Prayer Descriptions

ARISE, THE PHOENIX
Level: Pri Inc 3
Target: One creature, dead for less than one round
Duration: Instantaneous
Divine Inhibition: Yes
Normal: You catch the soul of a deceased creature and return it to its body, which you reinvigorate with divine power. If the target has been dead for less than one round, they are restored to life, with 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier hit points.
Intensify (Normal): For every +1 modifier applied to the DC, the creature returns to life with an additional 1d6 hit points.
Intensify (Normal): For every +6 modifier applied to the DC, you can revive a creature that has been dead up to an additional round.

Intensify (Reverse): For every +5 modifier applied to the DC, the maximum hit points of a creature you can affect with this prayer increases by your petitioner level (Example: If you intensify this prayer three times, and you are a fifth-level petitioner, you can affect a creature whose hit points are at 15 or lower).

 

BEND THE FABRIC
Level: Pri Inc 2 (Tethys)
Area: Two 5-ft squares (S)
Duration: 5 rounds
Divine Inhibition: No
Normal: You cause space to fold in on itself. You designate a number of 5-foot squares up to your petitioner level. These squares need not be contiguous. Once you have chosen your target squares, you fold space in such a way as to temporarily remove the chosen squares from the space-time continuum for 1 round/level.
Creatures that were in these squares are shunted to the nearest "existing" square. For game purposes, movement through these squares requires 0 squares of movement (however, creatures cannot end their movement in a "non-existing" square - they must move to an "existing" square before taking any other action, or ending their turn); spell ranges and ranged attacks do not count these squares against their range increments; and area-of-effect effects do not count these squares against their area.
Intensify (Normal): For every +3 modifier applied to the DC, the duration of this effect is increased by 1 round.
Intensify (Normal): For every +4 modifier applied to the DC, you can affect an additional 5-ft square.

When you use this prayer, there is a base 15% chance that within 1d4+1 rounds a geomental will materialize that is hostile to the divinomental and to you; this chance is modified based on your surroundings and the presence of Divine- and Nature-aligned creatures. Such a geomental is the same size as the divinomental that is summoned by this prayer.
