Step 18
The Symbol of Need, governed by Lord Jastev, is obtained at the eighteenth step of the Order of Voln. This powerful symbol sends an image of the member's location to all other members within range. Since it can be used while dead, it affords a fallen victim a method to signal for help. There are, however, some locations where the symbol will not completely function (A Symbol of Need can be received but there is no associated location transmitted with it).
This call for aid is often answered by clerics, empaths and others who will attempt to reach the member and provide assistance. These rescuers will often transport the deceased member back to a safe location for healing and resurrection.
Syntax
Symbol of Need (not case sensitive, can be abbreviated)
Messaging
Often followed by a room description at the member's location.
Favor Cost
Favor cost is based on the member's level. See Table for specific examples. Symbol of Need has a relative cost of 4x Symbol of Protection. In other words, 1 use of Need has the same favor cost as 4 activations of Symbol of Protection.
Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Need
Formula: 1700 + (( level2 × 30 ) ÷ 3 )
Ex. level 15 member: 1700 + ((15 × 15 × 30) ÷ 3) = 3950 favor
Ex. level 20 member: 1700 + ((20 × 20 × 30) ÷ 3) = 5700 favor
