Theurgy
For use with Dolmenwood.
Keep vigil at a saint's shrine from dusk until dawn. Swear to keep its Observance. Receive its Blessing at dawn. Break the Observance and any Blessing from that saint is lost. The saint will never bless you again.
Only one Blessing may be held. Reciting its Prayer spends it. A new Blessing replaces the old. Any number of saints may be served. Their Observances remain binding.
