Merit
Cost: • to ••••
Prerequisites:
- Seers of the Throne Status •••
A successful Seer who has served her patron Exarch well can cast spells in his name.
She hears the Tyrants’ voices in her sleep. She understands their demands directly. A black iron portal forms deep within her Oneiros, and her daimon, the Goetia representing her drive to further herself, becomes twisted by the Exarch’s agenda.
She gains the following effects, at each rank of this Merit:
Chosen Vessel (•)
Your character gains the Persistent Mystery Commands Condition.
Sword (••)
The character may use the patron Exarch’s symbolism as a patron Yantra in spellcasting, worth half her Prelacy dots in dice (round up).
Crown (•••)
The character gains an Attainment based on her Exarch’s symbolism.
Temple (••••)
If one of your character’s soul stones is incorporated into a Demesne, the Demesne becomes a Supernal Verge keyed to her Exarch, inhabited by Supernal Entities loyal to the Throne. Including Soul Stones from Seers with Prelacy linked to a different Exarch causes the Temple to collapse and immediately destroys all soul stones involved.
Drawback:
Once the Exarchs have given a command, they expect it to be carried out without delay. The character may only earn Arcane Beats from their other Obsessions in a chapter when they have already earned one for following the one granted by Mystery Commands.
