With the power of their faith, the character is able to drive out evil influences from the target character. All of the following effects are removed from the target when affected by this skill: possession, Demonic/Hierarch Charm, Vampiric Charm, or similar affects determined by Plot. This skill will not work on other spells, skills, or abilities that are cast or used by evil characters like Enslavement Spell, Domination Spell, Hypnosis, etc.
To use this skill, the target character needs to be unresisting. They do not need to be unconscious or bound, but they must remain immobile during the activation. The character must spend 30 seconds in prayers and pontificating – something to make it obvious that an exorcism is taking place – and brandish their focus the whole time. At the end of the 30 seconds, the character needs to touch the target with a spell packet (touch, not thrown).
Defenses that stop physical attacks will not stop this attack. Empower and the Resist ability are the only defenses that will stop this skill.
In the case of possession, the possessing character (the demon, undead, etc) may not possess any character for 5 minutes.
This skill requires the use of the character’s focus and a verbal, which must be at least 5 syllables, not including the skill’s name, and must contain some reasonably recognizable version of the name of the skill. The character using this skill needs to start and end their 30 second roleplay with a verbal (which is part of the 30 seconds). This skill is not used if the possessing character leaves the target character before the 30 second verbal is finished.
