Faith 

Faith represents an Elohim's strength of being and authority over Creation. All the Fallen are
painfully aware of how weak they are compared to their time in the First Age, for while many
aspire to regain enough strength to wage war against the angels of Heaven again, not even the
most powerful demons today come close to the world-shaking glory once wielded by the
seraphim. Still, the Fallen have many plans and face many dangers, and even the most
reclusive or benevolent aim to rebuild their levels of Faith lest their freedom be taken from them
again.

All Fallen begin with Faith 1 for free. During character creation, 5 of a character's 10 Merit dots
can be exchanged for Faith 2, or 10 of their 10 Merit dots can be exchanged for Faith 3. During
play, dots of Faith can be purchased for 5 Experience.

As a character's Faith rises, they have more power at their disposal and are able to perform
more supernatural feats at the same time or in quick succession. The total number of Numen
points that they can have at any given time increases, and the number of Numen points they
can spend in a turn rises. Once their Faith dots reach 6 or higher, the higher their Attribute and
Skill dots can go as well.

In order to hold on to such power the demon must have a larger and larger cult dedicated to
their name. Their effective number of dots in the Cult Merit drops by one dot at Faith 6, two dots
at Faith 8, and three dots at Faith 10. If this would reduce their Cult rating to zero or less, their
Faith rating drops to the highest level supported, along with their Attribute and Skill rating.

Numen 
As the architects of Creation, demons possess a special authority over reality. They measure
the energy it takes to shape the world as ​Numen​, the embodiment of their divine supremacy.
Before the War, the Elohim received near endless amounts of Numen from the Creator, albeit
directed through the First House and filtered down the celestial hierarchy. Now each Rebel
angel must take the divine energy that exist within the world, and the souls of men.

The Numen Advantage is rated in points rather than dots. Numen points measure the reserves
of power the demon has available within themselves. Character spend Numen to perform
various miracles, but they can only hold and spend a certain number of points per turn as
determined by their Faith.

Uses for Numen

● Mortal’s Mask​: Elohim may adopt a mortal form to better walk among the flock. Spend 1
Numen, and for a scene the Elohim loses all their Visage traits to take on the form of a
mortal. The appearance of the form is chosen as it is adopted. The Elohim can shift back
into their normal form as a Reflexive action.
● Healing​: Elohim can reflexively spend one point of Numen to heal their body of two
bashing damage or one lethal damage. Aggravated damage can be healed by spending
five points, which may be spread out over multiple rounds so long as the demon takes
no other action.
● Evocations​: Elohim must spend a point of Numen to perform most Evocations, and
three points of Numen for Greater Evocations.
Realm Shifting​: The Elohim is a creature that exists on many layers of the universe.
With the Elohim can shift themselves up or down one Realm, transmuting their form to
the proper matter of the realm.

Duty and Urge 

This system replaces the Virtue and Vice of the Fallen.
Angelic Duty​: The Elohim were each created to fill a particular role. Though possessed of free
will and some degree of individual creativity, they ultimately had a calling that justified their
existence and connected them to the Creation that they loved. Choose a particular duty that the
Fallen held when they were at their best. It should be something broad, such as protect mortals,
ensure justice, or maintain Creation. Then interpret it through one's House and Primary Lores:
defend one's pack and their territory, set the threads of fate based on virtue or vice, or seal
gates to the Abyss. The duty must reflect a long-term goal and speak of the Fallen's better
nature. Whenever they devote at least a scene of time during a session to their Angelic Duty
and achieve something meaningful, the Fallen regains a number of Willpower points equal to
their Grace, as well as one point of Numen.

Demonic Urge​: The Fallen are pained individuals that desire to take out their misery on
everything around them. Though they risk losing Grace and falling into madness, by acting on
their worst instincts they gain a reprieve from their own suffering. Choose some bizarre, cruel, or
destructive act that the Fallen truly enjoys whether they like it or not, such as hurting mortals,
gorging themselves on food or drugs, seducing and rejecting others, or destroying faith. Every
scene in which they successfully act out their Demonic Urge, the Fallen regains a number of
Willpower points equal to their Sin, as well as one point of Numen, and Torment.

Grace
Grace is an Advantage ranked 1-10 which replaces Integrity. It measures an Elohim's
connection to Creation, the sanctity of their spirit, and their faith that there is meaning in the
world. As their Grace falls, an individual becomes less a divine being and more an infernal spirit,
gaining the properties and weaknesses of such. When a character experiences a breaking point
of their Grace level or lower, as listed below, they make a degeneration roll with the number of
dice equal to the breaking point. Willpower cannot be spent on this roll. Regardless of the result,
take a Beat.

