Remaining chaste

“I’d have ta’ say remaining chaste and virtuous.”

“Good choice that’s a particularly sacred one. If you remain true to that tenet you should be able to tap into the divine magics. But note if you fail to do that, you will lose your holy power until you dedicate yourself to a new tenet.”

“Hmmm okay suppose that makes sense. So how do I do it?” You say putting on Petra’s amulet

“That’s where I come in. With the limited time we have I can only teach you one or two minor miracles. So let’s get to it.”

Over the course of the next few hours you learn to summon magic with your hands and speak divine words to summon holy power. However practicing a handful in such a short amount of time is proving difficult. Despite this, you master two miracles. One by the name of flash, the other by the name of shield of purity.

Flash should prove quite useful. Just by doin’ some finger movements and opening me’ hand I can temporarily blind someone. Shield of purity can be used to summon a spectral shield in place of my wooden one. Definitely useful if I lose it in tha’ skirmish.

Petra mentioned that I shouldn’t overdo it with either though. One too many miracles could tap me’ energy and make me too weak to fight for a time.

“There!” Petra says. “That should hopefully prove useful. I’m surprised you managed to learn not one but two miracles in such a short time. That’s the power of a strong tenet I suppose!”

“Aye thanks Petra!” You flex your hand a couple times mentally practicing flash. “Now, I think the others will be lookin’ to meet up soon. We should be joinin’ them.”

“It’s about that time.” Petra says with a hint of anxiety to her tone. “You go ahead, I’ll be along in a minute.”

Petra seems to need a minute gathering her gear so you exit the tent and make your way towards the meeting point.
