Symbol of Retribution
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.

Favor Cost
Favor cost is based on the member's level. See Order of Voln Symbols table [1] for specific examples. The self-cast version has a relative cost of 3x Symbol of Protection. In other words, one use of Sym of Retribution costs the same favor as three activations of Sym of Protection. The direct attack version (only funtions while dead) has a relative cost of 0.4x per attack.
Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Retribution
Formula: 1400 + (( level2 × 25 ) ÷ 3 )
Ex. level 15 member: 1400 + ((15 × 15 × 25) ÷ 3) = 3275 favor
Ex. level 20 member: 1400 + ((20 × 20 × 25) ÷ 3) = 4733 favor
