Priestly Hierarchy

Within the Unionist College exist several ranks of priests, otherwise known as Celates. These ranks hold various responsibilities within the College, and thus those with higher offices are consider the most versed in matters of theological and bureaucratic knowledge. Below is a list of all priestly ranks, in order of seniority:

The Primae-Everian was the official head of the Unionist College, considered to be the Unionist equivalent of a pope. Their duties included presiding over Holy Diets (a gathering of Celates to discuss religious dogma) as well as serving as the chaplain of the Imperial Palace. The last Primae-Everian was Piete Kade, who was assassinated by radicals within the College for attempting to reconcile with the various Schisms. While the Emperor is able to appoint a new Primae-Everian, the Concilly Council has advised him to leave the position vacant, out of respect for the previous officeholder.

The Concilly Councillors are a group of well-learned Celates who are responsible for overseeing the vast bureaucracy of the Unionist College. Due to the prestige associated with bei9ng a Concilly Councillor, this position also suffers from political intrigue, with various faction plotting to place, or keep, their preferred Celates on the council. Despite this potential for corruption, Concilly Councillors are nevertheless very competent in their duties, as only those most theologically gifted can hope to be appointed to this position.

The Arch-Everians are Celates who administer the most populous cities within the Regalian Empire, with their Celeries often including one of the Arch- or Grand- Temples of Unionism. Arch-Everians are highly influential figures, and often compete with the secular Dukes over authority within their cities (as the line between secular and religious boundaries starts to blur in these areas). Arch-Everians are formally appointed by the Primae-Everian on the recommendation of the Concilly Council, though it is well-known that the regional Duke also plays a notable role in suggesting their preferred candidate.

The Everians are senior-ranking Celates who oversee a collection of Celeries within a geographic area. The position is usually appointed by the local Duke or Count, and confirmed by the Concilly Council. Everians are often the highest rank achieved by Celates, as higher offices start to involve political games that remove well-meaning yet naive Celates from rising in the ranks.

The Celates are the standard rank of priest within the Unionist College, achieved after completing clerical training and becoming ordained by an Everian. Most priests remain Celates for life, though this lack of upward advancements is hardly met with frustration due to the fulfilling experiences most Celates have with the faithful. While higher ranks become more focused on administrative duties, Celates are more focused on the spiritual needs of Unionists, and so spend most of their time providing various services to others.

The Lay Priests are not part of the Unionist College, or even considered clergy to begin with. Any Unionist can be a Lay Priest, which is an unofficial title given to those who are very knowledgeable about Unionism, and assist the Celates with their duties. There is no formal training required, though many Lay Priests often study Unionist theology in order to better assist their fellow Unionists. As there are no Celates within the Guided Unionist community, Lay Priests are responsible for overseeing community maintenance of the local Temples and guiding spiritual discussions.

+===Priestly Hierarchy===
-*Add generic healing things
+Within the Unionist College exist several ranks of priests, otherwise known as Celates. These ranks hold various responsibilities within the College, and thus those with higher offices are consider the most versed in matters of theological and bureaucratic knowledge. Below is a list of all priestly ranks, in order of seniority:
-*See about point exchanges to be similar to other abilities
-**Clockwork Technique requires 3 points PLUS the 3 points for each spell it does. So 6 points for a single light mend spell, 9 for two of them. I think 10 points to get light mend 2 and some other cool thing on top of it like curing mundane shit will make the 1 point difference work. plus no need to carry some clockwork thing around either.
-Medical Sciences covers everything to do with ailment treatment. This includes from the base dispensing apothecary medication to treat already diagnosed ailments, but also diagnosing both bodily malfunctions as well as sickness and other natural ailments (so not magical ailments). Furthermore, Medical Sciences also covers surgery, understanding of bodily anatomy as well as other medical procedures and even holistic medicine. Points put towards this Proficiency increase the speed at which all these actions can be done, as well as their efficiency, or the amount of knowledge a character has on the bodily functions of any given sapient being.
+*The '''Primae-Everian''' was the official head of the Unionist College, considered to be the Unionist equivalent of a pope. Their duties included presiding over Holy Diets (a gathering of Celates to discuss religious dogma) as well as serving as the chaplain of the Imperial Palace.

Any additional effects (or non-harm effects like debuffs) are not removed or mitigated. The damage must have been applied in the last 24 hours. This Ability can be used twice outside of a clinic per 24 hours. If the user is inside a clinic, this Ability has no cooldown.
+*The '''Concilly Councillors''' are a group of well-learned Celates who are responsible for overseeing the vast bureaucracy of the Unionist College. Due to the prestige associated with bei9ng a Concilly Councillor, this position also suffers from political intrigue, with various faction plotting to place, or keep, their preferred Celates on the council.

-| 10 Points
-| Clinical Treatment
-| Mundane Ability
-| Direct Touch
-| The character is familiar with all [[Mundane Afflictions]] by heart, and can prescribe their cures/treatments to patients.
-Furthermore, while within Direct Touch, the user can heal wounds on a target through this Mundane Ability that counts as a Immobile Channel, using a medical clinic's equipment. Surface tissue wounds like cuts can be fixed within 5 minutes of stitching with the target sitting or laying still, while deeper cuts and gashes take up to 15 minutes, leaving behind small scars that eventually disappear over time. This Ability cannot be used on self, can only be used outside of combat, and can be used twice per 24 hours outside of a clinic. If the user is inside a clinic, this Ability has no cooldown.
+*The '''Arch-Everians''' are Celates who administer the most populous cities within the Regalian Empire, with their Celeries often including one of the Arch- or Grand- Temples of Unionism.

They are also fully aware of the anatomical makeup of all sentient Races discovered in Aloria, and can perform in-depth surgeries on patients. They are also able to perform amputations in the field without causing fatalities.
-Furthermore, while within Direct Touch, the user can heal greater wounds like internal damage or severe bleeding on a target through this Mundane Ability that counts as a Immobile Channel, using surgical equipment. This Ability require the target to be laying down unconscious (using an alchemical anesthesia) on a medical clinic's bed, with the user healing deeper wounds over the timespan of 1 hour (though this process may be time-skipped to last 15 minutes if all parties consent). This Ability cannot be used on self. Maims classified as Aesthetic maims can be healed with this Ability, though it will leave permanent scarring on the skin surface. Regular maims such as removed limbs or eyes, maims that detriment a character cannot be recovered through this Ability.
+*The '''Everians''' are senior-ranking Celates who oversee a collection of Celeries within a geographic area. The position is usually appointed by the local Duke or Count, and confirmed by the Concilly Council. Everians are often the highest rank achieved by Celates, as higher offices start to involve political games that remove well-meaning yet naive Celates from rising in the ranks.

-| Direct Touch
-| The user can use advanced medical practices to create an emergency substitute for wound treatment on themselves or others. This allows them to cover up 5 cuts and bruises, OR 1 deep gash/internal wound outside of a clinic. This negates the wound, removes the pain, and prevents a lethal attack from killing the target. Removing the emergency aid returns the wound to its previous state. This Ability does not heal; it is a stop-gap measure until a clinic can be found. This Ability can be used once per person.
