Clerical Prayers (L)

Lex Talionis

The caster accuses the victim of a crime while casting this prayer. He must be specific. This must be a dastardly deed. Attacking the party is not enough. If the target is guilty of said crime, he takes the full effect of all damage, causes, etc. which he has done in consequence thereof, subject to a ST. If the action is continuing, he will continue to take damage as he dishes it out. If he is not, the cleric takes the damage in question or six points, whichever is greater, no saving throw.

ZOE: one target; Range: 6"; Duration: one day; ST: Spiritual-20%

Life Force

This enables a "cure in advance" to be cast on one recipient. This means that while casting this spell, the cleric simultaneously casts a cure, which is later used by the recipient. (Note: the cleric uses up the necessary spell points for the cure as well as the Life Force.) The cure will take effect at the discretion of the recipient. If the cure is not used by the end of prayer duration, it is wasted. No more than one such prayer can be in effect on one person.

ZOE: one person; Range: 6"; Duration: until dawn or used; ST: none

Life Sense

This spell allows the recipient to sense any living being within 6" and swing at them with no penalty for darkness or invisibility.

ZOE: one being; Range: none; Duration: "L; ST: hours" none

Light

This casts light equivalent to lantern light. The prayer may be cast on an object, or in a place. Covering the object will block the light.

ZOE: 4" illumination; Range: 6"; Duration: standard; ST: none

Locate Oathbreaker

As Locate Person, but the person to be located must be a known perjurer, criminal or oathbreaker. The cleric must be convinced of the individual's guilt to a moral certainty before this spell will have any effect.

ZOE: self; Range: 1/2L mi; Duration: L hours; ST: none

Locate Object

The cleric is enabled to know the direction to an object of which he has a full and complete description, provided it is within range. Certain nondescript objects, as rough stone stairs leading down, can also be located using this prayer. The range can be found by triangulation. If the cleric moves in or out of range, he will gain/lose contact.

ZOE: self; Range: 6 x L"; Duration: 1 turn; ST: none

Locate Person

Similar to a Locate Object, this allows the cleric to know the direction to a given person, provided the person fails his save. The ST need only be rolled once per casting.

ZOE: self; Range: 1/2L mi; Duration: L hours; ST: Spiritual

Locate Stolen Object

This Locate Object can only be used on "hot goods".

Lore

This is really an ability, rather than a spell. The cleric can recall a great volume of lore about the world. By expending the prayer points he will use a full set of lore on one ordinary subject of his own choosing for the duration of the prayer. Only one such prayer may be in effect at any one time on one character. This can include history, geography, botany, etc. It will not include arcane or peculiar subjects, and will never include anything which the character could not have found in a library somewhere.

ZOE: self; Range: n/a; Duration: standard; ST: none