Dramatic Failure: The character rages against what the world has done to them. They lose a dot
of Grace, gain three temporary Torment, and gain the Damned Condition.
Failure: The character becomes bitter and frustrated with what they have been reduced to. They
lose a dot of a Grace and gain three temporary Torment.
Success: The character is anguished by their actions, but remains resolute. They gain three
temporary Torment.
Exceptional Success: The Fallen weighs the wickedness of the act against their inherent
nobility, and comes out more determined than ever. They gain the Righteous Condition.

Effects of Grace

Rapture: Low-Grace demons inspire fear, revulsion, and insanity while those with high Grace
ratings evoke calm reverence. When a Rapture roll is made, mortals add or subtract automatic
successes based on the Fallen's Grace as listed below.
Spirit Weaknesses: As an Elohim loses Grace, they find it increasingly difficult to assert their
divine nature and become more like base spirits. Details for specific Spirit Weaknesses are
found under Special Rules.

Divine Will
As weak as they have become and as far as they have fallen, demons are still living instruments
of Heaven. As such, their minds cannot be penetrated or compelled by even the greatest
supernatural powers, nor can control of their host be wrested from them by other beings
capable of possession. Their emotions can be read and manipulated, however, and they can be
forced to act by spirit laws as described below.

First Tongue
Demons are all fluent in the First Tongue, the language of perfect communication spoken before
their imprisonment. After the fall of Babel, the ability to comprehend the First Tongue was
stripped from humanity, condemning them to centuries of conflict borne of miscommunication
and isolation. Whenever hearing the First Tongue, mortals instead perceive musical
instruments, sounds from nature, or someone "speaking in tongues". When presented with its
written form, they simply fail to see it. Only a mortal with Occult 3 and a specialty in Demonology
can learn to understand the First Tongue. This provides the Fallen with a means of covertly
communicating amongst themselves. Additionally, since all languages are but broken versions
of the First Tongue, demons are automatically fluent in all languages, including those of dead
cultures or used by occult societies.

Names and Titles

The Fallen's knowledge of the First Tongue provides the means to perfectly describe their
nature and place in Creation. When sharing a portion of themselves in this way, they are
expressing a True Name. This word is a spiritual anchor for them in the world; when mortals
offer worship or perform occult rituals using one of a demon's True Names, they make use of a
mystical conduit that reaches the Fallen wherever they may be. Even speaking a True Name is
enough to draw the demon's attention, and with a thought they can ascertain who said it as well
as hear what the speaker says afterwards and even reply if they so desire.

In the First Age, each Elohim had at least one True Name known publicly by the rest of the
Celestial Host. This Celestial Name was employed to converse with each other across any
distance. During the war, it also became a means by which to spy on those who accidentally
spoke their name aloud. For this reason, it became common practice for the Elohim to refer to
one another using their Celestial Titles so as not to alert the subject of a conversation. These
titles had no real power; angels used their rank and purpose within their House, while demons
developed sobriquets reflecting their deeds during the war.
A True Name can be expressed either verbally or as a personal seal, both of which have
intrinsic power:

Spoken: A demon automatically knows the identity of someone who speaks their True Name
and may converse with them verbally. Additionally, rolls to perform summoning rituals and
veneration rites receive a +2 bonus for each of the demon's True Name used.

Seal: Placing a demon's seal somewhere creates a mystical link that they can use. Correctly
inscribing it requires a Wits + Occult roll with a penalty equal to the demon's Faith. If successful,
the demon may later perform a single Miracle as if they are in place of their seal.

A demon has as many True Names as they do facets of their soul. Other than their Celestial
Name, they guard these carefully, for greater knowledge of the demon's essence grants power
over them. Yet even if they might aim to only ever employ one True Name, the nature of the
First Tongue is that the intention and medium of its expression says as much any combination
of syllables. To learn a True Name as it is shared with allies, as it is whispered by a demon's
cult, and as it is used as a conduit for their rage is really to learn three of the Fallen's True
Name. In fact, those versed in the First Tongue can uncover True Names by learning a demon's
Duty and Urge, studying their deeds and Miracles, and observing their relations with others.

