The Ability and Proficiency System

The Theurgy Point buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Theurgy Point Buy provides Packs for a Character to become proficient in a Faith-based curse and debuff style of combat, using spirits, rituals, and blood-magic to hamper enemies. Theurgy Point buy thrives with allies, especially Spirits, but is generally not good when outnumbered or in duels. As with many other Faith based Proficiencies, Theurgy Point Buy has several rules associated with it.

Theurgy Point Buy Rules

• In order to Point Buy any Packs from Theurgy Point Buy, the Character must be a devout worshipper of any Religion.
• Theurgy Point Buy derives its power from the Gods, so it is considered God Magic, and not Planar Magic. Still, in Regalia, non-Unionist God Powers are considered Magic in some way.
• Theurgy Point Buy should generally have aesthetics of rituals, blood magic/sacrifice, and works best with the aesthetics of the following Religions: Evolism and Pagan Faiths.
• Theurgy Point Buy is not locked to a Stance, but Abilities there-in have a special mechanic called Ritual Offering, which reduces Abilities cooldowns when HP is sacrificed from oneself, or one's allies.
• Theurgy Point Buy cannot be invested in if the user invests in any of the following: Paladin Point Buy or Shaman Point Buy.

Ritual Offering Mechanic

Theurgy Point Buy has special Abilities that are designed to be used in repetition by sacrificing health. The user generally starts off strong at the start of fights when healthy, but becomes weaker with less HP to spare. The mechanic is described below:

• Hex Defense as an Ability must be active for the Ritual Offering Mechanic to apply. Theurgy Point Buy Abilities can also be used in conjunction with Constitution, just without Ritual offering.
• Ritual Offering can be taken from any allies within Emote Range, as long as the Theurgist can see them. Allies do not need to consent to be used for Ritual Offering.
• The Theurgist can use Hex Defense at any time to sacrifice 2 HP to set the cooldown of one of their Theurgy Abilities to zero, allowing them to use it.
