This symbol may also be used when alive.

This use of the symbol has a duration of 10 seconds per Voln rank ([[stackable]]). The duration of this symbol when invoked by a voln master is 4:20 minutes per use.

[[Favor]] cost is based on the member's level. See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples. The self-cast version has a relative cost of 3x [[Symbol of Protection]]. In other words, 1 use of Symbol of Retribution costs the same favor as 3 activations of [[Symbol of Protection]]. The direct attack version (only funtions while dead) has a relative cost of 0.4x per attack.

Step 15

The Symbol of Retribution, governed by Lord Eonak, is obtained at the fifteenth step of the Order of Voln. This symbol, when dead, can be used to attack undead creatures in the room by sending out ripples of essence toward them. This symbol uses the Standard success resolution system to detemine success or failure.

This symbol may also be used when alive. If used while alive, it will surround the invoker with an aura that reactively flares with divine retribution at undead who manage to strike the player (in much the same way as reactive armor flares). This use of the symbol has a duration of 10 seconds per Voln rank (stackable). The duration of this symbol when invoked by a voln master is 4:20 minutes per use.