Rapture
The Fallen are divine beings walking the Earth performing miracles. Sadly, most mortals, even
those of devout belief, have great difficulty reconciling divine manifestations with their
perceptions of the world. When Elohim appear in their Apocalyptic Form or perform Miracles
blatantly, they induce a state of Rapture in mortals present. Contrary to common usage of the
term, Rapture is not always a joyous and beneficial condition. Presence of the divine is deeply
shocking, even more so when it comes in the shape of a monstrous demon. To determine how
a mortal reacts, they must make a Rapture roll.

Dice Pool: Resolve + Composure. Mortals in crowds are greatly influenced by the reaction of
others and more susceptible to panic. They suffer a -1 penalty when with a handful of people up
to a -5 penalty when in a tightly-packed crowd. Furthermore, automatic successes are added or
subtracted based on the Fallen's Grace.
Action: Instant
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The mortal goes catatonic. They may gain a derangement or even die from
the shock, at the ST's discretion.
Failure: The mortal is overwhelmed and loses all rationality. They may collapse into tears or
start gibbering madly, run away, stare silently in awe unable to make sense of what they see. If
armed, they may even attack the demon out of fear or a violent need to destroy the cause of
their confusion. Later on they suppress or rationalize the memory away.
Success: The mortal maintains some sense and is capable of interacting with the Fallen. The
Rapture instills in the mortal a belief in the divine and a world with meaning. The degree to
which they are affected by this revelation and the time it takes before it begins to lose
authenticity and relevance to their life depends on successes scored. At 1 success, the mortal is
overcome with joy or fear, barely able to think or act clearly, but the feeling passes and is largely
forgotten as soon as the scene ends or the demon leaves their presence. At 2-3 successes the
mortal is affected by the Rapture but remains mentally present, though they are still dazed and
may miss details of the situation. They strongly remember the experience for at least a few days
or weeks, after which it becomes a thing of the past. At 4 successes the mortal is fully alert and
capable of relating the experience months or years later.
Exceptional Success: The mortal recognizes and accepts the revelation almost immediately.
They will never forget the moment of Rapture or have it lose meaning in their life, and they do
not suffer from the effects of Rapture for the remainder of the story.

Lores 
In the beginning, the Lores were expressed many ways on different layers of reality, such as
through words, inscriptions, motions, or states of being. Each was a means of touching and
changing the world, while obeying different laws and routes. In the modern world, the Fallen
best remember the Lores as aspects of Enochian, ways to speak with and influence specific
elements of Creation. The Lores are constrained by three general laws:

The Law of Noble Artistry: The celestial Lores are means by which to build and enrich Creation.
They are not well-suited to creating things that are hideous, harmful, or alien, nor can they take
something which exists and render it void. A Miracle of Flame and Supply may hold a fire still
and cause it to die out quickly, but it does so through natural processes. For effects that create
monsters, destruction, or suffering, see Blasphemies below.

The Law of Exclusive Dominion: Each Lore should be focused on its own domain and not create
effects better suited to other Lores. The Lore of Winds controls the motion of air and can create
cyclones, while the Lore of Storms governs rain, lightning, and hurricanes. The Lores of
Awakening and Flesh may both be capable of physical healing, but no other Lores are.
Likewise, the Lore of Celestials may influence Numen and Miracles, but it cannot simulate the
effects of another Lore on it's own.

The Law of Divine Evolution: Though they possessed enormous power at the dawn of Creation,
even then the Elohim focused on small, gradual changes to the world for fear of damaging their
work or impeding that of their peers. With only a fraction of their former glory and the weakened
faith of humanity, the Fallen can no longer shatter mountains or forge new dimensions. As a
general rule, a Miracle can only affect a single target or reasonably sized object at one time.
Anything larger requires a Greater Miracle, and even then is typically limited to the Fallen's Faith
in tens of yards. The ST might allow for larger effects, though no more than a number of miles,
in appropriate situations. The exception to this rule are the Lores of Humanity and Radiance,
which are designed to deal with crowds of mortals.

As the Fallen gain greater proficiency in a Lore, they recall groups of syllables and expressions,
called Miracles, which allow them to create different effects. Upon learning the first dot of a
Lore, the Fallen is able to perform a Miracle of Knowing, the simplest and most intuitive of all
Miracles. At each further dot of proficiency, the Fallen chooses another of the Miracles to learn
with that Lore. Each Miracle governs a specific intention for a Lore, and allows the Fallen to
create near any effect that fits the combination of Lore and Miracle. A Miracle of Supply and
Flame could be used to shape a sword or fire or cause a campfire to dance, while a Miracle of
Preservation and Flame could enchant a flame to burn brighter or encircle someone in a
protective aura. Truly powerful effects must be performed with a Greater Miracle, which requires
the fourth dot a Lore. The Miracle of Knowing has no Greater Miracle application.

