By casting Crusade, the paladin emboldens their allies with the fervor of their righteous cause. The damage from the paladin's group's physical and magical bolt attacks is increased (10 points of damage weighting, equivalent to "heavy" weighting). Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases the damage weighting effect. This stacks with all other weighting effects.

In addition, successful attacks have 10% chance that a deity specific flare will occur after the attack (either plasma or disruption flares, not the same critical type as Divine Strike or Judgment for most deities). Training in Spiritual Lore, Religion increases the chance of the flare triggering. Group members who CONVERT to the same deity as the caster will gain an additional 5% bonus to their flare chance. This flare can occur even if there are other flare effects on the weapon (including Guiding Light/Sanctify).

Messaging

Main article: Deity messaging
The messaging of Crusade (1918) varies based on the CONVERT status of the caster. One example is shown below, while the rest can be found on the deity messaging page. Not all messaging is represented there; please expand it to the best of your ability.

The appearance of the flare as it coalesces around the weapon is identical to the manifestation of Divine Strike (1615).
