Divine: Universal
Action: Prayer, an offering to the divine, and touch.
Cost: 1 SP
Duration: Permanent.
Spell: The caster offers something thematic to their divine (an animal, a corpse, golden goblet, sword, etc - It should be notable) and prays whilst marking a symbol upon an infant anywhere from newborn to three years old. This marking can be in water, ash, blood, etc. and does not denote where a marking (no bigger than an inch long/wide) will form. The marking location is at the choice of the parents OOC, and whilst most markings will be replaced by another, it is possible for a secondary mark to be present as a 'birthmark' only (in the cases of two parents of different faiths). Clarify with Divine staff if it is applicable. The traits of baptism can fade at a time decided by the player of the one baptised, with the mark remaining or similarly fading.
Note: This can be cast on a pregnant mother instead, in which the child will be born with the marking already applied, automatically applying to both twins/triplets if applicable.
Valiant; Mark of the Brave
The offering disperses into flakes of blue and maroon before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them like a healed light scar, in the vague shape of a sword or shield. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being a little brave, finding they shrug off those bumps and bruises they get through the early years.
Sallana; Mark of the Virtuoso
The offering disperses into red and white petals before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them like a red or white petal, musical note or small rose, more akin to a birthmark. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being more artistically inclined, be it painting, dancing, or making music.
Note: Sallana baptisms can result in replacing markings from the spell ‘Blessings of Fertility’ OR the infant can have two markings.
Visage; Mark of the Watcher
The offering disperses into small, harmless shards of mirror before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them like an inky smudge or eye shape, of either grey or blue hues. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being particularly curious, learning how to read and write easier than others of their age. Some tend to find water almost fascinating.
Korog; Mark of the Craftsman
The offering disperses into small pieces of refined amber gemstone before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them like an ashy smudge, but resembling an anvil or a hammer in shape, with a golden detail (handle of the hammer, for example). Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being a little stubborn, eager to do things on their own, but having a talent at making things and being proud of their own successes.
Skraag; Mark of the Wight
The offering disperses into a cloud of flies before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them as a dark green or black skull or a bloody smudge that can’t be wiped clean. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being a little peculiar, morbidly curious, and a little difficult to frighten. They do not get sickly with mundane illnesses, but don’t seem entirely healthy.
Grey Lady; Mark of Judgement
The offering disperses into an area of mist for a short time before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them as a light grey area similar to a scar in the form of an hourglass or a set of scales. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being easier to calm, and a little quiet. They can be a little superstitious.
Ignis; Mark of Kings
The offering disperses into embers that float harmlessly about the air before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them as a golden sun or crown that shimmers in the light. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being a little noble in bearing, and seem less prone to lying. Fire sometimes fascinates them.
Theodra; Mark of the Huntress
The offering disperses into a cloud of wild grasses and leaves that float about the area for a while before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them as a silver feather or arrow that shimmers slightly. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being a little explorative, climbing things more often than others of their age. Stray leaves often appear in their hair or clothes, with little explanation.
Jax; Mark of Adventure
The offering disperses into flakes of gold and silver before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them as a sort of tattoo, following the theme of a star, anchor, or coin. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being adventurous and a little bold, laughing a little more often. They have a habit of trying to take items for themselves.
Jishrim; Mark of Madness
The offering disperses into a cloud of little spiders before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them as an inky black spider or web, occasionally glinting multiple colours. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being generally disruptive and chaotic, less prone to doing what they’re told. Some of them find they can move their eyes independently of one another.
Shalherana; Mark of the Allmother
The offering disperses into a cloud of white and green leaves and petals, scattering around the area for a time before vanishing entirely. A mark appears upon them as a soft white shape resembling a butterfly, flower, or feather. Children who grow up with this mark may show traits of being a little kinder, more thoughtful. Some tend to show interest in gardening or botany, occasionally finding a small white flower on their person.
