'''Censure''' allows the [[Cleric]] to invoke an ages-old incantation, used by the gods in the days of yore to place a mighty rebuke upon those that displeased them. Any living creature (not in the following of the cleric's deity) within hearing of this enunciation runs the risk of being [[stunned]] or even entirely [[frozen|immobilized]] for the duration of this spell.

Censure allows the Cleric to invoke an ages-old incantation, used by the gods in the days of yore to place a mighty rebuke upon those that displeased them. Any creature within hearing of this enunciation runs the risk of being stunned or even entirely immobilized for the duration of this spell.

Effect

Censure will cause a character or creature to become either stunned or immobilized, depending upon the magnitude of the endroll. For endrolls < 150, the effect will stun the creature/player, while those > 150 will cause an immobilization effect.

Censure will attempt to hit a minimum of 4 targets. This minimum can be raised by training in Spiritual Lore, Religion (Seed 5 of the Lore Progression) to a maximum of 20 targets. If cast in general, the spell will not effect other players in the same group as the caster or CONVERTed to the same deity. This limitation can be circumvented, if desired, by casting the spell directly at the vagrant follower.

Duration

Duration of the spell is based on endroll, capped at 25 seconds. Note that the duration "starts over" when the stunned/immobilized threshold is reached, potentially allowing a longer effect with a lower endroll.

Deity-Specific Messaging

As each of the Arkati and Greater Spirits has a different sphere of influence, the exact nature of the rebuke visited in their name will differ. Below can be found the translation of the doom pronounced upon one of little faith.

Pantheon of Neutrality and Unaligned Spirits

Gosaena
For your transgressions, you will be judged in the land of death, where there is neither escape nor reprieve. The angels know when you will pass the gates, and their sickles are sharp enough to slice apart a soul....
Zelia
No mist and no moonlight, no mercy, no insight! Your bones and your eyes, all your heart, all despised! Your luck is despair, and nobody will care when you scream in the rain, never escaping, so totally sane....
Aeia
For your transgressions, there shall be no shelter for you anywhere that the Mother's eye sees. A garden to others will be withered dust to you. You will be homeless and helpless, rejected by all mothers, a wanderer forever without any kin or comfort.

For your transgressions, disfiguring venom shall pour through your veins. Strong men shall fear at your presence, weak ones shall faint away, and all will rise against you to exile you forevermore!
The Huntress
For your transgressions, all those with cause against you shall have the strength of a hundred men apiece. Their hands will be guided divinely for true strikes and fatal blows, and the sands shall drink your life's blood without mercy.

Pantheon of Lornon

Andelas
For your transgressions, you will be hunted, little prey. Between shadow and light, between branch and wall, the eyes you cannot see will see you. The claws are sharp, and your flesh is weak. Run, little prey, for the chase is marvelous fun....
Eorgina
For your carelessness, your spirit shall be shackled by invisible chains, rendering you a lowly slave. You will grovel at the feet of the one who controls your freedom, kissing the jeweled hem of her garments and begging for a chance to redeem yourself!
Fash'lo'nae
For your transgressions, text will blur before your eyes, and words will shift upon reaching your ear. You will never understand anything of value, and you will never be able to communicate that which you already know.
Ivas
For your transgressions, you shall know a hunger with no filling, a thirst with no quenching, and a yearning with no satisfaction. Every need you have will burn without ceasing until your entire body is aflame....
Luukos
For your transgressions, the mark of the liar shall be upon you. No truth you speak shall ever be believed, setting every ally against you and all friendly blades at your back. In death, you shall be drawn into the service of those lies, and all you ever do will serve the hunger of the Serpent....
Marlu
For your transgressions, your ever-fading power shall fuel the end of all that you know. Everything shall be destroyed, but you will face the oblivion first of all.
Mularos
For your transgressions, there will be no comfort for you. Your blood will run untended, and your heart will break unnoticed. You will break yourself to the ground, and break your wrists on a blade, all in the company of uncaring silence.
Sheru
For your trangressions, the darkness shall surround you, and the amber-eyed spawn of your nightmares will join you there. Given flesh and given fangs, your nightmares shall come as you stumble helplessly through a night that knows no dawn....
V'tull
For your transgressions, your blood will run across the soil like a river, and your splintered bones will be sown across the land!

Lornon-Aligned Spirits

Amasalen
For your transgressions, your blood will flow from your body in rivers! Your skin will be stripped off to decorate the temple walls as your still-beating heart feeds the high altar....
Onar
For your transgressions, a contract has been placed against you. The price for your life has already been paid.

Unaligned

For your trangressions, the greatest of wraths will enfold you. All punishment that you have earned will be portioned out to you, more than any spirit or body or soul can endure....
