Symbol of Turning
Step 22
The Symbol of Turning, governed by Lord Phoen, is obtained at the twenty second step of the Order of Voln. This symbol can be used as either a single target or mass attack against undead creatures. This symbol uses the Standard success resolution system to detemine success or failure. There are several possible outcomes, from benign to instant death, that may occur depending on the level of success.
Syntax
Symbol of Turning (by itself for the mass attack version)
Symbol of Turning <target> (for the single target version)

A wraith lets out a blood curdling scream!
You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the wraith's body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.Living creature:
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before a goblin.
A goblin does not seem to be affected.Favor Cost
Symbol of Turning has a base cost which is dependent on the member's level (not member's rank). See Table for specific examples.
The base cost, for either the targeted or untargeted (mass attack) version, applies when there is one undead creature in the room. The mass attack version (untargeted) has an escalating cost that increases when more than one undead are present. There is no favor cost for living creatures. Favor cost for this symbol is capped at 8 undead creatures regardless of the number actually affected.
Favor Cost Table
| Undead Creatures |
Favor Cost |
|---|---|
| 1 | Base |
| 2 | Base × 2 |
| 3 | Base × 2.5 |
| 4 | Base × 3 |
| 5 | Base × 3.5 |
| 6 | Base × 4 |
| 7 | Base × 4.5 |
| 8 or more | Base × 5 |
Cost example for a level 40 member (Base Cost = 81) with 4 creatures present.
- Formula with 4 undead from the above table:
- Base Cost × 3
- 81 × 3 = 243 favor
Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Turning
Formula: 2100 + (( level2 × 35) ÷ 3 )
Ex. level 15 member: 2100 + ((15 × 15 × 35) ÷ 3) = 4725 favor
Ex. level 20 member: 2100 + ((20 × 20 × 35) ÷ 3) = 6766 favor
