Communes

Communes are special abilities which Clerics can utilize by directly calling down the power of the gods. They are powered by Devotion through the performing of Cleric Rituals. Communes are granted after completion of sacred quests, and require ritual components. Communes also require that the cleric have Favor with the gods, or they will receive messaging indicating that they feel too hollow to perform the particular ritual. The Commune command is used to activate and monitor communes in the following manner:

• COMMUNE HELP will show you a list of the communes you have learned
• COMMUNE SENSE will show you communes that are currently active

Meraud's Commune

Meraud's power consecrates the area; a number of rituals can then be performed there such as playing music, reciting, dancing, exploding beads, and last rites. The mana boost is no longer a static setting. It now adds mana dependent on Theurgy skill, so it will boost good mana rooms much better, but very low mana rooms may not end up as good as before. The mana boost now extends to all the other mana types, except 'Arcane' mana which will take a penalty. The mana boost will be lessened depending on how far removed from the spectrum that particular type is from holy, and Sorcery skill if you have fairly low ranks of it. So, Holy boost > Life boost > Elemental boost > Lunar boost > Arcane penalty. The RT, fatigue hit, and falling to knees effects are also skill based. This commune no longer has the safe room feature, and is no longer restricted from use in random places. It can be used anywhere and is intended to be used to allow better Theurgy training while hunting (Going to altars will still be the best thing to do).

Start: You close your eyes and concentrate, letting your mind still and feeling your breathing grow shallow. The world folds into a soft, rich velvet darkness in which you are the only shining star. For a split second you embrace existence without substance, before exploding outward with familiar holy power. As you slowly regain a sense of being, you fight to control foreign energies flooding the area. The energies spread out around you like a blanket, covering the earth and suffusing it. You let the experience conclude naturally as the world returns around you, leaving you feeling wonderfully spent.

End: (In the consecrated room) The holy presence in the area fades quietly away.
(In another room when ending) You sense your connection to the area you consecrated earlier fade away.
Duration: ?

• Sprinkle holy water and wave lit incense at yourself, then COMMUNE MERAUD.