Increasing Lore rating cost 3 Experience.

Miracles

Knowing: The first step in altering a facet of Creation is to be able to Name it, to know its nature
and purpose in the world. Miracles of Knowing allow the Elohim to sense, study, and perhaps
speak with those things governed by a Lore. They can also influence them in small ways that
come naturally to the facet involved; the wind might be asked to blow a certain direction, fire to
spontaneously ignite an object, or wild beasts to stalk other prey.

Dominion: Miracles of Dominion assert the Elohim's authority over and connection to the
aspects of a Lore. They can instill trust, fear, or obliviousness, call creatures to them, and
influence in other subtle ways. In some instances they allow the Elohim to transform their form
or possess another's. Greater Miracles can control minds directly or influence large groups of
people at once, even grant expertise and dispositions where none existed before.

Exaltation: These Miracles governs imbuing people or objects with properties or powers related
to a Lore. They make the impossible possible, and fuel legends of blessed sites and people
gifted by angels. Anything which leaves a subject innately supernatural, gives it characteristics it
would not normally possess, or simply changes it completely from what it was can be
considered a Miracle of Exaltation.

Preservation: Effects which provide protection, concealment, healing, or greater potency are all
Miracles of Preservation. They can make an aspect of Creation stronger or more durable, or
shape it into a defensive shield around themselves or others. Greater Miracles can decree that
someone be unharmed by rocks and metals, heal aggravated damage, close all entryways to an
area, or render a building invisible.
Providence: Miracles of Providence work through chance to reward or punish based on one's
actions, to create signs and portents, and to arrange moments of destiny and happenstance.
Curses can be levied that cause the wind to blow harshly when one lies, or a door enchanted to
open only for the innocent. While not as quick or powerful as Miracles of Preservation or Supply,
Providence can be used to set events in motion so that a person comes across a new pet or
their car breaks down at a certain street. Greater Miracles can ensure that a single home is
unharmed by a devastating storm or that an individual falls dead should they ever enter a
particular building.

Revelation: These Miracles govern communication, divination, and moments of inspiration. They
touch upon the Divine Plan and secret truths of Creation, granting foresight, skill, and wisdom.
They can also allow one to communicate regardless of distance or barriers, and to gain far
greater knowledge of a subject than possible through a Miracle of Knowing. Greater Miracles
can strip away all falsehoods and delusions, create messages that spread through a community
and beyond, and reveal major events days or weeks in advance.

Supply: These provide what is needed, either by creating objects from nowhere, shaping
materials into a needed form, or giving motion to matter. Miracles of Supply bring the aspects of
a Lore into existence, whether it is igniting a flame, forging a path through a wall, or forming
bonds of friendship with perfect strangers. Greater Miracles might create large and complex
machines like cars or trucks, give birth to new life in someone's womb, or give rise to
earthquakes.

Performing Miracles

Performing a Miracle is an instant action rolled with Faith + Attribute + Lore or Skill. The
Storyteller chooses the Attribute based on whether the effect is Mental, Physical, or Social and
whether it is requires or enhances Finesse, Power, or Resistance. The player may choose to
use either their Lore rating or a Skill related to the effect being produced. Miracles cost one
Numen to perform, with the exception of the Miracle of Knowing, which is free. When performing
a Greater Miracle, the Numen cost increases to three.

Only one success is needed to perform a Miracle, but additional successes may increase
potency at Storyteller's discretion. The Storyteller may apply a circumstance penalty if
attempting to perform a Miracle with incomplete knowledge of the target, such as scrying for a
demon known only by their host name, or if it requires a great deal of precision, such as raising
the earth into the shape of a statue.

Fallen that have some degree of permanent Torment must count the number of dice on their
Lore rolls that come up equal to or lower than their Torment rating. Should the number of such
dice outnumber the number of successes rolled, the effect manifests as a Blasphemy.
Alternatively, a demon may choose to perform the Blasphemy, though doing so typically
generates temporary Torment.
When a Miracle is directly opposed by another Miracle, such as treating a disease another
demon created, a Clash of Wills occurs. All characters using conflicting powers enter a
contested roll-off using their Faith + Lore + Torment. Ties reroll until one character has accrued
more successes than all others. The effect invoked by that character wins out an resolves as
usual, while all others fail. Characters may spend Willpower to bolster the contested roll, but
only if they are physically present and aware that powers are clashing.
