rite daily as part of their regular devotional ceremonies. A Cleansed person participating in a rite acts as a vestment (+1 to rite roll), but the target must have some knowledge of theurgy, if not actual ability, in order to really participate.

This rite has prevented many confrontations from escalating to violence, which accounts for the Amaltheans reputation as diplomats. In addition, Calming may be effective for the targets who are psychically manipulated or possessed b demons; while it does not actually cure or prevent these conditions, it may aid the target by, for instance, silencing the possessed so the Exorcism may continue undisrupted. Add the victory points to any Calm rolls the target needs to make. | + | |Calming = {{!}} [[Theurgy#Calming|Calming]] {{!}}{{!}} 3 {{!}}{{!}} Ca+Charm {{!}}{{!}} G, LOS, Prolonged, 1W {{!}}{{!}} Calm group of people |

Health of the Congregation allows a priest to bolster all links in the chain of the community by bonding its members together to share in one anothers suffering. A number of willing volunteers may divert the wounds of one another Congregation member to themselves in any combination. During the duration of the rite, each may take a number of Vitality damage points initially delivered to another member of the congreg- ation equal to their Faith score. Thus, is Scotan the Vorox and Farther Haverson the Amalthean were linked to Sgt. Roc of the Muster, when Sgt. Roc gets hit by an assault rifle for five points of damage. Scotan and Haverson can elect to take some of this damage themselves; each can take up to their Faith in damage (1 for Scotan and 5 for Haverson). This rite allows one congregationer plus one for every victory point to absorb damage for another. This damage is treated as normal damage of whatever type effected the target, be it fire, bullets. Lasers, falling or whatever. (Mark the damage with an "F" to keep track of the total number of a members Faith allows).

Damage from these ills is not healed by the cause of the problem is removed, allowing patients to recover normally. In the case of disease, the patients own immune system wins over the virus, while poisons are expelled from the body, leaving evidence which may be analysed by investigators attempting to trace the prisoner. Additional, emotional turbulence can be soothed; the symptoms of neuroses or psychoses are abated, and a theurge may use this rite to aid therapy for such afflictions; the victory points on the activation roll becomes the goal bonuses for the therapist or patient to work towards recovery. | + | |Restoration = {{!}} [[Theurgy#Restoration|Restoration]] {{!}}{{!}} 5 {{!}}{{!}} Fa+StoicMind {{!}}{{!}} LGP, T, Instant, 1W {{!}}{{!}} Cure disease / expell poison |

According to Eskatonic doctrine, Hamoneyelos rules the Sixth Emanation from the Celestial Sun, among the ranks of Virtues. Hamoneyelos has never revealed itself directly to anyone, but always manifests in a tangible physical form under the guise of a good Samaritan, a kindly stranger, a timely messenger, or any manner of helpful or generous locals, passers-by, wandering mendicants or even forgotten acquaintances. Regardless of the type of manifestation, Hamoneyelos will always be in a position to make available to the theurge and her party whatever safety, sustenance or support necessary (not necessarily what is requested, but what is truly required). | + | |Invitation to Hamomeyelos = {{!}} [[Theurgy#Invitation to Hamomeyelos|Invitation to Hamomeyelos]] {{!}}{{!}} 9 {{!}}{{!}} Pa+Impress {{!}}{{!}} LGP, -, -, 1W {{!}}{{!}} Call for divine mercy |

Since this rite focuses only on intentional dishonesty and deliberate untruthfulness, it is sometimes possible for the target to dissemble, hiding or twisting with contested roll of Wits+Charm. This roll can receive a negative modifier if the target is trying to hade a sin of his own, and a positive one if the target is protecting an innocent under suspicion. The Avestite may still detect half-truths with three or more victory points, and may guess their exact nature with a critical success.

The rite only indicates the presence of such evil, but does not show the theurge exactly what is going on; some degree of precision is possible, however, with a more successful roll. One victory point, for example, merely signals evils presence in a general area ("There is evil in this house!"): with three or more a specific area can be sensed ("Somebody in this room…"); five or six gives the theurge a sense of the type of evil present (i.e., Antinimic, Urge, etc).

If uncontested, the target will feel compelled to confess and make up for the transgression. The target may choose to contest with a roll of Calm+StoicMind. When the rite is cast without the verbal accusations to guide it, there is no telling exactly what its effect may be. A relatively guiltless person may begin to obsess on some minor bit of mischief from childhood, while a truly sinful person may be driven to wildly self-destructive acts that could endanger everyone around him. | + | |Sting of Conscience = {{!}} [[Theurgy#Sting of Conscience|Sting of Conscience]] {{!}}{{!}} 3 {{!}}{{!}} Ex+Impress {{!}}{{!}} LG, LOS, Prolonged, 1W {{!}}{{!}} target will feel compelled to confess |

At the gamemasters discretion, this can be adjusted by circumstances; for example, a theurge with sufficient tech knowledge may try to target only the starships control systems for 7 points). The severity of the malfunction is based on the victory points: one would be simple mishaps taking only a few turns to correct, such as misfires, jams etc.; three is more serious but repairable damage which cannot be corrected until the next span, like dead batteries, overheating motors, systems crash etc; fire or six means the machine is permanently ruined and unfixable, with broken chassis, cracked casing or wiped memories.
